Book Description
Colección Tradición"La Tradición Primordial es el Eje inmutable que refleja en nuestro mundo la Verdad Eterna".René Guénon.René Guénon (1886-1951) ha dejado una obra considerable que abarca diecisiete obras publicadas en vida y centenares de artículos y recensiones en diversas revistas, entre otras en la revista católica Regnabit y en Etudes Traditionnelles (anteriormente Le Voile d'/sis) de la cual él fue el inspirador desde 1929. La finalidad el autor al escribir este libro, inédito en castellano y publicado por vez primera en 1946, fue principalmente restituir a ciertas nociones matemáticas su verdadero sentido metafísico, olvidado por los matemáticos actuales, como por lo demás es el caso de diversas ciencias actuales: química, física, etc., las cuales, habiendo perdido el contacto con los principios, se han desarrollado anárquica e independientemente. Entre otras cosas, se restituye aquí su auténtico alcance metafísico a la noción de Infinito, negando la noción moderna del pretendido "infinito matemático". El autor se ocupó también del cálculo infinitesimal en sus artículos "Observaciones sobre la producción de los números" y "Observaciones sobre la notación matemática", posteriormente reunidos en la recopilación "Mélanges", de próxima publicación en esta Editorial, así como en el segundo capítulo de la primera parte de Oriente y Occidente.

ISBN: 9781556434747
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
Acclaimed theorist and social scientist Donna Jeanne Haraway uses the work of pioneering developmental biologists Ross G. Harrison, Joseph Needham, and Paul Weiss as a springboard for a discussion about a shift in developmental biology from a vitalism-mechanism framework to organicism. The book deftly interweaves Thomas Kuhn's concept of paradigm change into this wide-ranging analysis, emphasizing the role of model, analogy, and metaphor in the paradigm and arguing that any truly useful theoretical system in biology must have a central metaphor.

Body Politics in Development
Author: Wendy Harcourt
Publisher: Zed Books Ltd.
ISBN: 1848136188
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
Body Politics in Development sets out to define body politics as a key political and mobilizing force for human rights in the last two decades. This passionate and engaging book reveals how once-tabooed issues, such as rape, gender-based violence, and sexual and reproductive rights, have emerged into the public arena as critical grounds of contention and struggle. Engaging in the latest feminist thinking and action, the book describes the struggles around body politics for people living in economic and socially vulnerable communities and covers a broad range of gender and development issues, including fundamentalism, sexualities and new technologies, from diverse viewpoints. The book's originality comes through the author's rich experience and engagement in feminist activism and global body politics and was winner of the 2010 FWSA Book Prize.

How to Be a Marxist in Philosophy
Author: Louis Althusser
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1474280552
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
In How to Be a Marxist in Philosophy one of the most famous Marxist philosophers of the 20th century shares his concept of what it means to function fruitfully as a political thinker within the discipline and environs of philosophy. This is the first English translation to Althusser's provocative and, often, controversial guide to being a true Marxist philosopher. Althusser argues that philosophy needs Marxism. It can't exist fully without it. Similarly, Marxism requires the rigour and structures of philosophy to give it form and focus. He calls all thinking people to, 'Remember: a philosopher is a man who fights in theory, and when he understands the reasons for this fight, he joined the ranks of the struggle of workers and popular classes.' In short, this book comprises Althusser's elucidation of what praxis means and why it continues to matter. With a superb introduction from translator and Althusser archivist G.M. Goshgarian, this is a book that will re-inspire contemporary Marxist thought and reinvigorate our notions of what political activism can be.
