Item type:Publication, Human virtuality and digital life: philosophical and psychoanalytic investigations(Taylor and Francis Inc., 2021-01-01)This book is a psychoanalytic and philosophical exploration of how the digital is transforming our perception of the world and our understanding of ourselves. Drawing on examples from everyday life, myth, and popular culture, this book argues that virtual reality is only the latest instantiation of the phenomenon of the virtual, which is intrinsic to human being. It illuminates what is at stake in our understanding of the relationship between the virtual and the real, showing how our present technologies both enhance and diminish our psychological lives. The authors claim that technology is a pharmakon - at the same time both a remedy and a poison - and in their writing exemplify a method that overcomes the polarization that compels us to regard it either as a liberating force or a dangerous threat in human life. The digital revolution challenges us to reckon with the implications of what is being called our posthuman condition, leaving behind our modern conception of the world as constituted by atemporal essences and reconceiving it instead as one of processes and change. The book's postscript considers the sudden plunge into the virtual effected by the 2020 global pandemic. Accessible and wide-reaching, this book will appeal not only to psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, and philosophers, but anyone interested in the ways virtuality and the digital are transforming our contemporary lives. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The finer weapon: Cavell, philosophy, and praise(Cambridge University Press, 2022-03-10)Instead of taking the impossibility of certain knowledge in experience as an intellectual problem, Cavell understands it as an existential condition. Philosophers have traditionally disavowed that condition by turning skepticism into an intellectual problem. The pathology behind that disavowal becomes the center of what Krebs calls Cavell's "clinical turn." The philosophical criticism resulting from that turn involves a radical change in attitude, where thinking is - as Cavell puts it - a mode of praise. This essay argues that thinking as praise makes receptiveness paramount, and requires a reconnection with feeling and passion that brings the body back into philosophy. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Comentario a Silvia Faustino(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2009)El texto sobre el que se ha concentrado Silvia Faustino, a pesar de estar armado de reflexiones en su mayor parte de la década de 1930 —es decir, de lo que se considera el período intermedio o transicional de Wittgenstein—, nos ofrece una visión bastante completa de su concepción madura de la filosofía. Hay literalmente párrafos enteros recopilados en este escrito que luego serán diseminados por las Investigaciones filosóficas y otros textos posteriores. Se podría decir que su importancia radica en que da pie a ciertas precisiones, como las que desarrolla Faustino, que a mi parecer nos permiten darle un sentido más completo al carácter terapéutico de los textos wittgensteinianos del que se le da en las lecturas convencionales de su pensamiento. Me refiero específicamente a aquellas interpretaciones que proponen que la filosofía de Wittgenstein nos presenta una metodología de análisis lingüístico capaz de liberarnos de nuestra confusión conceptual, pero que prescinden de lo que a mi parecer es lo más importante en la filosofía de Wittgenstein, a saber, la preocupación ética, espiritual o existencial que la informa1 . - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, ¿Por qué leer a Wittgenstein hoy?(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2007)Lo que voy a desarrollar aquí, por lo tanto, es una especie de retrato de lo que yo veo como la contribución de Wittgenstein. He escogido un par de rasgos y los he trazado de manera tal que se muestren sus contornos y se sugieran sus texturas, pero no pretendo defender aquí las afirmaciones que hago. Simplemente las ofrezco como señales de camino que indican algunos de los momentos del pensamiento de Wittgenstein que me parecen de valor para lo que estamos viviendo en nuestra época.2
