El problema del conocimiento es uno de los temas fundamentales de la reflexión filosófica contemporánea, ha dejado al descubierto la grave crisis epistemológica de la investigación científica por sus vacíos ontológicos y antropológicos a la hora de comprender la realidad. Las experiencias de los investigadores educativos revelan que las categorías de pensamiento cartesianas y positivistas del discurso moderno mantienen minados los procesos de producción del conocimiento que se generan en y a través de la investigación educativa. El propósito de la (...) disertación es encontrar en las experiencias sustantivas de pensadores e investigadores educativos nuevas claves de reflexión que promuevan un tipo de discurso y una praxis científica más vivencial y significativamente humana. El método utilizado es la sistematización de experiencias. De las experiencias recogidas emergieron dos claves teóricas fundamentales para la reflexión del problema del conocimiento en el contexto de la educación universitaria, las cuales son: pensamiento científico renovado; de la metodolatría a la metodología científica. El fenómeno del conocimiento emerge desde las experiencias como una idea cuestionadora que nos introduce de manera nueva en la trama de la reflexión epistemológica de la praxis científica, desde nuevas perspectivas que proyectan el camino hacia una investigación científica con carácter conciencial, es decir, que toma en cuenta las dimensiones fundamentales de la condición humana, que dentro de la investigación objetiva no tendrían razón para la validación científica.

In 1871, the German philosopher Gustav Teichmüller moved from his Basel chair to the much better paid chair in Tartu, and taught there until his untimely death. Besides philosophy, he had studied various disciplines, including the natural sciences. In the preparation of his own philosophy, he explored the history of philosophy for more than twenty years and made pioneering contributions to the history of concepts. Only by the early-1880s did he begin to elaborate his "new philosophy", an original version of (...) personalism, both anti-idealist and anti-materialist. He did this in three major works which built upon each other. Unwritten remained the keystone of his philosophy, the Philosophie des Christentums, in which Teichmüller wanted to show that the philosophical contents of Christianity were encapsulated by his own personalism. One major objective of his philosophy, as I see it, was regaining reality---in particular the reality of the person---after it had been lost in the wake of the failure of modern representationalism. Notwithstanding its coherentist elements, I see Teichmüller's philosophy as a precursor of direct realism. Although he fell into oblivion soon after, his thoughts were received throughout Europe, notably by Friedrich Nietzsche, Aleksey Kozlov and Nicholas Lossky. His extensive literary remains, which are kept in Basel, remain to be explored. (shrink)

Individual, family, economic, and other forms of people suffering impact organizations. Suffering in the workplace is probably a more common occurrence than expected in everyday life, and opposite to health and employee wellbeing. According to the World Health Organization, 300 million people worldwide struggle with depression and close to 800.000 people die due to suicide every year. The European Survey on Working Conditions in the European Union gathers the most varied aspects of working conditions, such as the duration of the (...) working day, relationships between collaborators in organizations, or healthy work habits. Among the results of that survey it is noteworthy that almost half of the close to twenty-two thousand workers surveyed in the 27 member countries stated that they felt uneasiness due to the conditions of their work.

El presente trabajo busca exponer las premisas y la fundamentación teológica que subyace a la moral de Pedro Abelardo, con el fin de mostrar cómo en el sistema filosófico de dicho autor, conocido por su racionalismo, hay una justificación que extralimita dicho sistema. Para ello, se expondrá la terminología clave de su moral, la aplicación práctica de dichos conceptos, y una serie de objeciones tanto teológicas como filosóficas.
