- La filosofía primera y los misterios revelados (I): Las nociones de causar y de dar, y el misterio de la gracia(Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2021) Falgueras-Salinas, I. (Ignacio)Philosophy can clarify some human problems, which often darken the mysteries of Christian faith. In this piece of research, which is the first of a series of papers on this topic, the notion of giving is introduced and studied with the aid of a well-known Augustinian text about the Divine grace. After comparing it with other texts of Semipelagian authors, the paper proposes to understand the grace doctrine according to a logic of gift or donation, rejecting its causal interpretation – because if the grace activity is understood causally, freedom is impossible, and therefore merit. However, if the grace’s activity is conceived according to the activity of giving, then freedom is required – which makes room for merit or demerit. Neither Pelagians nor Semipelagians understood this. But St. Augustine discovered that grace is a donation, by which our merits are the joint outcome of God’s gifts and our collaboration with them.
- Todo éxito es prematuro(Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2020) Falgueras-Salinas, I. (Ignacio)Leonardo Polo’s expression “success is always premature” is considered from four consecutive approaches. From a historical point of view, it identifies a modern and contemporary problem: the overvaluation of productivity. Anthropologically considered, such problem is the rejection of filial condition. A strictly practical point of view, rather than overvalue human action, shows it as fragmentary and fallible. As a result, human being often pays attention to minor repairs, that is, intermediate ends, that are inexhaustible, and in so doing human being misses the ultimate ends. From the Christian philosophical approach together with Polo’s games theory, the inexhaustible intermediate ends can be subordinated to an inexhaustible future, transforming the inexhaustibility of the intermediate ends in the possibility of a social positive-sum game.
- La dualización productiva normal: precisiones y ampliación. Bases antropológicas próximas de la actividad económica (I)(Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2020) Falgueras-Salinas, I. (Ignacio); Falgueras-Sorauren, I. (Ignacio)This piece of research marks the beginning of a second stage in an investigation that two earlier articles initiated. In particular, the paper (i) provides a more accurate description of some ideas already sketched in our previous work and, (ii) details the unfolding of the normal productive dualization, attending to its inferior pole in the first place. In doing this, new themes are introduced which exhibit traits that have been thought of as characterizing the economic activity. However, our research reveals that these traits are not exclusive to this human activity, but they simply precede it. Just for this reason, we regard them as the first proximate foundations of the economic activity.
