{"product_id":"dialogos-sobre-la-guerra-1","title":"Dialogues on war","description":"Is war an action contrary to reason? This book emerged from the first day of reflection convened by the Institute of Humanities of the Universidad Panamericana (UP), in April 2022, to open a serious discussion among professors and students, both from the UP and other universities, about war, under the pretext of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.\u003cbr\u003eIn the first section, the authors explore the historical causes of war, from an anthropological and political perspective. The approach of Saúl and Llovet is interesting, as they focus on Homer and classical thought and, from there, engage in dialogue with the current warlike reality. This vision is enriched by Ruiz Velasco's article, who deals with the topic based on Álvaro d'Ors' reflection.\u003cbr\u003eThe works of professors Hernández, Fernández, and De Haro make up the second section, which attempts to answer the question about the moral justifications of war from three enriching perspectives: state control that can be triggered for the preservation of health due to the recent pandemic, the internecine wars that have shaped modern Mexico from the 19th century until now, and the anthropological understanding of violence in general and war in particular based on René Girard.\u003cbr\u003eNext, the book deals with war from three specific moments in the history of philosophy: Stoicism, scholasticism, and the Frankfurt School. The dialogue that Ramos-Umaña, Lecón, and Coronado hold with the authors they deal with will allow a better understanding of war today, without losing sight of a concern that remains relevant: is peace possible?\u003cbr\u003eThe last section moves a little further away from the current situation than the previous ones and addresses the topic of war from the perspective of aesthetic experience. Literature and music appear before the warlike conflict in four chapters whose theme revolves around \u003cem\u003ePedro Páramo\u003c\/em\u003e, Juan Ginés de Sepúlveda's reading of Aristotle, a precise musical journey based on Plato, and a brief exploration of the possibility of beauty in war.\u003cbr\u003eTo conclude the book, we have the chapters by Abraham Martínez and Teresa Santiago. The first delves into the anthropological structure to discover if that faculty that the Greeks called thymós, whose function is to ally with reason, but also to call to action, is responsible for our warlike nature.\u003cbr\u003eThe intention of each of the authors is to engage in dialogue. Current public discussion tends towards reductionism and irreconcilable solutions. In dialogue, the aim is not to defeat anyone, but to better understand the reasons of others and one's own, and thus, together, try to find the truth. Faced with the sterility of throwaway dogmas, dialogue is always fertile. So we encourage the reader to dialogue with each of the authors who offer novel, precise, and controversial contributions here, about the meaning of war and its purpose, and to participate in the search for an answer to whether we are condemned to perpetually wage war to seek peace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-16220525\"\u003eRoberto Rivadeneyra Quiñones\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-16220527\"\u003eVíctor-Isolino Doval\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Editorial Nun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.62d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9786075969114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 607596911X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PHI\"\u003ePhilosophy\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PHI010000\"\u003eMovements | Humanism\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Editorial Nun","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44582076809453,"sku":"9786075969114","price":26.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_abc0e392-aa4e-491f-b9eb-ff8cd16a72b1.jpg?v=1702098299","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/es\/products\/dialogos-sobre-la-guerra-1","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
