This research work collects and analyzes valuable bibliographical information on the immortality of the soul in the Stagirite according to Suarez. Doctor Eximius’ breadth of knowledge on the history of philosophy is surprising, which serves as inspiration and support in his analysis of the sources, either directly or indirectly by reference to others. There are three indirect references: Eusebius of Caesarea, Augustinus Eugubinus and Augustinus Niphus. The sources of inspiration of the Spanish philosopher on the status quaestionis are thirty authors in total. Of them, sixteen authors are in favor of the mortality of the soul in Aristotle; eleven authors in favor of immortality in the Stagirite and three who maintain an ambiguous or doubtful position in Aristotle. Indeed, the thought of this cast of thinkers –from antiquity to the 16th century– cited by the Jesuit, really constitutes a history of the immortality of the human soul.

This paper discusses the close similarities between Husserl’s, Scheler’s and Stein’s concept of the person as an absolute value that exercises itself in position-takings. Ethics, for the classical phenomenologists, Husserl, Scheler, and Stein, concerns the whole person, including the affective and rational dimensions, intellect and the heart, as well as volition. Persons are distinctive for their free agency, capacity to recognize norms, and ability to interact responsibly with other personal agents in the context of the communal and historical life-world.

José León Herrera no era, sino que es y sigue siendo un hombre universal. Pues, además, de su profundo y fino conocimiento de las más diversas culturas y civilizaciones, sigue estando entre nosotros cada vez que se dan esos momentos en que, por las más diversas razones, escapamos a las limitaciones espacio-temporales. Que físicamente no esté ya entre nosotros, es, como diría él mismo, parte de Lila (sánscr.), del juego cósmico de los dioses. Pero, para decirlo con esos juegos dialécticos a los que solía recurrir, quizás no sea así, y todo lo dicho no sea más que un consuelo para los que le hemos sobrevivido. Pues, ¿acaso no es verdad lo del poeta: σκιᾶς ὄναρ ἄνθρωπος / una sombra en un sueño: el hombre? Gracias Pepe por compartir tu sueño con nosotros.

In order to separate from an excessively idealistic reading of Husserl’s phenomenology, Sartre turned to Heidegger’s ontology. His main goal was then to establish a phenomenological ontology. However, the author argues that all the main concepts that Sartre found in Heidegger, that is, nothingness, anguish, death and finitude, are constantly redefined into the French philosopher’s philosophy. This gesture explains the rupture according to which when Heidegger’s philosophy is a philosophy of finitude and death, that of Sartre is a philosophy and life.

The intentional correlation between the consciousness and the world is the central theme of phenomenology. Edmund Husserl has attempted to found this correlation by making explicit a previous passive vital course, teleologically oriented towards intentional activities. In this same task, Michel Henry has accentuated the pole of the immanence of correlation, founding the intentionality of consciousness in affective life. For their part, Jean-Luc Marion has emphasized the pole of the transcendence of correlation and has decentered the intentionality of consciousness, attending to the saturation of phenomena. In this work we intend to briefly go through the three paths indicated in search of the original proto-phenomenon of the experience, trying to contrast the proposals and glimpse possible convergences.

As it is well known, throughout Being and Time Heidegger distinguishes between an ontic (Entdecken) and an ontological (Erschlossenheit) sense of truth. Whereas the first one involves truth, insofar as a way in which the Dasein can be concerning beings, the second one corresponds to the manner in which the Dasein opens and comprehends their being. In this paper, we will focus on developing the phenomenological aspect of the second sense of truth and its relation with the first one. We will recreate, first and foremost, Heidegger’s characterization of the ontological sense. Then, we will make use of the asymmetry between both kinds of senses to inquire about the problem of normativity presupposed in his work.

With Heidegger, the detailed study of what it is and what questioning implies begins in the history of philosophy, since, with the exceptions of Plato and Aristotle and possibly Descartes, a question as such was neglected, despite the fact that it is in the field of philosophy that questioning achieves its maximum fulfillment. The reflections of this article study the links between Érōs and the question (erṓtēsis), an essential connection that, although it is not etymo-logical but phonetical, allows us to find the common amphibian structure that joins together these two dimensions and makes it possible to establish an essen-tial link between Érōs as the strength and the question as the place where that strength is expressed, what is nothing other than philosophy as love or aspiration to knowledge.In the question-answer unit is that knowledge as a unit of what is sought and what is found.The question, a kind of symbol that links together, supposes a distancing that eliminates the immediacy of what is given and establishes a distance in which what is questioned and its aspiration to the unity of knowledge are placed. The question is the piety of thought, as Heidegger says, and the philosophical ques-tions, the expression of our first and last perplexities.

Although Bachelard’s entire philosophy of imagination is affected by a symbolic materialism which can play a mediating role in reverie’s path, it is also true that the purpose of art, especially in poetry, is the search for truth, the lightning flash of insight, the deep apprehension of being itself, an experience that can hardly be given if we interpose, between the being of the thing/object and human subject, concepts or categories that seek a higher comprehension of the operational phenomena at stake, but which ultimately drown the saying of what is being shown to us. The poetic image must be a vehicle capable of symbolizing reality by connecting it with the imaginary, while being at the same time that uncaused force which brings about the ontological novelty capable of building a new anthropocosmos.
