This paper pursues the historical-philosophical clarification of the intersection of three concepts that have a special importance in contemporary debates that have a bearing on the understanding of what the human being is, both as an individual entity and its relations with others and, also, as a sometimes inhospitable place nucleated by irresolvable tensions. In this sense, Judith Butler's performative approach is of special interest, which can be understood, on the one hand, as a complex and critical transhumanism and, on the other hand, as a proposal to understand the human beyond humanism, without resorting, therefore, to foundationalist ideals.

This paper deploys a bibliographic and theoretical revision to understand the subjective processes in the curricular mediation of visual arts teachers in Chile. The paper articulates concepts such as device, object/new materialism, subjectivity/subject and affections. The purpose is to make non-binary readings about the appropriation of visual arts teachers in the formal education system and their subjective constructions regarding to the curriculum. The paper emerges from a research that seeks non-tangential answers to the following questions: What are the implications of the curriculum in the construction of teaching subjectivity? How is subjectivity positioned within the development of the curriculum? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper invites an exercise of ontological reflection on Franz Hinkelammert's theoretical proposal. For this aim, it exposes some conceptual implications of his idea of subject and tries to show how, from it, ethics, epistemology and politics are organized in his work. Although Hinkelammert does not explicitly address an ontology in his writings, the review of his theoretical corpus based on a set of questions linked to the reflection of the ontological level allows us to suggest this dimension or aspect of his thought. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents the central aspects of Hinkelammert's critique of neoliberal theory and the "capitalist market as supreme being". He made a profound questioning of this theory between 1970 and 1984. In his last books he offers a questioning of the religion of the market, especially in The Totalitarianism of the Market. These investigations are part of his research program, which: a) constitutes an exceptional interpretation of the crises of contemporary societies and their market religion; b) his response is Marx's "praxis humanism", based on the principle of "man as supreme being for man".

This paper aim of the essay is to analyze Paulo Freire's proposal for a liberating education in relation to the decolonial positions of today. To achieve this end, the research considers the following aspects: 1) Conceptualizes Freire's proposal referring to liberating education, in which he postulates a social praxis, with a view to building a pedagogy of the oppressed, as a mechanism to disarticulate the advances of the modernity, leading more and more to liberation. 2) It questions the banking conception of knowledge, as it assumes a depersonalized system of accumulation of knowledge, without understanding the complexity of existence. 3) It considers the role of the individual in the processes of social transformation, expressing a critique of the prevailing educational models, taking as an example the theory of the five skins of Friedensreich Hundertwasser. The method used is the hermeneutic-documentary. It concludes in the need to maintain a critical attitude and a permanent social action, which allows consolidating liberation through a decolonization project. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The recurrent changes that we are experiencing nowadays indicates that we are immerse in the XXI century, which means that we are facing a globalized society that requires an ethical, critical and aware individual capable to face the different problems that afflict their communities or country of residence. That is why talking about linking ethical values with university responsibility is necessary, considering that the vast Latin America must educate, not only and individual trained to carry out and activity in a certain discipline of knowledge, but also that he is responsible professional with the institution that formed him, as well as with the environmental, ecological, moral and social elements. This paper aims to describe the different definitions of University Social Responsibility (RSU) talking into account characteristics such as: 1.- Impact of this in the Globalized Society 2.-Emergence of the RSU concept, based on the laws that gave rise to it, 3.- Differences between Corporate Social Responsibility (RSE) and University Social Responsibility, 4.-Ethical values and their involvement with University Social Responsibility [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper explores the fundamental axes that currently converge for the needs of nature and humanity. The philosophical statements contained in this reflection become valid when it comes to articulating ethical codes with the advancement of science and, at the same time, educating through an axiological system that leads to sustainable human development. In this order of ideas, it is pointed out how Western progress has led to catastrophic events for life on the planet, coupled with the excessive use of science, without any ethical criteria to regulate their actions. However, as a result of the moral reflection of recent times, of the voices of various social groups, scientific improvements have been questioned and directed towards the production of knowledge that allows human activity to be deployed positively on nature and on society, taking into account that, to make this possible, it is necessary to combine ethics, science and education, to walk towards progress in terms of sustainability.

The violence that has been built around gender affects social dynamics and ways of understanding the world. Although it is true that the role of women in the construction of culture is vital, relations with the other, with the male sex, have been based on asymmetries, objectification and implementation of dominant patriarchal logics. For this reason, this paper analyzes the categories of gender, equity, multiculturalism and interculturality, pointing out the necessary transcendence of multicultural approaches, which hide hegemonic discriminatory patterns towards women and culture, since recognition or tolerance towards women is not enough. The other requires the establishment of symmetrical, equitable dialogues that tend towards social justice. The work was developed following the guidelines of the hermeneutic-documentary methodology. It concludes in the recognition of the heterogeneity of genders, cultures and knowledge, to denounce discriminatory patterns in multicultural approaches, which encourage mistreatment towards divergent identity, tending towards the consolidation of an ethical-normative system based on a genuine intercultural dialogue.

One hundred years after the birth of Leopoldo Zea, one of the most prominent philosophers of Latin America, in this paper we reflect on the role of the human being in history and the philosophy proposed by the author. We gather his vision about the Western philosophical heritage, anthropocentric and Eurocentric, facing the possibility of generating from our region a philosophy centered on the idea that all humans are human. Thus, we will unveil his criticism to the pretension of a universal Man and we will make visible his anthropological and humanist proposal, from which he manifests the need of recognition, from the cultural diversity, of all human beings.

By means of an interpretative documentary revision, the paper posits that in Hector Abad Faciolince's Angosta there is a narrative of realism as that which is convenient to the strongest. The relation between narrative and justice in recent academic production is explored; the concept of the just when faced with Angosta narrative is exposed; the novel as a fictional narrative space between fiction and representation of realism is proposed; as a conclusion, it is stated that the novel's plotting takes advantage of the tensions and tragedies of realism and, at the same time, suggests an aesthetic vindication of a different yet unlikely justice.

The aim of this article is to present Derrida's reading of Husserl's phenomenology in his text Genesis and Structure and Phenomenology. Its structural stages, its due themes and conclusions will be presented. The aim of this paper is to understand the problem that Derrida points out in the passage from structure to genesis in the Husserlian phenomenological method, and to observe the arguments that conclude the bad achievement of the phenomenological method. The aim is to detail this interpretation by basing it on Husserl's texts and Derrida's considerations on them. In the same way, this work is intended to serve as a basis for introductory studies to phenomenology and deconstruction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of the paper is to notice the integration of expressions of modernity, the idea of space and language of the subject as representations of the world. The modern is analyzed under the tension of the Latin American and the Eurocentric. The ideological through the idea of space as a cosmological antecedent and language under the figure of reality and its hermeneutical contour. We have called the whole of this relationship the semantics of the representation of the world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objects that populate the world are external to the human mind, as well as individual and particular. Concepts, on the other hand, are the result of conceiving something mentally, detached from the immediacy of sensible impressions and, therefore, from particular representations. By means of the concept, then, we arrive at a universal significance which is formulated by means of a word and constitutes that which we refer to and can apply to a multitude of individuals indistinctly. The concept is an intellectual representation of a universal or general object that is obtained through abstraction and, for this very reason, is abstract and not concrete. This paper focuses on how the Middle Ages dealt with the problem of universals, as well as the most important arguments of the debate. Thus, after pointing out the early ancient antecedents of the universals polemic, I will give a brief overview of the medieval era as a conflictual context and, finally, I will analyse the main positions: the realist position, with its twofold extreme, with Platonic roots, and moderate, influenced by the Aristotelian conception of substance), and the nominalist position, articulated theoretically by William of Occam and put into scientific practice by thinkers who mark the transition from medieval philosophy of nature to Renaissance physical-mathematical philosophy.

The aim of the paper is to discuss the persistence of the armed conflict in Colombia. This work starts from the premise that despite the alleged demobilizations of armed groups, terrorist actions remain, with the same weapons and practices typically implemented for those groups. This phenomenon has being identified by the authorities as Criminal Gangs (Bandas Criminales). The paper claim, that Crimes perpetraded by members of these gangs has been missinterpretated, because the criminal offence are conducted for cause, on occasion or in direct connection with the armed conflict. Terrorist acts and crimes against humanity continue occuring alongside of Colombian territory. In conclusion, Criminal Gangs (Bandas Criminales) must be repressed and sanctioned by the Colombian State and eventually by the International Criminal Court. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we study two initiatives of José María de Llanos in the 1950 at the University of Madrid. The research has a theoretical and historical dimension. The theoretical character lies in the questioning of the conventional narrative of Service Learning (SL). The historical aspect of the paper is based on intellectual history. The questioning of the habitual narrative of the SL leads us to identify its origin rooted in religious notions and in the tension of combining the message of charity with that of social justice.

Sport has become a "universal" leisure, commercial and media activity. Team sports could help to better understand the character of sport (Ehrenberg, 1991). In this paper, the paradoxical functions of the coach are analyzed, ranging between the orientation of collective performance and the enhancement of the preference or talent of the other team members; in order to do this, the following points are analyzed: exclusion/inclusion; coach/team; training/competition; defense/attack; inside/outside; game/player; starters/alternates; reason/faith; victory/defeat. From the understanding of this paradoxical activity it will be possible to forward relevant conclusions for the training of the youngest coaches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper explores the relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility and the proposal for sustainable development. By virtue of this, the article focuses on three aspects: 1) the theoretical conceptualization of sustainable development, which arises from the demands of a society plagued by environmental deterioration, which demanded forceful actions to stop the adverse effects of industrialization. In response, the World Conservation Union, the Brundtland Report (CMMAD, 1987), Agenda 21 (Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 1992), and the World Summit in Johannesburg in 2002, helped shape the definition of sustainable development managed so far. 2) The proposal for Corporate Social Responsibility, which has antecedents in the 19th century, but it is not until the 20th century, along with the advances in sustainable development, that it enters the academic and managerial scene, postulating a new vision of the company, with social relevance, adapting to the demands of a more conscious society, without losing sight of the need for sustainable production and growth. 3) Corporate Social Responsibility in interrelation with the objectives of sustainable development, representing the opportunity to materialize the responsibility of companies with the environment and the community. It concludes on the importance of awareness regarding globalization and its adverse effects on life on the planet, as well as the need for companies to act responsibly in the face of this phenomenon.

This paper aims provides some reflections on the transitions that the sense of the Right to Health in Venezuela has embodied in the period 1960 to 2021. For this, a critical review of the health legislation in force during that period is carried out, as well as of the Reform and Counter-reform processes attempted within the framework of the dynamic historical-political contexts that the country has gone through. It is possible to characterize periods, and to show approaches, distances and transitions to the neoliberal model in the process of establishment in Latin America; from regularities, similarities and asynchronous parallels, identified in the contrast with what happened in other countries of the region, Chile and Colombia; also revealing possible horizons for the Right to Health in the Venezuela of the XXI century.

This paper explores the bioethical dimension of the vaccination process for COVID- 19 in pregnant women. To achieve this objective, the following aspects are considered: 1) the historical antecedents of immunization, rescuing the importance of the works of Wortley, Jenner, Pasteur, among others. 2) The dilemmas that have arisen around the practice of vaccination, among which the growing commercialization of the pharmaceutical industry stands out, articulating to a macro project of globalization and social exclusion. However, in the midst of this onslaught of the contemporary economic model, key approaches emerge to safeguard the right to life and the protection of human dignity, such as the Universal Declaration of Bioethics and Human Rights proposed by UNESCO in 2005 3) The various obstetric and ethical positions considered for the use of vaccines in pregnant women. 4) The dilemmas arising from the implementation of vaccines for COVID-19 on pregnant women, not yet having enough scientific documentation to know the adverse effects in the future. It concludes on the need to evaluate each particular case before making a decision regarding the immunization of women in the midst of the pandemic, considering, previously, health as a fundamental human right and the right to information, as a means to take a wise decision in relation to the subject.

This paper aims the viability of building an ecological citizenship, understood as a response to the environmental crisis, a product of the advance of symbols of the instrumental rationality of modernity. The confluence of diverse theoretical, cultural, educational, philosophical and social movements gave rise to the emergence of a political ecology, which was built on the utilitarian foundations established by Western logos, while allowing a holistic, complex and heterogeneous understanding of relationality man/naturalness. However, the environmental problem was not resolved with the political emergence of ecology; it required entering into sustainable development, with the presence of an ecological citizenry, whose fines are placed on the responsibility and active role of the citizen in favor of the environment, to the communities in the processes of transformation of society. However, to consolidate this proposal, it cannot be achieved without environmental education, thought, in the bureaucratic terms of the academy, as a life training, which must be carried out from birth to death, promoting axiological training and a culture sustained, fair and sustainable.

This paper, developed under a diachronic-rationalist approach, analyzes the existing interconnection between pharmaceutical patents and human rights in the current context. To achieve this end, the research focuses on the following aspects: 1) the commercialization of resources that could favor public health. 2) The synergies that promote the mixed investment of public and private capital for the distribution and effective use of drugs. 3) The role of human rights in the practices of production of health goods and services. 4) Market strategies that do not violate the individual and collective rights of citizens. It concludes on the importance of pointing out the role of the State as a regulator of commercial activities on aspects that concern public health, in addition to indicating that pharmaceutical patents constitute a social opportunity to promote health, this to the extent that they articulate efforts with the State and with social sectors, to give way to the consolidation of human rights and the vindication of the dignity of life.

This paper addresses the close relationship between the social sciences and the health sciences. From a general point of view, both disciplines seem to have followed a parallel path and without points of intersection; However, the COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated the close relationship that science has to explain and confront the complex and multidimensional reality that is, at the same time, eco-biopsychosocial. This reality requires having researchers, professionals and theorists who see the need to interpret the world within complexity, from multidisciplinary approaches, which makes it possible to verify the particularities of each community. Therefore, an effort is necessary to reinterpret the training of health and social science professionals, carrying out joint work, leading to success in working with the communities.

Assessment is considered one of the most relevant factors in the teaching and learning process, fundamental part of training in Higher Education -- multicultural -, a factor that appears to be a weakness when re-designing University careers, especially in a competencybased curriculum approach. According to the above, the purpose of this paper is to show and discuss the options and limitations of the evaluation in a Higher Education that stand out today for the multicultural and context according to three dimensions: a) purposes, b) moments and uses, c) those who carry it out. The main conclusions of this work are linked to a partial transition from traditional evaluative practices oriented to academic performance (focused on knowledge) to a more formative and democratic evaluative practice, highlighting in some cases the tendency to incorporate the participation of the students in the design of evaluation instruments and techniques, the effective possibility of feedback that implies change or improvement, use of evaluative strategies of self-evaluation and co-evaluation, implementation of some active learning methods and their evaluation focused on the student, action that tends to be more transversal and student-centered.

This paper aims to analyze the economic models applied throughout history in Latin America, emphasizing the development of the neoliberal model, understood as the preference for markets over cultural norms; bringing up the substitution of the company name for an economy abundant in capital and accumulated wealth in a sector of the population. Thus, guaranteeing the conversion of social rights into commercial services, where its main purpose is the search for macroeconomic balances at the expense of marginalization, discrimination and violation of the rights of populations that represent multiculturalism in the region. That is why, the need to search for balance focused on individual and collective safeguarding in the face of abuse and capitalist arbitrariness. The present investigation assumes a theoretical-philosophical position; however, it recognizes the confluence in the political, cultural and ecological impact. Scenarios that have concentrated problems that lead to the destruction of the diversity of peoples in the region, disrupting the value and human dignity by pursuing a dominant culture, the assimilation of other vulnerable ones through the imposition of knowledge, beliefs and ways of life different from yours. For this reason, the importance of an economic model reoriented to the multidimensional compression of its impact on the environment is recognized, creating a horizontal coexistence with relegated and marginalized cultures in society.

The present paper examines an educational proposal that gives the child (and in it the Jove) his emancipation consisting in his insertion and active participation in society, all from the philosophical thought of René Schérer (1922) and Charles Fourier (1772-1837). To develop the objective, we will dedicate ourselves to explain: the passionate attraction, the twelve passions (Charles Fourier) and the passionate aesthetics (René Schérer); and we will explain, what passionate education consists of, how it allows the emancipation of the child and what its political implications are for the transformation of the social order.

This paper aims to determine the economic and social impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Peruvian regional market. To achieve this end, the research took two methodological approaches. On the one hand, the quantitative approach, oriented by a correlational design, where the questionnaire was applied as a validation instrument in a population of 51 microentrepreneurs, presenting to consider: 1. Management skills, where data on the dimensions were collected: experience in activities and services, education, and personal skills proposed by Griffin & Fleet (2015). 2. At the sales level, the data report information on the dimensions: sales situation, problems and implications of sales, as well as the need for profit based on Sant's approach (2013). On the other hand, it assumes a theoretical-philosophical approach, where the effects of globalization and capitalism on the Latin American regional market are evaluated, which, accompanied by the presence of COVID-19, have deepened social inequalities, the marginalization of sectors of the population and labor exploitation. The interconnection of these methods allows us to conclude on the need to connect the microenterprise sector with the social reality of the communities, returning to work the human conditions that hegemonic globalization has subtracted from it.

This paper aims to analyze the migratory phenomenon in the light of philosophy. Mobility is a fact as old as humanity, it responds to the need for progress, which has significantly helped in the evolution of man. However, war, disease, poverty, social marginalization, conditioned social scenarios and prompted human beings to transcend their geographical limits, seeking better life opportunities, thus guaranteeing the right to survival, advancing towards the consolidation of universal human rights. The present investigation assumes this theoretical-philosophical position; However, it recognizes the political, economic and social impact of migration in current scenarios; Therefore, it evaluates the specific case of the Venezuelan migration to Peru, pointing out the role that the Special Commission for Refugees has played in its performance as a state body whose function is to protect and enforce the right of refugees who enter the country Peruvian territory. For this reason, the importance of international agreements in the protection of refugees is recognized and, at the same time, the intrinsic value that exists in human nature is emphasized.

Today, rational intuition is the subject of intense debate. Particularly, it is discussed what epistemic role it fulfills, if it fulfills some. Recently, Machery (2017) has proposed a modal skepticism regarding the validity of intuitions in the philosophical field, restricting with this moreover the scope of the philosophical discipline in general. The proposal of experimental philosophy would not only rules out the validity of intuitions in the philosophical field, but might through this debate put in question the very nature of philosophy, as well as its object of study. It is therefore a metaphilosophical discussion. In this paper I propose an anti-skeptical response to the role of rational intuitions, while at the same I discuss the scope of method of cases. I conclude that although an intuition does not justify or evidence any belief or knowledge, it fulfills a relevant propaedeutic role, which allows sustaining an rationalist naturalist position, empirically informed.

Language is part of the symbolic universe of man, it shows the degree of culture and social development that defines him as a species. Its study deserves an interdisciplinary approach, since its importance transcends the spellings captured on paper or the articulation of sounds through syllables. From a philosophical perspective, language and consciousness are articulated to decode reality and lead man towards his historical development. From sociolinguistics, language is evaluated from its social uses, in the midst of the communicative interaction between different linguistic groups. This research highlights the importance of language teaching, however, leaving aside the normative and descriptive criteria that do not take into account social facts or the context in which learning takes place. The work does not pretend to establish a definitive position regarding the subject, on the contrary, it points towards the need to reinforce the teaching of language and to point out the value it has as an instrument of social transformation.

The main aim of this paper is the analysis of the possibility of renewal and deepening of the democratization processes opened by the Boaventura de Sousa Santos's theory of democracy. Throughout his long academic career, Santos formulates a theory of democracy beyond the limitative hegemonic conceptions (liberal, elitist, representative, procedural, electoral and delegative). In consonance with the theoretical and normative assumptions of the epistemologies of the South, Santos's theory of democracy focuses in its most radical and counter-hegemonic contents, based on high-intensity democracy ideas, demodiversity, experimentalism and articulation between representative democracy and participatory democracy.

The paper presents a systematization of the contributions of several Latin American authors to the debate on the taxonomy of the forms of cooperation, coordination and integration between disciplines. To this end, we adopt a conceptual reference where the ideas of coexistence, combination and unification between disciplines are included in a continuum of increasing convergence. We consider that the scheme accounts for the European or "classical" tradition of thinking on inter-disciplinarity. On these bases, we develop a classification scheme that is compatible with the "classical" tradition, and with the categories that emerged from the work of the Latin American authors.

The paper explores the work of the Mexican philosopher Leopoldo Zea in search of theoretical elements that allow him to be identified as an antecedent of de-colonial developments. In this search for writings that appeared between the 1950s and 1970s, an evolution in his thought can be observed that makes it possible to divide it into two stages. The first represents an effort to justify the belonging of American philosophy to the great tradition of Western thought, considered as the only one with a claim to universality. The second will consider American philosophy as a disruptive contribution to a colonialist and decadent tradition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With Adriana Petryna book: Exposed Life: Biological Citizens after Chernobyl, biopolitical studies took a different course, accepting a new manifestation in the exercise of biopower: biocitizenship or biological citizenship. Based on the analysis carried out by the author of the tragedy that occurred in Chernobyl, a series of citizen demands arose that called into question the role of the State, the market, the institutions and the political practices of social control. In this new theoretical horizon, the category of biocitizenship is analyzed, without losing sight of its origins in biopolitical studies, bringing this idea closer to theoretical conceptualizations typical of Latin American critical thought. For this reason, this papers is oriented towards the consolidation of anti-hegemonic and anti-systemic identities that guide citizen praxis towards intercultural citizenship. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Child exploitation is one of the great concerns of international organizations and regional governments in the contemporary world. This situation responds to colonial patterns that have been imposed on American lands, as a result of the expansion of the globalization phenomenon. Consequently, to address this problem, it is considered appropriate to analyze a series of philosophical categories, such as: coloniality, exploitation, social welfare, from interdisciplinary approaches and perspectives, dimensioning them to the Colombian reality, particularly the Wayuu population of Riohacha, in the department of the Guajira. In this locality, exclusion, marginalization and oppression persist, where children and adolescents are forced to, to shovel the social difficulties they are going through. This is evidenced through theoretical references provided in the research and in the application of empirical observation, which has allowed reinforcing the philosophical and decolonial guidelines indicated. This paper does not pretend to establish a definitive position; on the contrary, it tries to promote critical debate and a different social praxis, which leads to the appreciation of childhood and social changes relevant to human progress.

This paper is carried out under the method of documentary research and its objective is to analyze the approach to education by competencies, under the new demands of the knowledge society. To achieve this end, the work is structured as follows: 1. It indicates the historical context in which the proposal arises. 2. Presents the theoretical foundation, which highlights the novelty and intention to respond to the demands of global society (Aldana, 2005), as well as the complex task of executing various actions to solve daily and work problems (Tobón, 2006)). 3. Indicates the importance of adapting to the demands of the knowledge society proposed by UNESCO (2005). 4. Shows the main criticisms of the model, in which the excessive economic focus (Sánchez Parga, 2011) and the foundation in a commercial ethics (Sánchez, 2011) are distinguished. It concludes on the need to maintain a holistic approach in educational processes, without losing sight of the complexity of the human being. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper discusses the moral proposal from Ernst Tugendhat, taking as a base his book "Dialog in Leticia". His moral work is composed by the approach of some aspects of moralities mainly exposed by Aristotle, Kant and Hume. In this regard, we will show the ruptures and continuities with these authors. At the same time, an attempt will be made to test the hypothesis that Tugendhat's goal (implicit in his work) is to create bonds of dialog between some aspects at the level of foundation. This is where the author creates a moral theory integrating such traditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we will discuss the relevance of Jean-Jacques Rousseau's philosophy while remarking its capacity to promote social changes. To this end we will review some instances of his thought that are usually not considered by the History of Philosophy as philosophical works, such as his strategies to persuade the public or the emancipatory aim of his anthropological theory, and how these arguments face the defense of the Natural Law. The notable success of Rousseau in the enterprise of developing a coherent philosophical system, while fulfilling the main aim of the Enlightenment of promoting real social changes, offers valuable insights for authors trying to impact the public awareness.

This paper aims the Kantian theoretical position regarding the aims of human culture. To achieve this end, the following aspects are taken into consideration: first, unsociable sociability is presented as a necessary condition for the species to advance towards the culture of ability; however, the need to protect his life and possessions leads man to settlement within the political community, as a mechanism to restrain his antagonistic impulses. This results in the advance towards the culture of the discipline, which leads to the establishment of a legal order that exerts a civilizing pressure to prepare the ground for morality. The hermeneutic-documentary method is used. Concludes are that in the need to guide us through an ideal of peaceful coexistence, with effective political mechanisms that allow the advancement of human culture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to show the different currents of global thinking of the management model by competencies in the workplace, and then take a brief review of the state of the art of the organizational method in Peru, and end with some recommendations for the implementation of the model according to the vision of McClelland (1973), Spencer and Spencer (1993), Boyatzis (2002) and Alles (2008). The documentary analysis methodology of the model was used to link the theoretical and practical realities of the organizational field of business management experiences in Peru and thus present a way forward for its insertion. The results allowed the elaboration of a management proposal of the model by competencies that consists of three phases that includes twelve steps, which must be aligned with the strategic business plan, have the maximum commitment and support of the highest managerial level of the organizations.

This paper, developed under the documentary approach, aims to specify the epistemological and pedagogical challenges posed by educating the generation of digital natives or centennials. To achieve this end, the article is structured as follows: 1. It presents the most relevant characteristics that define the Centennial Generation, among which its birth in the midst of the exponential rise of the internet, the advancement of social networks and the questioning the traditional vision of education, being a generation that demands immediate answers in the midst of a globalized context. 2. It presents the model of a good university teacher, which leads to the reengineering of educational processes and the orientation of students to integral development. 3. Points out the current limitations of education and the need to innovate in educational and technological matters to meet the demands of the centennial generation. It concludes on the need for debate on these complex issues, promoting research proposals, as well as the advancement of new epistemological approaches that lead to more humane and humanizing educational practices.

This paper aims to analyze human sexuality from its philosophical and pedagogical dimensions. In philosophical matters, sexuality has been a controversial and overlooked subject within philosophical studies; However, based on the theoretical proposals of Michael Foucault, the concept of sexuality is re-dimensioned, by stating that it serves as an instrument of oppression imposed by the hegemonic culture; For this reason, in a world characterized by information, interconnectivity, population growth and various social conflicts that affect the human psyche, it is necessary to carefully reflect on these aspects. On the other hand, the pedagogical guidelines offered are intended to provide theoretical support for sexual education, based on Piaget's socio-cognitive theories and Bruner's theory of discovery; likewise, this model has sociocultural, epistemological and legal foundations, which makes the study of notable interdisciplinary interest. It is concluded that the human being has the need to know the fundamental aspects of his sexuality, not only biological, but from a broader perspective: philosophical and social.

This paper offers an overview of the genesis, nature and historical significance of the crisis of public life in early 21st century Mexico. The analysis begins by recognizing a historical context where many areas of the Mexican territory lie beyond state control, and where a number of counterpowers challenge and dispute the state's legitimate monopoly of force and hegemony. The paper characterizes the evolution of public life in 20th century Mexico and briefly compares recent transformations in this sphere with similar developments taking place in other parts of the globe. The paper goes on to argue that the erosion of public life and its attendant crisis of civic culture have as their background the deep-rooted social inequalities and the conditions of underdevelopment that characterize Mexican reality. In turn, underdevelopment and inequality are expressed, and deepened, by the fragility of Mexican institutions and the Mexican state's state of crisis. Thus, the paper seeks to apprehend the interconnections between public life, state fragmentation, and the development/underdevelopment dialectic in early 21st century Mexico. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

By introducing the current socio-ecological state that has led to the proposal of the Anthropocene epoch, but also to other conceptualizations such as the global environmental change and the (ecological) planetary boundaries, this paper briefly analyses the theoretical-conceptual scope and limitations of the idea of the Anthropocene. It continues with a critical reading of the challenges that the expansion of urban space brings with it under the logic of capital accumulation; indeed, the main configuration of space under the so-called Anthropocene epoch. The speculative character of contemporary production of urban space and its main socioecological implications, which take place in an uneven manner, are thus discussed from a critical perspective of urban political geography and urban political ecology. The paper concludes with a deliberation on the basic characteristics of an eventual urban transition towards environmentally less devastating and socially fairer and more inclusive modalities of urban space production.

This papers aims to analyze the discourse of sustainable development as opposed to that proposed by Eurocentric modernity. For this, the work is based on four fundamental aspects: 1. It presents the most relevant characteristics of Western modernity, which have clear imperial, colonial, xenophobic and exclusive connotations, which manifest the intention of erecting a monolithic, monocultural civilization based on in the omnipotence of reason. 2. It points out how capitalism and anthropocentrism to the expansion of the western civilizing model, having serious consequences in the deterioration of life on the planet. 3. It shows that, given the accelerated advance of westernization and planetary deterioration, the discourse of sustainable development is given rise, supported by the documents of the World Conservation Union (1980), the Brundtland Report (CMMAD, 1987), the Summit of the Earth in Rio de Janeiro (1992), the World Summit in Johannesburg (2002), among others, which have clear biocentric and ecological connotations, giving recognition to the intrinsic value of nature, denied by modern anthropocentrism. 4. Finally, it raises the need to decolonize sustainable development, recognize the voices silenced and forgotten by modernity, and open the dialogue of knowledge, the recognition of spirituality and ancestral memory, as necessary paths to advance towards the construction of a different world and different imaginary. The article is developed through documentary research; it does not pretend to be conclusive, but to serve as a reflection on this already broad discussion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the first place, the notion of art of living as an influence of the thought of Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) will be examined; in the second place, its first positions around a hermeneutic of self will be analyzed; in third place, the transition from self-knowledge practices to self-care in the Greco-Roman tradition will be reviewed; and finally, it will be exposed how the ethical mandate of care for the self takes the form of parrhesia, based on Kant's critical philosophy and its consequences for contemporary ethical reflection.
