This article defends that according to Descartes there are two kinds of sensorial perception. One that operates on impulse, confusing properties of the physical things with our ideas of them; and another one that proceeds by deduction and distinguishes between those properties of physical things that have an adequate representation in our ideas and the properties that do not.

The international system is in a period of transition, marked by a weakening of multilateralism, challenges to the liberal order and the consolidation of new global leaderships. In addition, various cross-border crises, like the COVID-19 pandemic, have compounded the effects of these changes at a regional level. Given this context, what room is there for regional cooperation in Latin America? As a tool for regional coordination and integration into international flows and dynamics, regionalism can boast achievements, but challenges remain. In analytical terms, this paper proposes an approach that enables an examination of the combination of interests, ideas and institutions at play on a regional level in Latin America. The central argument is that the changing dynamics of regionalism are a product of the way in which states' interests interact with ideas about the region in a specific institutional environment over time.

In order to understand the interactions among the engaged actors regarding water management in the city of San Miguel de Allende, in Guanajuato, the involved frameworks of perception and government institutions were subject to analysis. Having a qualitative research approach as a starting point, the analytical framework of the public policy regime was used, focusing on three variables: actors, institutions and ideas. As a methodological strategy, in-depth interviews were conducted, and the institutional grammar methodology was implemented. It was found that there is a lenient regulation, an institutional framework that does not favor robust governance, and conflicts that arise because of the water supply shortage in the city that do not achieve political attention due to the dispersion of environmental issues and the lack of mechanisms for citizen participation.

The central question that guides this work is: How did the Inter-American Development Bank (idb) support a political neoliberal model in South America between 1990 and 2017? To respond, the interaction between the idb and this model is examined. Therefore, some assertions of it are reviewed, which are linked with the model in the region. Furthermore, the interaction with the Peruvian model is particularly addressed. Thus, it is possible to appreciate some concrete actions performed to consolidate it. The mentioned interaction is usually associated with the development and financing development concepts, which in this work are addressed from an approach of critical international political economy. This enables us to comprehend the conjugation of ideas, material capabilities, and power in the scope of providing financing under development labels. In addition, it reveals the employment of the development financing image for concealing actions to support a certain political model. Likewise, this support implies the contribution to sustaining the established structure of power relations. The idb has performed such actions by linking the political and economic, domestic and international spheres, through projecting ideas and providing material capabilities (financing) to its borrowers.

In this article we analyze the Argentinian drug policy in relation to the possession of illicit substances for personal use. To do so, we articulate ideational theory with the perspective of moral public policy. The aim is to show how the ideas formed by the Argentinian leadership in the 1970s when the drug problem entered the legislative agenda have endured throughout the development of drug policy. We examine the processes that resulted in drug laws 20771 and 23737, using transcripts of the debates in Congress, interviews conducted by the author and secondary sources. Finally, we analyze the failed attempt for the depenalization of drugs possession in 2012 and the ideas that recent presidents have had about this problem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Researchers in ecology try to develop projects based on novel ideas, but, as good human beings we are, we have a limited capacity for creativity. Therefore, it is usual for us, during our academic life, to generate only few really original ideas. Knowing how original ideas arise becomes vital. If we are at the beginning of our academic life, it will facilitate the development of our first independent projects; and if we are at the end of our career, it may lengthen the creative stage of our professional life. In this essay, I will first describe some suggestions to stimulate the generation of original projects in ecology, detailing the context where they were conceived. Finally, I will propose an integrative conceptual framework whose use may favor the occurrence of original ideas. Based on detailed personal experiences in the text, I identify three key aspects that may stimulate the generation of creativity: nonconformity with dominant ideas, the existence of setbacks and attention to the atypical. Extreme levels of these aspects are counterproductive. Minimal dosages of nonconformity, setbacks, or attention to the outliers undermine creativity because they stimulate conformity, comfort, and focus only on the rule. But too high levels also limit the generation of original ideas because it limit an integrative vision, causes exasperation and prevents us from seeing the phenomenon context. Consequently, I consider that the generation of original ideas is maximized with intermediate levels of nonconformity, setbacks and attention to the atypical. To stimulate ecology projects based on original ideas, I suggest having some level of nonconformity about the dominant ideas, considering small setbacks as opportunities and paying attention to the atypical without neglecting the context where they come from.

The present article aims to analyse the historical level and the repercussion of the ideas that the theatre of the Norwegian author Henrik Ibsen had, observing the censorship that took place at various times from the publication and performance of the works to the present day. Since the 19th century, Ibsen's theatre has been questioned, many times silenced because it is a theatre with prolific ideas, of liberation, emancipation, empathy and which seeks to give meaning to the human being from a psychological point of view. This has doubtlessly caused conflicts of interest, although the importance of his theatre and the legacy inherited by this playwright and thinker remain very important to our contemporaneity.

This paper outlines the ontology of problems in Deleuze's magnum opus, Difference and Repetition (1968). By ontology of problems I refer to the conceptualization of problems as a fundamentally ontological--not epistemological--subject. This problematic-being is the object of Ideas, which are at the core of Deleuzian ontology, as shown in the actualization of the virtual and its four aspects: differentiation [différentiation], individuation, dramatization, and differentiation [différenciation]. For this reason, a deeper comprehension of the ontology of problems serves as the most adequate prelude for a sound approach to all of Deleuzian ontology. In addition, this article highlights the philosophical and scientific sources upon which Deleuze draws in order to build his ontology of problems. Of special note are his references to several metaphysicians of differential calculus (Bordas-Demoulin, Maïmon, Hoëne-Wronski) and prominent mathematicians (Carnot, Abel, Galois, Riemann, Lautman) of the 19th and 20th centuries.

In A Treatise of Human Nature, David Hume's understanding knowledge as a system identifies three aspects: firstly, knowledge implies moving away from the idea of substance and abstract general ideas. Secondly, knowledge comprises the connection between impressions and ideas. The relation between our impressions and ideas arises from the principle of association which orders and reconfigures knowledge by virtue of the attraction, which is a connection articulated by the faculties of memory and imagination. Thirdly, knowledge is a system consisting of the repetition of habits and costumes configured by the principle of association from the integrated relation of impressions and ideas.

This paper examines different ideas about old age and aging that emerged in Europe during the nineteenth century and that circulated in different latitudes until they reached Mexico, where some doctors, medical students and hygienists were concerned about this stage of life (old age) and its associated biological process (aging). This article highlights that the scientific study of old age and aging not only came from abroad, but was nourished by thoughts of Mexican specialists who shared their findings in magazines and hygiene manuals, which, despite not being available to all the society at the time, are considered as the first efforts to make the subject visible.

Berkeley's immaterialist philosophy has been frequently underestimated as a result of the misunderstanding of his ontological proposal, specifically because of the complexity of his concept of idea. The aim of this paper is then to clarify and explain that concept because from it depends the correct understanding of Berkeley's ontological and immaterialist proposal. To do this, 1) I will show some examples of the misunderstanding that the berkeleian proposal has had, mainly due to his concept of idea; 2) I will track how this notion was being developed in Berkeley's early notes, known as Philosophical Commentaries; 3) I will analyze and explain the concept of idea from the published work of Berkeley, that is, from the Principles and Dialogues.

This paper analyzes the final stage of Import Substitution Industrialization in Argentina, which took place between 1960 and 1975. We present, on the one hand, the gains and structural constraints of this process and, on the other, we retrieve some economic policy ideas and definitions that sought to address these constraints. In the first case, we highlight the positive evolution of some aspects (such as manufacture exports, changes in the internal composition of the sector and the development of large projects in basic industry) that inform about the maturation of the industrial process. Regarding the ideas, we analyze how the intellectual contributions and debates reveal a relative consensus around the need to strengthen the industrial presence in external markets and thus overcome the traditional substitution strategy identified with the original proposals of the Economic Commission for Latin America (ECLAC).

Facing the rise of new processes and rules for the governance of international trade promoted by advanced economies, the emerging and developing countries (edc) diverge in their level of engagement with these rules, thus producing different outcomes in terms of their access to major markets and for the preservation of their policy space. The article suggests that ideas about economic development contribute to the understanding of this variation. This is due to the inclusion of "trade-related" rules, which produce uncertainty among edc policymakers. It is argued that ideas, as general frameworks of thinking, help overcome this uncertainty by assigning meaning to the proposed contents. The article seeks to explain the case of Uruguaýs withdrawal from the Trade in Services Agreement negotiations. The theoretical argument is better able to explain the positioning of the main fractions of the governing party, and therefore the decision taken, compared to rival explanations based on the logic of interest representation and the aggregation of interests produced by electoral institutions.

This paper seeks to demonstrate the weight of Husserl's phenomenology and of a specific epistemological position that is not explicit in the current work of the Latin American social sciences. In some of its currents, this task starts from erroneous positions on the Latin American colonial historical heritage and does not allow capturing the singularity of the region, which passes through the heritage of religion and not that of Cartesianism. Given that this phenomenology privileges the experience, situated between empiricism and formalism, it lends itself, together with the absence of praxis in "knowledge", for a form of commodification of science in a world in which the "market" also calls to consume experiences.

In this article, I posit that the intellectual and political history of the left in contemporary India must be understood in relation to the dialectical relationship developed between the ideals behind left -wing political thought and the nativist inclinations of the nationalist anticolonial project in British India. I aim to show that left -wing thought in India, in the years in which the shock-wave of the Soviet Revolution spread through the world, developed at a disadvantage in relationship to the symbolic and ideological project headed by Gandhi, which promoted a nativist approach to nationalism and anticolonial politics.

The socio-educational inclusion of students with disabilities in higher education has begun to be a subject of research in recent years. In this work we analyze the situation of inclusion in the Public University of Navarra (UPNa) from the perspective of those who study degrees in Humanities and Social Sciences, Economics and Law, since the majority of students with disabilities usually study these university degrees. In collaboration with the Social Action Section and the teaching staff, relevant information has been obtained through a survey about what ideas and attitudes the UPNa students have towards their peers with disabilities.

If we wish to be successful we must create our own way. Following the same traces as those before us did it is not enough because success does not come accidentally. The managers proceed in order to discover the lesson they must learn from previous stories and some may try to go „in reverse" by striving to discover how the final product or the result was designed and projected. Successful companies do not reach success by implementing any abstract principle but get in top by high levels of reasoning and through a guided process that asks for some principles. Rewards come no doubt as in the case of so many iconic figures and like them we need persistence, passion, honesty, transparency, to be open and ethical. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Diffusion theories have paid little attention to the dissemination of political institutions, so far. Moreover, they have offered better explanations of processes of adoption than adaptation ones. The creation of political institutions in Latin America after the wars of independence provides an excellent opportunity for theory-building while correcting these biases. The USA presidential model was adopted by Latin American countries during the xix century, but with certain adaptations, in the sense that the "copies" had fundamental differences from the original paradigm. Latin American presidentialism grants the president a significantly greater role in the dynamics of government than the American one. Ideational factors explain not only the initial choice for presidentialism; but they also contribute to explaining the meaning and intensity of the deep mutation experienced by the Philadelphia model.

According to Aquinas, formally speaking, the divine exemplarity depends on ideas existing in the mind of Cod. However, to interpret this statement within the context of Trinitarian monotheism requires consideration of the exemplary condition of both the divine essence and the personal Logos. It is necessary, therefore, to reflect on two pairings simultaneously: essenceideas and Logos-ideas. The first is clarified by studying divine knowledge, the other by analysing the manifestation of creatures through the divine Word. This paper explores these two sets of ideas independently and in relation to one another in order to show their harmonic convergence in the Thomistic maxim: Deus est primum exemplar omnium.

In the Transcendental Dialectic of the Critique of Pure Reason (KrV), whose task is to attain a critique of transcendental semblance (transzendentaler Schein), Kant refers to such semblance by the term "Illusion" (illusion). While in the literature on the KrV it has been considered that the sense of this term must be identified with the sense of the term ―semblance‖ (Schein), in this paper I argue that this identification is illegitimate. Although the term semblance is used to indicate merely subjective representations that are assumed to be objective, the term illusion denotes a specific kind of semblance that it is distinguishes from deception, and it turns out to have, in some cases, a useful purpose. Then, from this distinction, I aim to prove that this concept is a valuable interpretive key to clarify the concept of transcendental semblance (transzendentaler Schein), which is critically examined in the context of the Transcendental Dialectic of the KrV.

The territory 'Meio Oeste Contestado', located in Santa Catarina, Brazil, was created in 2003, after the implementation of the rural territorial development policy of the government of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (2003-2010). This article analyzes how social and political relations were established and administered in the territory; how the disputes between different actors and interests were dealt with; the ideas and interpretations that were at stake; and what territorial rules and regulations were established for the negotiation and conciliation between the different social actors. In general, we observe that the ideas that the territorial actors have about public policies for rural territorial development differ from those of the federal government. The main interest of the different actors in the territority is to raise more financial resources for the local organizations and municipalities in the territory due to the fragile nature of the different territorial institutions.

This paper aims to put in paralel both the initial sketches and the application of diagrams in the architectural process of design, analizing the characteristics of the initial moment of design. Both diagrams and sketches are part of the strategic and graphic heritage of architecture. The developments of parametrical designs from diagrams have suposed a qualitative improvement in the contemporary architectural imaginary. The purpose is to contrast the qualities between these two elements, that is, initial sketches and diagrams, in order to establish similarities and differences between them comprehensively enough to know their dimensión and effect on the contemporay Architectural Graphic Expression, which is never outside of the idelogical debates that take place on this respect and which always involve graphic consequences.

Ideas and discourses are back. During the last two decades, scholars frequently have argued that they are key variables in explaining political change. Despite his intense and well known "Americanization", Latin American political science has not had a similar ideational turn. In this context, discursive institutionalism, the latest of the "new institutionalisms", must play an important role. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

José Celestino Mutis y Bosio is considered one of the most notable sages to arrive from the Iberian Peninsula to New Granada in colonial times. He was devoted to medicine, the diffusion of useful sciences, Illustration, and the study of flora and fauna of the country. These practices were reflected in his work in education. He boosted educational ideas from the Age of Enlightenment that aimed at overcoming educational backwardness prevalent in New Granada, due to an educational system based on Scholasticism, which did not allow the development of sciences. The Enlightened educational ideas of Mutis proposed the study of mathematics, chemistry and medicine in the colonial academic environment. These ideas are denoted in the works of the Botanic Expedition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
