Abstract: This text introduces the first Spanish translation of Hans-Georg Gadamer’s Schönheit [Beauty] (work written in the 1970s and posthumously published in German in 2007) and Odo Marquard’s Schönheit und Bürgerlichkeit [Beauty and Bourgeoisie], published also in 2007 as a delayed response to Gadamer’s views. Gadamer explores the historical development of the concept of beauty in the 19th and 20th centuries, emphasizing that beauty continued and will continue to be not only an aesthetic concept but also a normative concept. For his part, Marquard contextualizes Gadamer’s ideas in their original production framework and performs a critical analysis of them based on his own early contributions to a theory of the “no longer beautiful arts”.
utopian thought and its potential topicality. In the following section, I will show how
areté, understood as a hermeneutical and existential virtue, is dialectically related to
ethics and politics in Gadamer’s phenomenological reception of Plato’s philosophy. I
argue that, in Gadamer’s eyes, Socratic-Platonic self-understanding enables human
beings to be aware of their political responsibilities, to recognize how they are
existentially and mutually related to the other, and to clarify dialectically their own
existential possibilities in order to transcend their inherited world of values. In the
third section, I aim to show how these are the grounds on which Gadamer’s initial
thoughts on the utopian dimension of Platonic political philosophy developed, mainly
through his further critical account of the works on the German “political Plato”
published in Germany between 1927 and 1933, i.e., Kurt Singer’s Platon, der Gründer
(1927), Julius Stenzel’s Platon. Der Erzieher (1928), and Kurt von Hildendrandt‘s Platon,
Der Kampf des Geistes um die Macht (1933). Then, in the fourth section, I will express my
own views on the relevance of reconsidering how the notions of areté, phrónesis, and
andreía are already related in Plato’s dialogues, complementing the insights on
Gadamer’s interpretation of areté in section two. My purpose is to go beyond
Gadamer’s reading and provide us with a more solid ground to address his late
reflections on political courage and its relations with his dialectical understanding of
Platonic utopia as a myth. Therefore, I will explore the problem of civil disobedience,
a topic that was actually not at the centre of Gadamer’s concerns, as a genuine mode
of utopian political action which can enact a true deviation from the sophistic pólis and
its understanding of power. Finally, in the conclusion, I will characterize Gadamer’s
portrait of Platonic utopia as a dialectical myth which enables human beings to
recognize when politics are being reduced to mere power abuse by the State and also
suggest why Gadamer’s approach to utopias is still relevant today
Its central topic was the relationship between poetry, philosophy
and politics in Plato’s thought. Gadamer developed an original
phenomenological investigation on Plato’s ethical-political philosophy
and the role that art played in it, in which the dimension of language
and the meaning of utopia are structural for his arguments. This
article aims, in the first place, to elucidate some political dimensions
of Plato und die Dichter. In order to do this, I will carry out a critical
review of Donatella Di Cesare’s and Dennis Schmidt’s contemporary
readings of these aspects. In the conclusions, after briefly analysing in
the third section the relationship between phrónēsis, aretḗ and andreía
in the Platonic dialogues, I will try to demonstrate how these notions
illuminate the question of the seduction of power (neglected by Schmidt
in his reading of Gadamer’s Plato), as well as the inseparability of this
problem with respect to the dialectical conception of utopia. It will be
suggested that it is possible, from and beyond the Gadamerian reading
of Plato, to rethink the idea of civil disobedience and the political value
of the myth from standpoint of utopia. // Resumen: En 1934 Gadamer pronunció la conferencia Plato und die Dichter,cuyo tema central era la relación entre poesía, filosofía y política en el pensamiento platónico. Allí desarrolló una original investigación fenomenológica sobre la filosofía ético-política de Platón y el lugar que el arte ocupaba en ella, en la que la dimensión del lenguaje y el significado de la utopía son estructurales para sus argumentaciones. El presente artículo se propone, en primer lugar, elucidar algunos aspectos de la dimensión política de Plato und die Dichter. Para ello, se realizará una revisión crítica de las lecturas contemporáneas de estos aspectos por parte de Donatella Di Cesare y Dennis Schmidt. En las conclusiones, tras analizar brevemente en el tercer apartado la relación entre phrónēsis, aretḗ y andreía en los diálogos platónicos, intentaré demostrar cómo estas nociones alumbran la cuestión de la seducción del poder (descuidada por Schmidt en su lectura del Platón gadameriano), así como la inseparabilidad de este problema con respecto a la concepción dialéctica de la utopía. A partir de esto último se sugerirá que es posible, a partir y más allá de la lectura gadameriana de Platón, repensar la idea de “desobediencia civil” y el valor político del mito desde el punto de vista de la utopía.
Resumen: El objetivo de este artículo es presentar y analizar las principales hipótesis de Hans-Georg Gadamer en su libro de 1931 Platos dialektische Ethik. Phänomenologische Interpretationen zum Philebos en relación con las nocio-nes de pólis, aretḗ, tó agathṓn y Dasein. Luego, se intentará demostrar que en este trabajo temprano de Gadamer se formula la primera producción filosófico-política de relevancia del autor, expresada en forma de diálogo crítico con Martin Heidegger, a partir de las nuevas posibilidades interpretativas que la filología y fenomenología le abrieron para el estudio de Platón y su filosofía. Esta obra temprana, además, habría sentado las bases de los futuros desarrollos de la hermenéutica filosófica, en particular, con relación a la caracterización de la estructura dialógico-dialéctica de la comprensión y al vínculo entre éthos, práxis y lógos.
of Gadamer’s theoretical positions in order to elucidate his critical reassessments. In the conclusions, I will make an attempt to deepen on Gadamer’s process of reception, rupture and emancipation around the then-dominant interpretations of Marburg neo-Kantianism, especially on the link between the philosophy of Plato and Aristotle, as well as the transformative character of Gadamer’s approach to the phenomenology of Scheler and Heidegger, and his incursion into classical philology.

Resumen. El presente artículo se propone reconstruir el primer encuentro de Hans-Georg Gadamer con la filosofía de Platón a través de su recorrido académico más temprano, la influencia directa e indirecta ejercida por sus célebres mentores en la Universidad de Marburgo y sus primeras publicaciones. Para ello, se recurrirá no sólo a su biografía intelectual, sino a textos poco analizados hasta el momento, como su tesis doctoral de 1922, publicaciones realizadas durante el período, correspondencia, tanto editada como inédita, entrevistas filosóficas, así como a material de archivo. Se buscará demarcar el papel de sus primeros mentores en torno a Platón a través de la evolución de las posturas teóricas de Gadamer para así elucidar sus reelaboraciones críticas. En las conclusiones, se intentará reponer brevemente el proceso de recepción, ruptura y emancipación de Gadamer en torno a las interpretaciones dominantes del neokantismo marburgués sobre el vínculo entre la filosofía de Platón y Aristóteles, así como sobre el carácter transformador de su acercamiento a la fenomenología de Scheler y Heidegger y de su incursión en la filología clásica.

/-/The following investigation focuses on the article of Hans-Georg Gadamer entitled “Prometheus and Pandora”, originally published in Spanish in 1949, in the book: "Goethe. 1749 – 28th August – 1949", edited by the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the University of Cuyo, Argentina. Firstly, an introduction is offered in which is presented the original historical-intellectual context of its edition, translation, and publication, the philosophical background of the text within Gadamer’s work (conferences and previous articles on the subject), a brief description of the sources and topics encompassed in the text, as well as a series of clarifications on the corrections made for the current critical edition. This essay is one of the first two works by Gadamer that were translated into Spanish and, in turn, one of the first translations of Gadamer's productions into a foreign language.
Abstract:The aim of this paper is to present and analyse the main hypotheses of Hans-Georg Gadamer in Der aristotelische Protreptikos und die entwicklungsgeschichtliche Betrachtung der aristotelischen Ethik (1928), emphasizing the Gadamerian reception of the notions of phrónesis, hedoné and, to a lesser extent, phýsis. It will be attempted to show that in this early work of Gadamer there is more than a methodological and interpretative debate regarding the Protrepticus and the Aristotelian ethics. Lastly, the paper argues that it is possible to read in the main arguments of this early essay the first intellectual maturation of relevance of Gadamer, expressed in the form of a critical dialogue with his great masters (Paul Natorp, Nicolai Hartmann, Martin Heidegger, Paul Friedländer), departing from the new interpretative possibilities that philology and phenomenology opened to his studies on the ethical-political philosophy of Plato and Aristotle. The theoretical consequences of this early article would have both paved the way of Gadamer’s next theoretical interventions regarding Platonic political philosophy as well as for the future developments of philosophical hermeneutics.

Abstract: This article seeks to briefly present the main criticisms elaborated by Karl Löwith and Leo Strauss in their reception of the classic work of Carl Schmitt Der Begriff des Politischen [The Concept of the Political]. It will be explored, in a f irst section, the Löwithian accusation of “atheological occasionalism”, offered, although under a pseudonym, in a text of 1935 whose original title was later replaced by that with which it is currently known: Der okkasionelle Dezisionismus von Carl Schmitt [The Occasional Decisionism of Carl Schmitt]. In the second section, following mainly the reading of Heinrich Meier, I will seek to give an account of the interpretation present in the Anmerkungen zu Carl Schmitt, Der Begriff des Politischen [Comments on Carl Schmitt’s Concept of the Political], the critical notes by Leo Strauss, published in 1932, which suggest understanding the assertion of politics in Schmitt’s work as constitutive for the later Schmittian critique of Thomas Hobbes’ political philosophy. Keywords: political, occasionalism, decision, politcal theoology, liberalism.

Science is Science of Ideology in Louis Althusser
25 years after his death, Louis Althusser’s writings continue to stir up controversy. This article analyzes an issue that aroused criticism during the 1960s, an extremely polemical moment within his intellectual production: the relation between science and ideology. Is it plain opposition? Are science and ideology two clearly differentiated structures? Does science mean the end of ideology? Does science represent the truth and ideology a mere error? The article thoroughly studies Althusser’s publications during the period of the 1960s in order to shed light on his thinking regarding this topic.
Keywords: Science, ideology, historical materialism.
A ciência é ciência da ideologia em Louis Althusser
A 25 anos de sua morte, os escritos de Louis Althusser continuam sendo tanto polémicos e controvertidos quanto o foram no momento de sua publicação. A seguinte pesquisa propõe-se analisar um dos temas que mais controvérsias e críticas suscitou na década dos sessenta, momento por demais polémico dentro de sua produção intelectual: a relação entre a ciência e ideologia: trata-se de uma simples oposição? São a ciência e a ideologia dois estruturas claramente diferenciadas? É acaso a ciência a saída da ideologia? É a ciência a verdade e a ideologia o erro? Através de um estudo pormenorizado dos textos publicados na década assinalada, este trabalho buscará dar conta do pensamento de Althusser em relação com esta temática no marco de seus valiosos aportes ao pensamento marxista.

escritor inglés Gilbert Keith Chesterton desde una perspectiva teórico-política y poner
en tensión aquellos elementos conceptuales que se encuentran enfrentados con algunos de los principales supuestos de la modernidad. La propuesta de este trabajo es organizar estos elementos dispersos y postular la posibilidad de estructurar una filosofía política a partir de una lectura que los integre. Se hará hincapié en su crítica a la idea moderna de progreso, para luego explorar la posibilidad de derivar de las reflexiones del autor un cuerpo conceptual coherente que pueda ser considerado relevante para la teoría política.
Para esta tarea, se toman como punto de partida conceptos centrales para la ciencia
política presentes en sus obras que se encuentran alumbrados por doctrinas teológicas clave dentro del pensamiento cristiano, vector fundamental de sus escritos. Particularmente, se insiste en profundizar en las reflexiones del autor en torno a la democracia, estableciendo una relación específica con sus consideraciones teológicas y políticas.

Este nuevo libro colectivo recoge los trabajos del grupo de investigación de Filosofía de la PUCE, elaborados entre 2019 y 2020. El tema elegido, Tecnología y política, define una de las problemáticas contemporáneas más relevantes dentro del trabajo académico. Como en ocasiones anteriores, cada autor plantea contextos de lectura diversos; los aportes recorren un escenario complejo, resultado de los caminos que cada uno ha elegido para consolidar su propia reflexión a partir de los proyectos de escritura de tesis de posgrado y de investigaciones desarrolladas tanto en universidades europeas como americanas. Sin embargo, el punto de encuentro está dado en la perspectiva y en las condiciones que determinan la posibilidad de proponer un pensamiento crítico y propositivo desde América Latina.
Abstract: This text introduces the first Spanish translation of Hans-Georg Gadamer’s Schönheit [Beauty] (work written in the 1970s and posthumously published in German in 2007) and Odo Marquard’s Schönheit und Bürgerlichkeit [Beauty and Bourgeoisie], published also in 2007 as a delayed response to Gadamer’s views. Gadamer explores the historical development of the concept of beauty in the 19th and 20th centuries, emphasizing that beauty continued and will continue to be not only an aesthetic concept but also a normative concept. For his part, Marquard contextualizes Gadamer’s ideas in their original production framework and performs a critical analysis of them based on his own early contributions to a theory of the “no longer beautiful arts”.
utopian thought and its potential topicality. In the following section, I will show how
areté, understood as a hermeneutical and existential virtue, is dialectically related to
ethics and politics in Gadamer’s phenomenological reception of Plato’s philosophy. I
argue that, in Gadamer’s eyes, Socratic-Platonic self-understanding enables human
beings to be aware of their political responsibilities, to recognize how they are
existentially and mutually related to the other, and to clarify dialectically their own
existential possibilities in order to transcend their inherited world of values. In the
third section, I aim to show how these are the grounds on which Gadamer’s initial
thoughts on the utopian dimension of Platonic political philosophy developed, mainly
through his further critical account of the works on the German “political Plato”
published in Germany between 1927 and 1933, i.e., Kurt Singer’s Platon, der Gründer
(1927), Julius Stenzel’s Platon. Der Erzieher (1928), and Kurt von Hildendrandt‘s Platon,
Der Kampf des Geistes um die Macht (1933). Then, in the fourth section, I will express my
own views on the relevance of reconsidering how the notions of areté, phrónesis, and
andreía are already related in Plato’s dialogues, complementing the insights on
Gadamer’s interpretation of areté in section two. My purpose is to go beyond
Gadamer’s reading and provide us with a more solid ground to address his late
reflections on political courage and its relations with his dialectical understanding of
Platonic utopia as a myth. Therefore, I will explore the problem of civil disobedience,
a topic that was actually not at the centre of Gadamer’s concerns, as a genuine mode
of utopian political action which can enact a true deviation from the sophistic pólis and
its understanding of power. Finally, in the conclusion, I will characterize Gadamer’s
portrait of Platonic utopia as a dialectical myth which enables human beings to
recognize when politics are being reduced to mere power abuse by the State and also
suggest why Gadamer’s approach to utopias is still relevant today
Its central topic was the relationship between poetry, philosophy
and politics in Plato’s thought. Gadamer developed an original
phenomenological investigation on Plato’s ethical-political philosophy
and the role that art played in it, in which the dimension of language
and the meaning of utopia are structural for his arguments. This

In this chapter, I analyze how Gadamer criticizes in his review "Die neue-Platoforschung" [1933] both Stenzel's and Singer's reading of the "political Plato" through his own interpretations of the concepts of paideía and utopia. This Gadamer's early insight is a seminal exercise for his later theoretical developments in texts like Plato und die Dichter [1934] and Platos Staat der Erziehung [1942].
Abstract: Diffused aesthetics is the formula by which the pervasiveness of aesthetic phenomena in the current scenario is summarized: having overcome the long phase of the exclusive dominance of art as the parameter of aesthetic values, contemporaneity has recognized itself in a plurality of practices in which even the non-aesthetic is thought and experienced as aesthetic. The essay aims to probe the theoretical aspects of this process in which material consumption and immaterial consumption converge into a single, everyday and pervasive scenario. This definition of a globalized aesthetics, in which the role of the aesthetic in consumer culture is fully activated, has configured first of all the opposition between the aestheticization and the aesthetics of the everyday, one approach ideological and critic and another more constrained to the aest-hetic experience of the practices of the contemporary life-world.

Pero las épocas de crisis, así como plantean desafíos a las instituciones, también presentan oportunidades para una profundización de la democracia. Este libro busca tender un puente entre los estudios de los movimientos sociales y la teoría democrática. Los movimientos sociales progresistas experimentan con nuevas ideas en su vida interna, prefigurando formas alternativas de política democrática, y difunden estas ideas dentro de las instituciones. No sólo transforman los estados democráticos luchando por el cambio de las políticas, sino que expresan una crítica fundamental del quehacer político convencional, abordando así cuestiones metapolíticas y experimentando con ideas participativas y deliberativas. El libro aborda estas innovaciones que pretenden aumentar la participación y la deliberación para salvar la democracia.
Abstract: Gadamer’s On the Relevance of the Beautiful makes telling reference to musi-cal improvisation and the importance of musical listening in addition to fore-grounding the need for justification. Situating this discussion via Goethe and Plato along with Adorno’s late 1950s lectures on Aesthetics together with a discussion of Nietzsche and antiquity, what is at stake is attunement and a tension which invites a discussion of Carson on the lover’s arrest and Heidegger on tarrying. By reviewing Gadamer’s hermeneutic of musical pro-gramming and performance, including improvisation and the challenge of new music, Gadamer may be read on music culture in the context of social culture and his reflection not only via Plato and Goethe but Hölderlin and Rilke on ‘the beautiful.’ At work is a cultural ‘conversation’ where audience input can be in tension with progressive musical programing along with the dynamic of response emergent in the energeia of improvisation for performer and listener.
il filosofo tedesco, a partire dal noto testo di Weber, si interroga
sulla natura del lavoro scientifico come professione/vocazione e
sul suo legame con la filosofia, che consiste innanzitutto nel nutrire
la conoscenza di passione e slancio creativo, contro gli eccessi di
“burocratizzazione” che rischiano di consegnare la conoscenza
alla ragion di Stato.
exclusively abroad, was to be the last volume of the magazine after its final regular issue in September 1994 (No. 5041). Only in 1947, the text was republished, with the same pagination, in a compilation made by J. J. Weber, Vom Wahren, Schönen, Guten. Aus dem Schatz europäischer Kunst und Kultur [On the True, the Beautiful, the Good. From the Treasury of European Art and Culture]. The publisher was expropriated in 1948, and three years later the company was finally removed from the German commercial registry. “Was ist der Mensch?” has never been released in any of Gadamer’s books or separately published in a journal; it also does not appear within the 10 volumes of his Gesammelte Werke [Collected Works]—the only exception is an Italian translation included in a volume devoted to Gadamer’s views on education and the notion of Bildung (cf. Gadamer 2012). The aim of this translation is to make accessible this Gadamer’s quest for the occidental interpretations of human self-consciousness, which has until now been almost unknown and in which, for the first time, Gadamer shows, from a theoretical standpoint, not only his early—although implicit—keen interest in Max Scheler’s anthropology (particularly Scheler’s considerations on the basic historical types of the occidental man’s self-perception in accordance with the basic and underlying concept of human history that still have a powerful effectiveness in modern times), but also—at the historical threshold of the imminent ending of World War II—his own concern regarding possible philosophical answers to the question: “What is man?” Cf. especially Scheler 1926 (GW 9, 120–144); 1928 (GW 9, 7–71); 1929 (GW 9, 145–170). All commenting annotations to Gadamer’s text are authored by the editor and translator.

Time and scansion: considerations on rhythmical meaning of duration in Husserl and Bachelard
Abstract: Inside phenomenological search, present time and instant live inside a troubled dialectic: for Edmund Husserl present runs, widening out past and future, in the same moment, like the Heraclitean bowstring which stretches between two dimensions. Gaston Bachelard, on the contrary, is the thinker of Discreteness, where temporal continuum is linked to the reciprocal differentiating of instants in the duration. So, the conceptions of time inside these philosophers seem to be opposed one to the other, but inside these two modalities of scansion we meet a steady thread, which underlies both the interpretations, which precipitate one on the other. Let's read the taking shape of the positions inside La dialectique de la durée (1936) and in an early text by Husserl on the subject of attention.

This paper outlines the apocalyptic horizon of the history contained in Heidegger's Black Notebooks. The great theme of Being and Time; being-towards-death, is transferred to history while Heidegger looks towards the end. This is one of the great novelties of the Black Notebooks where the issue of the revolution has always been conceived of in overly metaphysical terms as a simple twist and not as an event, while some interesting reflections on communism emerge.

Este texto de Di Cesare es una exploración inquieta e inquietante. Su indagación no promete al lector dar, al final del recorrido, con una terra incognita que se revelará reconfortantemente segura o con un tesoro hundido en las profundidades abisales del pasado, sino que se mueve en prodigiosos meandros que aguardan aun, en cada una de sus discontinuidades, una chispa de redención metafísico-política.

En este trabajo se pretende establecer la relación entre los conceptos de “república” y “conflicto” en la reflexión política de Montesquieu. Siguiendo algunos aportes que ha propuesto Claude Lefort para la lectura de Maquiavelo, buscamos interrogar obras eminentes de Montesquieu en los que ha analizado tanto el aspecto histórico de las repúblicas como la específica relación entre este régimen y su principio de gobierno. Se propone aquí que Montesquieu ha recurrido a interpretar directa e indirectamente la división de la Ciudad como una forma regulada de antagonismo capaz de albergar a la comunidad mediante su exteriorización en el conflicto.
Abstract:
This paper aims to establish the relationship between the concepts of "republic" and "conflict" in the political thought of Montesquieu. Following some contributions Claude Lefort made for reading Machiavelli, we examine outstanding works of Montesquieu in which has analyzed both the historical aspect of the republics and the specific relationship between this regime and its principle of government. It is argued in this paper that Montesquieu has directly and indirectly understood the division of the City as a regulated form of antagonism able to contain the community through their own externalization in the conflict.
