    The recovery of the natural desire for salvation: foundations for a narrative dynamic theodicy model based on the concept of bodily vulnerability
    (2024) Montoya-Camacho, J.M. (Jorge Martín); Gimenez-Amaya, J.M. (José Manuel)
    Dynamic Theodicy (DT) is a broad concept we bring up to designate some modern Philosophical Theology attempts to reconcile the necessary and perfect existence of God with the contingent characteristics of human life. In this paper we analyze such approaches and discuss how they have become incomprehensible because the metaphysical assumptions implicit in these explanations have lost their intrinsic relation to the natural human desire for salvation. In the first part we show Charles Hartshorne's DT-model, arising from the modal logic of perfection, and the modern rational problems of this position in making infinite-necessary Being (God) and finite-contingent being (human) compatible. We note that at the heart of the contradictions in this DT account is a dialectical mode of thinking that makes it difficult to find a correct solution to this dichotomy, and to assume a human desire that could be considered related to lifelong goals. In the second part, supported by the proposal of Hans Urs von Balthasar's DT, we develop the concepts of bodily vulnerability, corporeal intentionality, and natural desire for salvation, which come from an Aristotelian-Thomistic thought. This theory is established in order to build an argument, following Alasdair MacIntyre¿s ethical framework, on how to make possible the recovery of a metaphysical and anthropological desire that transcends natural aging and goes beyond death. We conclude that both human dependence and the virtues that arise naturally when human beings decide to seek the good of their transcendent condition, make it possible to recover the natural desire for salvation through divine and human love.

    Offshore outsourcing from a catholic social teaching perspective
    (Springer, 2022) Sison, A.J. (Alejo José); Guitián, G. (Gregorio)
    We explore offshore outsourcing through the lenses of Catholic Social Teaching (CST). First, we review the outcomes of the 30-year debate in business ethics on issues related to offshore outsourcing. We then cluster authors into two groups—the justice-centered approach and the welfare-centered approach—corresponding to different perspectives on the ethical challenges of offshoring. In the second part, we present and apply the four fundamental principles of the CST (human dignity, subsidiarity, solidarity and the common good) to offshoring, in dialogue with the previous debate. The unity and interconnection among the CST’s fundamental tenets provide a cohesive framework that integrates the points made by the justice-centered and welfare-centered approaches, while introducing the principle of solidarity, more focused on the worker as a person and their flourishing. CST also stresses the need to initiate processes oriented toward structural changes for the sake of human dignity and the common good.

    De la fenomenología de la voluntad al primado de la persona en la acción. A. Pfänder y L. Polo
    (Asociación Española de Personalismo, 2024) Sánchez-León, A. (Alberto)
    Tanto Pfänder como Polo han hecho unos estudios dignos de mención en lo que a la ética se refiere. Queremos rescatar en este breve trabajo lo mejor de estos pensadores que desde perspectivas y métodos muy dispares abordan temas y resuelven problemas de modos muy distintos llevándonos, cada uno a su manera, al puerto seguro del ser personal. Dichos pensadores nos muestran que, tanto con el método de la fenomenología realista como con el método poliano del abandono de la presencia, se puede entrever e incluso fundamentar el primado del ser personal en la acción humana.

    A reflection on the essence of gratitude in palliative care: healing in severe disease and professional affirmation through accompanying patients until the end
    (Sage, 2023) Aparicio, M. (María); Julián, V. (Victoria) de; Riojas, M. (Mariana); Centeno, C. (Carlos); Arantzamendi-Solabarrieta, M. (María); Crespo, M. (Mariano); Sánchez-Migallón, S. (Sergio)
    Background: Gratitude has sparked interest in the world of health. It is considered as a personality characteristic or as an emotion. However, little has been explored in the context of the interpersonal relationship of caring. An exploration in the context of end of life is ground-breaking. Objectives: This study analyses and reflects on the object of gratitude from the perspective of both the persons being cared for and the professionals providing health care. What are patients and their family members grateful for in palliative care? What is the reason for gratitude? What do these health professionals perceive when there is gratitude? These questions were answered considering the gratitude generated in health care encounters, not gratitude as personality trait. Methods: The phenomenological approach was used starting from lived clinical experiences. In the light of the dialogue between clinical experiences and philosophy, this study proposes an explanation of the 'real' or essential object of gratitude in palliative care. It was conducted within the context of palliative care. The study materials were manifestations of gratitude expressed or felt in clinical encounters and published in newspapers or shared in daily encounters. These were the basis for analysis and reflection and interdisciplinary dialogue. Findings: The analyses performed indicated healing or deep relief in serious diseases as objects of gratitude according to patients' perspective, and professional self-affirmation until the end according to the professionals' perspective. Conclusion: The two perspectives shared an important common fact, namely, the need to consider the persons in their entirety, and the importance of not losing sight of the value they have. This concept would characterize the nature of gratitude, its object being the 'objective good' for patients, family members, and palliative care professionals.

    Suárez y Leibniz sobre los principios
    (2022) Pereda, R. (Rubén)
    G. W. Leibniz fue un lector frecuente de la obra filosófica de Suárez, lectura que dejó una huella profunda en su metafísica. En concreto, el uso que Leibniz hace de los principios se puede ver como una aplicación práctica del tratamiento que hace Suárez de los principios en las Disputaciones metafísicas.

    El nuevo argumento de Penrose y la no-localidad de la conciencia
    (Universidad Pontificia Comillas, 2022) Herce, R. (Rubén)
    Roger Penrose formuló en 1989 un argumento contra la IA. Dicho argumento concluye que la explicación científico-matemática de la realidad es más amplia que la meramente computacional, porque existen ciertos aspectos de la realidad no-computables. Este artículo analiza dicho argumento y la discusión al respecto, para concluir que el tipo de argumento que quiere desarrollar Penrose está viciado de raíz, lo que impide llegar a las conclusiones deseadas. A la vez se sostiene la validez filosófica de sus conclusiones y se apunta a la idea de no-localidad como consistente al hablar sobre la conciencia.

    Interdisciplinariedad y transdisciplinariedad en la investigación de Carol Ryff
    (UMA Editorial, 2020) Herce, R. (Rubén)
    Este artículo estudia la investigación realizada por la psicóloga Carol Ryff y quiere mostrar un ejemplo de cómopuede la filosofía colaborar conla ciencia experimental. Entre sus premisas está que la clave de una ciencia no es tanto la realización de experimentos contrastables, algo necesario en ciencia ex-perimental, como su concordancia con la realidad. De ahí que el conocimiento específico de las diversas disciplinas, en algunos casos, tienda a agruparse en un movimiento primero multidisciplinar, después interdisciplinar y finalmente transdisciplinar. Normalmente esta tendencia no se concreta, pero en algunos casos como el mostrado sí. El proceso responde a una dinámica científica de avanzar en un conocimiento holístico que trasciende los límites o barreras le-vantadas por algunas interpretaciones de la actividad científica.

    Imperio y causalidad en Tomás de Aquino
    (Uniwersytet Mikołaja Kopernika, 2021) Montoya-Camacho, J.M. (Jorge Martín); Enríquez-Gómez, M.T. (María Teresa)
    Ante ciertos modelos causales del agente libre inspirados en Tomás de Aquino, resulta interesante atender al modelo causal presentado por Tomás mismo, especialmente en un texto a partir del cual se puede rastrear la exposición de la acción libre como el efecto de los cuatro sentidos causales aristotélicos. Se trata de la cuestión sobre los actos imperados (ST I–II, q. 17); en cuyos primeros cuatro artículos –y en sus textos paralelos– determina que la voluntad es causa agente; la razón práctica, causa ordenadora; y el imperium de ambas (razón y voluntad) se relaciona con el acto imperado como lo formal con lo material.
