Sinopsis

Here is Ayn Rand's first non-fiction work--a challenge to the prevalent philosophical doctrines of our time and the "atmosphere of guilt, of panic, of despair, of boredom, and of all-pervasive evasion" that they create.

As incisive and relevant today as it was sixty years ago, this book presents the essentials of Ayn Rand's philosophy "for those who wish to acquire an integrated view of existence." In the title essay, she offers an analysis of Western culture, discusses the causes of its progress, its decline, its present bankruptcy, and points the road to an intellectual renaissance.

One of the most controversial figures on the intellectual scene, Ayn Rand was the proponent of a moral philosophy--and ethic of rational self-interest--that stands in sharp opposition to the ethics of altruism and self-sacrifice. The fundamentals of this morality--a philosophy for living on Earth--are here vibrantly set forth by the spokesman for a new class, For the New Intellectual.

  • Pensamiento chino, El
    Echavarren, Roberto
    Mi propósito es considerar la etapa creadora y original del pensamiento chino, vale decir, la época de su desarrollo intelectual autóctono (770-221 a. C.) previo a la irrupción del budismo en China (a partir del siglo I d. C.). Los tres pensadores que presento, Confucio, Chuang Tse, Mozi, forman un extraño triángulo, Confucio en el vértice y los otros dos contrapuestos entre sí...

    Bojanic, Petar
    Este libro ofrece una lectura de la relación entre violencia y mesianismo, en un recorrido que pasa por la lectura atenta y traducción de diversos textos de Hegel, Rosenzweig, Levinas, o Walter Benjamin. El punto de partida es la sugerencia derridiana de una mesianicidad sin mesianismo, y la meta dar respuesta a la pregunta sobre la relación entre la violencia y la instituciona...

  • Tener un alma
    Souriau, Étienne
    Ya nadie habla del alma en la filosofía. Quedó reservada para literatos y poetas. Denunciaron su origen mítico, pájaro con cabeza humana, lluvia de partículas. La acusaron de despreciar al cuerpo. La aplastaron el positivismo y ese yo homogéneo e impersonal de las filosofías de la conciencia. La psicología la redujo a un conjunto de mecanismos psíquicos. ¿Pero cómo dar cuenta d...
