The following research has the aim to stress out the similarities and connections between Edmund Husserl’s and Simone Weil’s analysis concerning idolatry as a religious phenomenon. In order to achieve it, it will be necessary to analyse how religion could find a place inside Husserl’s phenomenological frame; after that, the main focus will lay on the interpretation of one of Weil’s posthumous works. Regard-ing the Austrian philosopher, it is important to point out the fact that a continuum between his static and genetic analyses will be implicitly accepted.

It is clear that social movements are not the same since the emergence of social networks. They have definitely revolutionised the way we express ourselves, communicate and organise. However, they are a double-edged tool. In this essay I analyse the main characteristics of social movements in the network era, mainly from two perspectives: that of Manuel Castells and that of Byung-Chul Han. Thus, I will determine whether they are experiencing a favourable or detrimental development with respect to the achievement of their objectives and, above all, I will make visible the new obstacles that appear in virtuality in order to overcome them.

Describo mi confrontación con las ideas de Habermas y esbozo una manera de leer a Hegel que considero consonante con las lecciones más profundas que he aprendido de Habermas. Según mi lectura, Hegel tiene una teoría social lingüística de la normatividad y una concepción exclusivamente retrospectiva del progreso y el sentido en el cual la historia exhibe normatividad teleológica.

If we take into account the plasticity of human beings characterisctic of the kantian (autonomy) or sartrean (self-determination) conceptions, we can state that their essence or authenticity is, to a certain degree, mediated by contingency. With this being the case, the present article delves into the forces of current technology and virtuality aiming to find some clues to conceptualize a hypothetical telos capable of providing a picture of the following transformations that the contemporary subject could go through. Thus is a philosophical anthropology, framed by a new machinic and digitalized daily life, displayed here.

This text links the concept of responsibility described by Husserl in the Crisis and the third meaning of evidence, which corresponds to the third moment of the delimitation between what is immanent and transcendent. First, the concept of evidence is examined. Second, the concept of intentionality is looked over. Third, the concept of responsibility is sketched, as well as those of freedom, the idea of humanity, history, and the task of philosophy.

This article explores the pharmacological character of technology in the light of the anonymous internet browsing free software case and its political potential. It is contended that software, which is at the foundation of the neoliberal surveillance and psychopolitical control system depicted by Byung-Chul Han, may be at the same time, when implemented in open-source programs that hide our digital fingerprint, a tool for resistance and emancipation. This is due to the fact that such implementation attacks the fundamental principles of the dataist domination logic: transparency and predictability.

This article considers carefully the dual structure of the sign made up by the conjunction of the meaning, the object of comprehension, and the signifier, the material medium for expressing the aforementioned object of comprehension. However, given the emotional life encouraged by esthetic stimuli, as body movement and music in particular, such stability and consonance of the linguistic dual structure are called into question. In that context of unstableness, creativity and transformation are evinced as essential conditions for language to work.
