Hace unos días se me ocurrió expresar en voz alta y en el ámbito de una tertulia naciente que la filosofía era algo prescindible, superfluo, juego floral más propio de rimadores profesionales que disciplina seria y orientadora de seres y sociedades... y no les cuento la que me cayó encima. Y como no hay que confundir fondos y formas, témporas con semántica, ni de analizar esta última en sus trasfondos lógico y lingüístico para establecer un cognitio expreso y conciso, y además extra ordinem, voy a apuntarme a una especie de tesis de Riccobono que, transpuesta en mi favor, me deja en condiciones óptimas para poder decir 'donde dije digo dije digo...' |

 | | Plato and Aristotle by Raphael |
The diametric differences in approach between Aristotle and Plato, Aristotle's teacher at the Academy in Athens, are deeply embedded in much of what Western philosophers have bickered about for centuries since -- endless variations on the themes of Plato's belief in an objective reality existing apart from human sensation, and Aristotle's emphasis on intelligent observation of physical phenomena.An orientation toward the physical may have been cooked into Aristotle's veins: his father Nicomachus was physician to the Macedonian king Amyntas II, and it is said that he began training Aristotle to follow in the profession from a young age. Nicomachus died when Aristotle was 10, but certainly there may have been some attempt on the part of Aristotle's guardian to carry out Nicomachus' wishes in sending the 17-year old to study in Plato's famous Academy. |

Cuando hablamos de Aristóteles, estamos hablando sin lugar a dudas de una de las figuras más emblemáticas de la antigüedad Griega. Aristóteles fue el creador de la lógica formal, de la economía y de la astronomía. Se le considera también el precursor de la anatomía,la biología, y se le atribuye ser el padre de la botánica y la zoología. Junto a Platón, Aristóteles es una parte importante en el corpus de creencias del pensamiento occidental del hombre común. Su filosofía está basada en conceptos que no son extraños para la inmensa mayoría de los hombres, puesto que, este ilustre caballero nacido en el reino de Macedonia, |

Ignacio Zara (Bilingual article- Artículo bilingüe) He is a philosopher very well known in Spain due to his work as a professor (Euskadi and Madrid), journalist (“El País” and the  | | Fernando Savater |
magazine “Claves”), writer and, from the last 10 years, politician too (“Foro de Ermua”, “¡Basta Ya!” and “Union, Progress and Democracy”). He was born in the Basque Country (San Sebastian), in 1947. At the age of 25, influenced by Nietzsche and Cioran, he published “Nihilism and Action” and “Rubbed Philosophy”… a hit in the Europe of the 70’s. In these essays, he proposes a new method of reflection, more intuitive and less regulated: like Spinoza, he claims for an Ethics of Happiness and rejects an Ethics based on rules and obligations. |

Charles Kinney Jr. My favorite place in all of Norway is on the second floor of the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo. The Norwegians call it Nobel Field. 96 digital displays on bending plexiglass rods flow among 1,000 LED lights that respond to human movement like blades of grass. The displays tell the stories of 84 men, 12 women and 23 organizations that have won the Nobel Peace Prize. I'm always humbled when I stand in this space. It has the feel of a playful church. There's a hushed atmosphere, but the space, even with the heaps of cold technology, is incredibly human. Children play while adults reverently look at the screens. I contemplate each display and wonder what made these people give so much; what made them evolve into what they eventually became. |
