This paper analyzes Maurizio Ferraris's "minimal realism" with the aim of showing that his criticisms of correlationism and constructivism are not convincing. Ferraris preserves both a substantivist vision of the objects of knowledge and a substantial difference between sensible things and concepts. These two issues prevent his Manifesto of New Realism from being considered the founding moment of the "new realism." The paper concludes with a reflection on those aspects that should be considered and avoided when proposing a philosophical realism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The development of international relations (IR) is relatively recent compared to other disciplines of the social sciences. Although there has been an advance in terms of theoretical and methodological debates, after its incorporation as a scientific discipline post Second World War, several questions remain. In this text some of its main milestones are briefly discussed: the idea of an international society with the consequent expansion of the level and units of analysis beyond the State. Also the inclusion of approaches to international political economy (EPI) and constructivism that, on the one hand, challenge the strict separation of the domestic-international, and, on the other, the absolute objectivity. In the same way, the particularities and contributions from Latin America to the discipline are highlighted. In this sense, the relevance of representing the diversity of paradigms and societies outside the United States and Europe is argued. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper seeks to show that, in the Science of Logic Hegel, through the category of "subjective end", distinguishes a purely instrumental dimension of the activity of concept. After delineating a general interpretation of the Doctrine of Concept, key aspects of the chapter dedicated of Teleology are re-constructed with the aim of detecting both the fundamental features and the limitations of this purely instrumental dimension of the concept. It is concluded that, in the chapter, it is possible to verify a 'logic of the instrumentally activity' and from this standpoint, to interpret the systematic position of the chapter. In addition, critical features of the Hegelian analysis are emphasized in regard to the general problem of mechanization and wear of the world and life, which projects the problem to the transit from chapter on Teleology to the Idea section.

This work is part of the contemporary debate on corporality, from the perspective of queer constructivism, and on the other, to the studies of sexual difference. These two theoretical optics bet on a clearly antagonistic corporality, since from queer constructivism the body is thought of as the moles where subjectivity occurs metaphorizing it as a battlefield where multiple forces intervene that end up being equivalent to subjectivity. On the other hand, from the studies of sexual difference, especially the Ljubljana School, the body is always a sexed body, the limit of all omnipotent pretense and fissure that causes the impossibility of a total language. The main theoretical edges of both conceptions will be addressed, as well as the consequences of the corporality dispute. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Queer theories emerge from postmodern nominalist constructivism under the assumption that all things are discursive fictions, all ontology, a substantialist and dualistic narrative, and there is nothing real outside of socio-linguistic constructions and deconstructions. In the case of sexual difference, queer theories assimilate it to the hetero-normative signifiers of the old bio-political regime, and consequently abolished it by means of an ideological operative that brings us today to a post-feminism without women, where the speaking subjects arbitrarily techno-produce their bodies and sexualities. Assuming some philosophical assumptions of new material realisms, the present article aims at making visible the hidden essentialism of postmodern constructivism, its barely disguised femino-phobia and the effective violence--symbolic and non-symbolic-- that it implies for actual women, and feminist agenda.

Ontic Structural Realism (OSR) states that a realistic reading of scientific theories (especially of modern physics) requires to take structures as ontologically fundamental. Regardless of how this commitment is articulated, OSR proponents agree that the appropriate framework for developing such a position is the semantic approach to theories. I argue that, at least in aspects relevant to the formulation of OSR, the semantic approach is not superior to the syntactic one. I also show that the Received View has the necessary conceptual resources to adequately express the metaphysical commitments of OSR. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper I analyze the main arguments and counterarguments proposed by realists and anti-realists stances for and against the scientific ability to produce objective and true scientific knowledge about the social and natural world. I argue that the theoretical and observational language which social and natural scientists use to refer to several scientific observable and unobservable entities, phenomena, properties and processes are determined, in practice, by their theoretical research traditions. This shows that scientific methodology depends so heavily on scientific theories that is, at most, a constructive procedure and not a discovery procedure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Junior Masferrer, fictional character, grandson of salvadoran Alberto Masferrer recounts a conversation he had with Nussbaum Sen, another fictional character that reflects the thinking of the american philosopher Nussbaum and economist Sen, around a topical issue in Colombia: death by starvation some children in Colombia and in general the lack of a shared food and minimum vital for all the families of our nation. Consequently the article briefly reflects on his life and updates in one synthesis, the proposal of that salvadoran citizen about vital minimum. Such dialogues figurative reference to develop from a focus hermeneutical constructivist approach. Our conclusion is delivered thus: It is necessary the misery of a percentage of the population for a Latin American nation like Colombia continue growing? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The processes of globalization and regionalization worldwide require new forms of regulation, which must overcome, coordinate and organize the current institutional normative structures characteristic of modernity. The present work is an epistemological essay, based on Jean Piaget, that proposes the need to extend the current normative structures, namely moving from an institutional modern stage to a postmodern systemic stage. This proposal is based, first, on the existence of sociocognitive stages that determine the essential characteristics of any social structure of regulation. Second, the proposal is based on the global construction of a new stage of sociocognitive regulatory structures: the constructivist-systemic stage. Third, the approach predicts the emergence of a new state structure with a systemic character: the International-State. This new structure of systemic governance would only be able to arise on the basis of the institutional normation structures of the current nation-state. The neopiagetian methodological analysis - with dialectical character - that this article exposes aims to demonstrate the mentioned sociocognitive thesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this work, through a review of the debate carried out between Michel Lynch and David Bloor in 1992, as well as a re-reading of Peter Winch's work ''Understanding a primitive society'' (1964), I will argue that the processes of demystification of the knowledge that took place in the past decades shows a positive proposal. This consists in the possibility of offering a critical focus that would permit the social studies of science and technology to transcend their descriptivist limits. It makes possible that, even accepting that the epistemic practices are culturally dependent, that they are invaluable in the light of other cultures. [TRANSLATION]

In the xxi century, states that provide a leading role to cultural diplomacy in their foreign affairs policy perform well in building assertive international relations. The growing wave of diverse/successful international experiences, that positively influence international scenarios, has powerful theoretical underpinnings in stages and schools of International Relations (ir). This article provides an ingenious approach to ir, showing that culture plays diverse roles and how outstanding theorists have addressed culture in their proposals. In addition, this academic effort outlines a possible bridge and inter-theoretical dialogue between Alexander Wendt's constructivism and the soft power of Joseph Nye, focusing on cultural diplomacy. With this challenge, it aims to contribute in both: reducing gaps between reality and theory in the art of diplomacy, and expanding possibilities for states to increase their power and/or insertion in the international system.

Some authors sustain that historical research is an effect of a specific historiographical context (Jenkins, 1991; González de Oleaga, 2009). An approach to the historiographical debate between constructivism and recontructivism is presented in this paper. Two theses are here defended. The first one affirms that the above mentioned debate is deeply related to epistemological questions (study of mental representations, different conceptions about historical reasoning functions, historical reasoning, cognitive bias, and informal falacies). The second thesis affirms that each historiographical conception can be understood as the effect of assuming a specific perspective about these epistemic questions. As an evidence of this, some connections between historiography and epistemology will be analysed through the analogy between the reconstructivism vs. constructivism debate, and the epistemological debate detectivism vs. constitutivism (Finkelstein, 2003). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to analyze the theoretical methodological perspectives of postmodernism as a tendency of comparative politics. Although postmodernists frequently reject some of the points of behavioral approaching, the psychological politics tend to embrace them. In this analysis it is suggested that you must be careful when elements are attributed to postmodernism which is far beyond being a monolithic discipline, because it contains different areas of interest, such as poststructuralism. Postmodernity questions the legitimacy of the development achieved by modernity and the universality of its values and processes, the economics reductionism, its ethnocentric focus and its unidimensional interpretation.
