This article aims to unpack the query of whether or not there is a historical-philosophical basis for the hypothesis of a non-random homonymy between 'time scale' and 'musical scale.' A deeper look into certain passages of Plato's dialog Timaios, shows that he first laid the foundation for the concept of time, defined as number, by incorporating the concept of 'proportion' or 'analogy' (ἀναλογία), which was developed by the Pythagoreans in the mystical and theoretical frame of the rising principles of tonal harmony. The pythagorean-platonic theory of proportion underlies -as I will try to prove- the aristotelian concept of time, and thus the traditional representation of time as a parameter and scale of movements.

The article Sensibility and Morality in Kant presents an exposition of Kant's practical philosophy from the epistemological assumptions that link the entire transcendental philosophy. According to Kant, the basis of the possibility that our concepts are cognitively valid rests on the possibility of referring or exposing them to sensibility. Therefore the representation (exposition or sensibilization) of the concept of moral duty arises as especially problematic, since the universality and necessity inherent to this concept is fully inderivable from experience. This article delves into the Kantian concept of «symbolic exposition» as a signifying model that agrees with the specificity of morality. It also tries to clarify how the Kantian requirement of an analogical use of the concept of nature in the reflection over the moral correction of our actions should be understood.

Sustain the legitimacy of the analogical application in bonam partem of the law and the consequent interdiction of the analogy in pejus, are debating the existence of a substantial identity between crimes and administrative offences, justifying the analogical application of the law, to give fullness to colombian administrative sanctioning law; which positive regulation is scattered, sectoral and insufficient. Therefore, we maintain the existence of an ontological identity between the administrative offence and the crime, especially on principles-dogmatic categories that built it, and that justifies the application of legal institutions for the beneficial effect for citizen, absent in the national administrative sanction law, but positivised in the Colombian Penal Code. An exploratory-descriptive methodology, in the base of bibliographical documents, periodical publications, and precedents of the justice, is used. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent years, Spain has achieved an essential evolution in Family Law. In this article, we carry out a study of the unmarried couple present-day judicial framework from the point of view of the statutes, the case law and the literature. On the one hand, we analyse the regulation of the autonomous regions in Spain, to emphasize their resemblances and their differences; on the other hand, we made a critical regard to the State legislative passivity and, finally, we described the main jurisprudential lines on this subject and we propose the recognition to unmarried couples of certain effects that are legally recognised to married couples by means of analogy.
