- Amor, justicia y relación. Bases de la economía según la encíclica Caritas in veritate(Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2015) Fernández-Duarte, J.C. (José Carlo)The encyclical letter Caritas in veritate had, when published, an unprecedented reception by mass media. But not many knew how to read the message of the encyclical in its proper context. This work aims to make explicit the triple context of the encyclical: theological, philosophical and economic and thus clearly show the depth of Benedict XVI’s message for the world of economists. At the core of that message is the concept of «relationship» that Benedict XVI draws from his theological thought. Even when it has a theological origin, this doesn’t mean that “relationship” is a strange element for the economy. The studies of Economia Civile, the Italian movement that gives the insights into the problems of the economy to the encyclical, show that the concept of relationship has always been an issue that the economy has faced, either to reject or to include. What determines its rejection or inclusion? The way the thought about the economy activity has of considering the justice and love between men. Mainstream economic thought inherits that conception from Adam Smith. And the understanding of love and justice of Smith’s proposal are tied to his theological thought, which he inherits from the Protestant tradition of natural jurisprudence. Some of the contemporary shortcomings in the practice of the economy have those foundations as causes. That’s why is justified the call of Benedict XVI to rethink the foundations of modern economic thought, beginning with love and justice.
- Libertad, amor y verdad en la teoría de la acción de Harry Frankfurt(Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2015) Montoya-Camacho, J.M. (Jorge Martín)Harry Frankfurt is considered one of the leading exponents of moral psychology of our time. This recognition is evident especially in the academic field of analytic philosophy, which has been developed in the Anglo world. Since the late sixties, Frankfurt has been devoted to study the actions of the person. His most fruitful work is related to two ideas about the will of the agent. The first proposal of Frankfurt is the assertion of a hierarchy of desires, which structures the will of the person. The second one is an indication that love is a determinant of human action. Harry Frankfurt explains that love is able to configure the structure of the will of the agent and, therefore, their motives. In the dissertation I analyze the effectiveness of Frankfurt’s ideas related to love in explaining the motivation of human action.
- El Conocimiento en McDowell. Quietismo, intencionalidad y verdad en Mente y mundo.(Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2015) Salinas, J. J. (Juan José)This paper examines John McDowell’s minimal empiricism and its relation with the philosophy of knowledge in the realist tradition. In this summary I consider intentionality. A comparison is made between Aquinas’s and Polo’s reflections on that matter, and McDowell’s idea that experience has a conceptual content that allows a rational connection between impressions and thoughts. McDowell’s claim that thinking is directed towards the world and that we can achieve a knowledge of things, as well as his rejection of the notion of an intermediary between mind and world, are close to the realist notion of intentionality, according to which we know through formal signs that instead of constituting themselves things or entities, consist in the pure act of directing towards actually existing things.
- La representación filosófica de Thomas Reid(Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2015) Lozano-Platonoff, A. (Álvaro)Thomas Reid, filósofo escoces del siglo XVIII, se enfrentó con el relativismo al que conducía la así llamada teoría de las «ideas». Frente al representacionismo sin fundamento que proponía –y por ello el escepticismo al que conducía– Reid se da a la tarea de analizar dicha teoría. En esto texto se presenta el diálogo que el escoces mantiene con sus contemporáneos –Descartes, Malebranche, Locke, Berkeley y Hume, principalmente– y su propuesta filosófica que, con la ayuda de la reflexión sobre el Lenguaje y el sentido común débil, presenta una teoría gnoseológica intencional desde un acto perceptivo compuesto de concepto y creencia fundado en el valor metafísico de los principios del sentido común.
