Two key elements are highlighted: the modern idea of history and the role of the visual arts in response to the expressive limitations of language.

Heidegger and the open:The interpretation of poetry

Juan Esteban Londoño — Thu, 03 Jul 2025 00:00:00 -0300

This paper explores Heidegger’s hermeneutical foundations for the interpretation of poetry. It highlights his approach as a dialogue with the works of poets such as Hölderlin, Rilke, Trakl and George. According to Heidegger, poetry should not be seen only as a product of the author, but as a space open to new interpretations and meanings. The way in which Heidegger enters as an interpreter from poetry is analyzed, putting into play his theories, as he values the potential of poetry as a work of art.

Political Feuerbach: an ontology of community through the prism of the Christian doctrine of the Trinity

Ezequiel Burstein — Thu, 03 Jul 2025 00:00:00 -0300

In 1842, Ludwig Feuerbach raised the question concerning the necessity of a reform (Notwendigkeit einer Veränderung) of philosophy, and how it should take place. These considerations led to his famous statement on the necessity of a new, human-centered way to be religious, where politics would assume a foundational role. In order to clarify the meaning of this position, we will take a step back towards Das Wesen des Christentums (1841), to analyze his reading of the Christian dogma of the Trinity. We will seek to identify the elements that allow us to better understand the sense and the scope of a reform of philosophy that claims to be “political”, rooted on man’s communal nature, as the young Feuerbach from Gedanken über Tod und Unsterblichkeit stated: “Sein ist Gemeinschaft”: being is community.

En el actual escenario político argentino, el campo simbólico de la palabra se debate entre un modelo de exclusión y violencia, que convierte al otro en objeto de agresión y escarnio, y un modelo que reprueba la degradación moral y física de las personas. En este contexto, tanto la educación pública como la investigación científica han atravesado un año de emergencia económico-financiera impuesta por las políticas de desfinanciamiento aplicadas por el gobierno nacional. Estas políticas han impedido el normal desarrollo de las actividades de docencia e investigación tendientes al sostenimiento de una sociedad inclusiva y una ciencia soberana. A pesar de ello, intentamos resistir sus consecuencias manteniendo activa la investigación filosófica que cuestiona la discriminación y el odio propiciados por quienes desprecian la vida humana. Continuamos trabajando porque creemos que la ciencia básica requerida para el desarrollo productivo del país garantiza la mejora de las condiciones de vida de sus ciudadanos.
