  1. ¿Es la filosofía una ciencia inútil?
    ¿Es la filosofía una ciencia inútil?
    Reflexiones sobre el sentido de la existencia
    Rafael Resendiz Ramirez

                La filosofía es la única ciencia basada en la razón que pretende abarcar todas las cosas como objeto de estudio, intentando inquirir sobre lo más profundo de cada una de ellas, saber sus causas últimas, puesto que, es una ciencia integral, analiza y sintetiza. No obstante, el mundo científico avanza a un ritmo cada vez más veloz rumbo a la especialización, al análisis. En nuestros días tendríamos que preguntarnos si la filosofía no va en retroceso o intenta responder a preguntas que nadie se hace, si no pierde el tiempo encontrando problemas donde no los hay. Precisamente, es en esta encrucijada la de la filosofía en cuestión, donde todo hombre puede ser interrogado, ¿qué es?, ¿qué sabe?, ¿de dónde viene?, ¿a dónde va?, ¿qué puede esperar?, ¿para qué existe?, ¿por qué está aquí? y ¿cómo debe ser en este mundo?

  4. Ariel & Duster's The Almanac Summer Season

    “The holes are bigger than I am! And it’s way too heavy! I think we need to try something else to get this chunk to the party”. “I see what you mean Duster, it’s not going to be easy, is it? But how do you move this sort of thing around?” asked Ariel, a little perplexed by the problem. “How DO you move this?” “Well, we need a far broader back than I have, and something that it won’t slide off!” replied Duster, as he and Ariel tried to remove the last remnants of the honey from his back. “A broader back that it won’t slide off?” replied Ariel as she thought about what Duster had said. “What about Spike?” she asked, excitedly clapping her hands together. “It wouldn’t fall of his back, would it?” she half asked, as the thought sounded better when said out loud.

  14. On Resurrecting Beauharnais: Jeremy Waldron and Group Libel
    On Resurrecting Beauharnais: Jeremy Waldron and Group Libel
    by Terrence Heinrichs
    Half Full Publishing

    You’re a Muslim father walking down a city street with two young kids in tow. You see a sign posted on a wall that says “Muslims Go Home!” You’ve seen signs like this before. How should you react? Jeremy Waldron thinks you should be fearful because such signs evoke memories of the horrible things done to you and your kind in the past. Meanwhile, he thinks, while you are cowering in fear, those who posted the signs are comforted, all the while planning and conspiring with others to do awful things to you and yours if you don’t leave. Moreover, because the signs are legally permitted, other potential hate mongers, currently in hiding, decide to jump in and join the fray. After all, if the messages weren’t OK, the signs wouldn’t be tolerated—would they? Given the messages sent by such signs, what should be done to protect public order and reassure targeted minorities they are equal citizens? Should we ban the signs or permit them, leaving their worth for private individuals to decide? Why… ban the signs and prohibit the speech, of course!  So Jeremy Waldron argues in "The Harm in Hate Speech", a book which attacks the reigning American free speech paradigm and attempts to resuscitate arguments for a group libel statute, long dead and buried in America but alive and well today in Europe. "On Resurrecting Beauharnais: Jeremy Waldron and Group Libel" critically examines the arguments Waldron presents for such a statute as well as relevant views of other writers argumentatively in the same camp.
