The concepts of "appearance" and "reality" (in the title of the book) is a safe-conduct permitting the author to carry out a true X-ray analysis of a thought--that we commonly call "Greek philosophy"--which acknowledges that we live in a world that could be better, which assumes that anyone who wants to improve his life must aspire to certain ideals. This eminently ethical perspective appears in the section about Socratism and Plato. And perhaps unwillingly the author states the necessity to weaken, and even suppress, the so commented "separation" (khôrismós) between the intelligible and the sensible word, between epistéme and aísthesis. A detailed analysis of Plato's Sophist would enrich Boeri's thesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We outline an analysis of various aspects relevant to education along the philosophical lines of Alasdair MacIntyre. He himself has spoken about it, recognizing that his own work has «important implications for moral education and indeed for education in general». The relevance of MacIntyre's philosophy in the field of education, even without confronting this topic directly and systematically, has received certain attention. However, with the publication of Dependent Rational Animals in 1999, its educational aspects have come to have greater prominence: it expounds ideas with direct educational consequences. The interest of many authors in MacIntyre's thoughts on education has been growing since then. We expound some topics with educational implications: the transformation of desires, the importance of the notion of practice, narrativity, the concept of dependence, and the rationality of actions. In MacIntyre we distinguish four phases in the development of virtues, from the earliest infancy to the reflexive assumption of the virtues of the acknowledgment of dependence. These are phases open to changes, and even the possibility of retrogression. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Se presenta una reflexión filosófica del autor acerca de la racionalidad y las metas ideales. El autor presenta una serie de críticas a las propuestas de los filósofos Robert Nozick y Larry Laudan acerca de la irracionalidad y las metas no alcanzables y utópicas. Cuestiona la descalificación de las metas ideales y comenta sobre la resignación y el conformismo en la perspectiva de Nozick y Laudan.

The article discusses the argument given by philosopher Immanuel Kant to support his view that it is a duty of right to exit the state of nature and to enter a civil state. Also, the paper presents a contemporary discussion on the relationship between this duty of right and the duty of virtue. The discussion is full of implications particularly the view of the Kantian. It challenges the conventional account instead of a state designed to protect individual property rights that are existing.

El artículo habla sobre el mal espíritu dentro de nuestras vidas y las maneras en que se trata de enredarnos y engañarnos. También va a hablar de las maneras en que, según Ignacio de Loyola, el buen espíritu ayuda para aclarar y mostrar el camino para una vida mejor. Este tema ha vuelto a ser de moda quizá por la falta de distinción entre lo bueno y lo malo en estas décadas. Lo importante es analizar lo que vale más y preguntar cuales valores son más importantes para un ser humano.
