Temas:	BIENESTAR COHERENCIA SALUD MENTAL
Resumen:	Meaning in life is a core component of human experience, and it plays a relevant role in the promotion of mental, social and physical well-being, as well as in the successful adaptation to adverse conditions, including chronic and progressive diseases. This paper provides an overview of the most recent conceptualizations of meaning in the psychological domain, specifically addressing its tripartite structure, encompassing the facets of coherence, significance and purpose. Empirical evidence will be summarized concerning the role of social relationships and self-transcendence as primary sources of meaning in life. Research findings highlighting the role of meaning as a core component of mental health, and as a resource in adaptively managing illness consequences on daily functioning and life goals will be also reported. Current research gaps and future directions for theoretical and empirical advancements will be outlined.

Título :	Meaninglessness in psychotherapy. Clinical challenges and spiritual resources
Tipo de documento:	texto impreso
Autores:	Smaranda Buju
Fecha de publicación:	2020
Artículo en la página:	p. 33-54
Idioma :	Italiano
Resumen:	This study shows some of the difficulties concerning the issue of meaninglessness in life when moving from the philosophical register to the therapeutic one without abandoning any of the perspectives. We see that authors from different fields of study (philosophy, psychotherapy, psychiatry) have common opinions about the minimal conditions for a healthy approach of the meaninglessness as philosophical and/or therapeutic issue. Beyond reviewing recent psychological research that indicates the important steps taken in the empirical and therapeutic research of meaninglessness, we notice the challenge of therapists to combine resources from philosophy, psychology and religion. As religion is insufficiently developed in interventions oriented towards meaning and lack of meaning, we sustain integrating two theological virtues, faith and hope, as unconventional resources in support therapy to diminish the feeling of lack/loss of meaning in life.

Título :	Suffering, virtue, and character : why the science of virtue matters
Tipo de documento:	texto impreso
Autores:	Jennifer Cole Wright ; Nancy Snow ; Michael T. Warren
Fecha de publicación:	2020
Artículo en la página:	p. 55-72
Idioma :	Inglés
Temas:	SUFRIMIENTO VIRTUDES
Resumen:	One of the main arguments that has been given for the importance of virtue is that it is not only important for, but is in fact constitutive of, a life well-lived, necessary for human wellbeing and flourishing. Yet, human life is also profoundly fragile, often filled with, and always vulnerable to, suffering. Thus, we must ask: what role does virtue play in our suffering, in how we face it, manage it, and survive it? Recent work in philosophy and psychology has argued for an important potential relationship between suffering and virtue, but the nature of this relationship is not well understood. In this paper, we lay out a philosophically and empirically rigorous approach to conceiving of and measuring virtue as a particular type of personality trait, and then discuss the implications of our account for aiding philosophers and psychologists in their quest to understand the relationship between suffering and virtue.

Temas:	ARISTOTELES BIENESTAR ETICA PSICOLOGIA POSITIVA VIRTUDES
Resumen:	The authors of Positive Psychology have presented it as the social science equivalent of the Aristotelian virtue ethics. However, in the last two decades, numerous scholars from the Aristotelian philosophy point out relevant discrepancies between the moral theory of Positive Psychology and that of Aristotle. In this article, we aim to study three matters in the Positive Psychology that we consider in conflict with the Aristotelian moral ideal: 1) the meaning of life; 2) how virtue is cultivated; and 3) the relationship between good life, well-being and emotions in happiness. We conclude with some reflections on the distance we find between the approaches of Positive Psychology and Aristotle, considering the difference between the methods of experimental sciences and philosophy.

Título :	Virtue in positive psychology
Tipo de documento:	texto impreso
Autores:	Liz Gulliford
Fecha de publicación:	2020
Artículo en la página:	p. 91-111
Idioma :	Inglés
Temas:	PSICOLOGIA POSITIVA VIRTUDES
Resumen:	The methodological approach used by Browning and Cooper in Religious Thought and the Modern Psychologies (2004) is applied to positive psychology, with special reference to Martin Seligman, and is found to have affinities with both humanistic psychology and the cognitive therapies. The humanistic concept of self-actualisation resonates with Seligman’s understanding of signature strengths, while there are echoes of the Stoic self of the cognitive therapies in positive psychology. Both fields have left their different marks on the way character strengths and virtues have been understood in positive psychology. For one thing, understanding human excellences primarily as individual capacities occludes the fact that many virtues are profoundly relational; they are conceived, practised and sustained in relation to other agents and exercised in the service of our common human life. For another, there is much more to forgiveness, gratitude and hope than a means of effecting emotional repair.

Título :	Ontologia formale e negazione dialettica nella prima fenomenologia di Scheler. Dalla fenomenologia alla teoria delle categorie
Tipo de documento:	texto impreso

Fecha de publicación:	2020
Artículo en la página:	p. 115-135
Idioma :	Italiano
Temas:	DIALECTICA FENOMENOLOGIA FILOSOFIA ONTOLOGIA SCHELER, MAX
Resumen:	The aim of this paper is to reconstruct the research program of formale Ontologie developed by M. Scheler before his last 1922 theoretical shift. Scheler’s theory of dialectical negation will be also investigated. In regard to the first topic, the focus will be on the complex “architecture” of Scheler’s formal ontology, deepened within a theoretical framework of “Realontologie”: integrated into this framework, formal ontology becomes a basic tool for building phenomenological realisms. In regard to the second topic, the focus will be on the close theoretical relationship between Scheler’s mature suggestion of a phenomenological “objective dialectics” essence-being and the formal ontological foundation of a logical theory of a “pluralistic” dialectical negation, that is, dually, an intuitionistic, hence paracomplete, and a paraconsistent negation. Finally, it will be introduced the basics of a semiotic interpretation of Scheler’s phenomenological formal ontology within the rigorous framework of Category Theory (TC). This interpretation “strengthens” the traditional “(inter)subjective” side of phenomenological analysis (I-we talk) with a new - in the application suggested - in the “third person” “objective” side (O-talk) of semiotic analysis, that shares with the first one a common pre-logical and ante-predicative level of inquiry.

Fecha de publicación:	2020
Artículo en la página:	p. 137-157
Idioma :	Inglés
Temas:	ARISTOTELES FILOSOFIA ONTOLOGIA
Resumen:	There are several passages in the Metaphysics where Aristotle explains ontological priority in terms of ontological dependence, but there are others where he seems to adopt a teleological conception of ontological priority. It is sometimes maintained that the latter priority too must be construed in terms of the former, or that the priorities in question are not both endorsed (or simultaneously endorsed) by Aristotle. The goal of this paper is to show otherwise; I argue that what is at issue are two distinct priorities that Aristotle simultaneously endorses.

Título :	Incarnation and "de-carnation" in the hermeneutics of Gianni Vattimo
Tipo de documento:	texto impreso
Autores:	Branko Klun
Fecha de publicación:	2020
Artículo en la página:	p. 161-177
Idioma :	Inglés
Temas:	CRISTIANISMO ENCARNACION FENOMENOLOGIA HERMENEUTICA VATTIMO, GIANNI (1936-)
Resumen:	The idea of the incarnation as God’s kenotic descent and renunciation of his transcendent status plays a central role in Gianni Vattimo’s interpretation of Christianity. The self-weakening of the Christian God is intrinsically linked and structurally related to the historical emergence of (post)modern hermeneutics with its criticism of strong and of potentially violent metaphysical thinking. However, Vattimo’s understanding of incarnation harbours a paradox, as the incarnation should not be taken in a literal sense, as it is itself an interpretation brought to us through the message of the Bible. Reduced to its spiritual meaning, the incarnation in Vattimo’s approach undergoes a specific “de-carnation”. However, this seems to be a problem not only for Vattimo’s reading of Christianity, but also for his conception of hermeneutics as such. The hermeneutic spiritualisation of being as an event in language loses reference to any “fleshly” givenness, and calls for a phenomenological reconsideration of hermeneutic presuppositions.

Temas:	ANALISIS COMPARATIVO COSMOGONIA CREACION FILOSOFIA HINDUISMO MITOS PLATON
Resumen:	This article deals with the notion of creation in a philosophical sense in Plato and the basic Upanishad, the Brhadaranyaka Upanishad. This is an attempt to bring to surface any similarities and differences between the Brhadaranyaka Upanishad and Plato’s cosmological dialogue (the Timaeus, though many references are made to the Timaeus’ continuation or prequel, the Critias). An introduction in order for the works to be placed within a time-frame and then several myths are analyzed and compared, including the myth of Atlantis in Plato and the idea of time in both Plato and the Upanishad. In addition the article examines the notion of ex nihilo creation in the two texts. Finally conclusions are drawn as to the main points brought to analysis.

Temas:	FILOSOFIA HEIDEGGER, MARTIN MUNDO SER VERDAD
Resumen:	According to the early Heidegger, the world is disclosed in dependence on Dasein, which is a term for each of us. A question arises as to how the world can be established despite the particular existence of Dasein. After reviewing previous discussions of the question, I elucidate the priority of the world over my world based on Heidegger’s lecture in 1928/29, which contains a considerable discussion of the relationship between Being–with (Mitsein) and truth. According to him, since truth is essentially communal and cannot be privatized, the sphere of truth manifested by a particular Dasein is open to all other Dasein. This openness signifies, I argue, the ontological priority of an open realm that covers every sphere of truth. This open realm is no different from the world that is ontologically disclosed in common. Based on this common world–disclosure, each Dasein discloses its own world according to its life history and situation.
