La invención de los celos
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2005-06-22) Konstan, David
In this paper the A. proposes the idea that, in classical Greece, the concept of a feeling that exactly corresponds to Jealousy in the modern Western world. did not exist. He inquires on the meaning of the word zélotupia that is frequently translated by "jealousy", and proves that it did not have that precise meaning in the ancient Greek texts. Yet, although there was little room in archalc Greek culture for the developmenl of the idea of Jealousy in a romantic sense. in Rome's first century B.C., conditions favoured the development of such a concept, concretely in Horace's amatory poems and in the authors of erotic elegy.

La adopción de la teoría copernicana por Kepler: un caso de interacción entre ciencia, filosofía y religión
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2005-06-22) Kozhamthadam, Job
lt is well known that Johannes Kepler was one of the first reputed and professionally recognized scientists to support the new heliocentric theory of Copemicus. Kepler accepted lt not as a provisional simpler theory, but as the true theory of the universe, and he did so despite the fact that he, more than any one else at that time, was keenly aware of the defects and deficiencies of this new theory. This paper Is an attempt to shed sorne fresh light on this baffling puzzle. After carefully and crltically examining the different views of well-recognized Ke pler scholars, this paper traces the source of this enigma to his special mode of thinking and proceedlng in his sclentlfic inquiry: Kepler allowed a creative and constructlve interaction between scientiflc data, phllosophical principies and certain religious beliefs. lf he had relied on empirícal data alone, he would not have been the most Ioyal Copemican. Philosophical or religious ideas alone also would not have convinced him of the veracity of the heliocenlríc view. Kepler's acceptance of the Copemican system is a paradigm lnstance of the constructive interaction between science, philosophy and religion in the history of science.

Asombro ante el mundo y sentido de la vida en Wittgenstein
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2005-06-22) Sádaba, Javier
El presente trabajo constará de tres partes. En la primera, trataré de ver qué es lo que significó para nuestro autor el asombrarse (staunen, wonder) ante el mundo considerado como un todo. En la segunda, intentaré relacionar ese pasmo o extrañeza con el sentido de la vida de cada uno de nosotros. Y es que la segunda parte es una explicitación de la primera. En la tercera, contextualizaré lo dicho en la cotidianidad de los humanos. Como creo, al igual que Epicuro, que la filosofia que no cura las heridas del alma es vana, acabaré aterrizando, en lo posible, en el buen vivir que a todos, al menos como ideal, nos pertenece.
