The concept of commitment is widely used, has been little analyzed formally. It contains an implicit explanation of a mechanism that produces an ongoing form of human behavior. Commitments arise when a person links others' interests with a constant line of activity when making a side or additional bet. Side bets are often the result of the person's participation in social organizations. To fully understand commitments, an analysis of the value system within which these side bets are made is needed.

The 21st century has seen the rise of "environmental philosophy", concerned with the problematization of the global ecological crisis. In this bibliography, the contributions of Felix Guattari remain relegated --even when he should be acknowledged as one of the first to develop an environmental philosophy in his work The Three Ecologies--. This article proposes an analysis of the problematic center of this pioneering work. Thus, it insists on the importance of returning to the original text; of revising its main topics in each ecosophical domain (mental, social, environmental); and of upholding its relevance even in the light of current environmental philosophy. Furthermore, in this analysis, the successes and flaws of its wagers and forecasts are considered: it is of note that its unfulfilled practical hope contrasts with its sharp theoretical diagnosis. The present text argues that this work not only passes the test of time, but also fulfills the purpose of clarifying the current planetary catastrophe. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the present article of reflection, 4 elements about politics of the memory and it's approach from the Colombian education will be present. They are distributed on this order: 1.The politics of the memory which have been created, are contextualized, and conceptualized in Colombia, in the process of Peace Treaty Implementation between the Colombian government and the before called FARC-EP. 2. The educational approach of the politics of the memory is analyzed making a contrast between the institutional wagers and instituting wagers. 3. The exemplary memory is proposed in order to create educational stages which help to dignify the victims. 4. The education for the peace is problematized and the pedagogy of the memory is retaken as an ethical politic wager for the formation of the "Never Again". Finally, Voices and feelings are presented in support of the Truth Commission. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
