Pluralidad de tiempos según la filosofía de Leonardo Polo

Juan A. García González, Editor Asociado

 

Juan A. García González, “Presentación”, 7-8

 

Artículos

1) Leonardo Polo, “Interpretaciones del tiempo” (tomado de Nietzsche como pensador de dualidades, Eunsa, Pamplona, 2006, VII, 2), 9-19

2) Juan José Sanguineti, “Relaciones entre los tiempos naturales y los tiempos humanos a través de las ciencias y la cultura”, 21-40

Following Polo’s philosophy, this paper deals with the relationship between human and physical times, through the mediation of culture and scientific knowledge. The analysis shows an inedited richness of the different senses of temporality (metric times, psychoneural times, cultural times), allowing to look for their unity and significance for human life.

3) Claudia Vanney, “Determinismo y pluralidad. Distinciones en un debate actual”, 41-54

In this work I will analyze the plurality of times in Polo’s philosophy. Every type of temporality is associated with a peculiar movement. Diverse levels of discussion will be reocgnized in the debate on determinism, corresponding to the binomials: a) contingency – need, b) efficient random – causality, c) emergency – genetical determinism, d) uncertainty – capacity of prediction, e) free choice – automation, f) transcendental liberty – inexorable destiny. Though the debate on determinism can be established in a rigorous way in any of the six levels, we propose the methodical exigency of avoiding the confusion of these, as an enlightening way to advance in the study of this problematic.

4) José Ignacio Murillo, “El tiempo y los métodos en la biología”, 55-68

Contemporary Biology shares with modern science the same understanding of knowledge. This implies a reduction in its objectives. Nevertheless, in order to describe properly its object it had to move from a mechanistic model to more refined theories, as cybernetics and theory of systems. This allows us to formulate a better account of the time of living beings. But only philosophy, which exmines reality without restrictions, can really explain biological time.

5) Fernando Haya, “La exclusión métodica del tiempo en metafísica”, 69-83

The mental limit may be described as formal fullness of time in accordance with its conditional character in relation with intelligible essence. The metaphysic knowledge includes a methodic exclusion confining time under thematic position in order to its abandonment. The abandonment of formal fullness of time notices being. As a conditional antecedent of thought object, the limit is behind practical action and it is trespassed in it.

6) Juan José Padial, “Tiempo de la presencia y presencia en el tiempo”, 85-103

This paper focuses on the time of intellectual presence. In doing so: 1) it distinguishes the time of mind from that of the world; 2) it distinguishes the mental linking of time from the kantian idea o synthesis; and 3) it begins to study the distinction between the “before-after” vast and the Husserlian conception of phases.

7) Urbano Ferrer, “Temporalidad y esencia de la persona”, 105-116

Unlike other modalities of temporality, the treatment of the person’s own time means facing up to certain apories. These include the atemporal selfhood of the person, the passiveness of time versus the activity through which the person constitutively possesses herself or the priorness of the furor both in the projective action and in the vectorial orientation of her being. Delving into the mental suppositions which we are immersed in these apories is the indispensable condition for them to be abandoned. I finish by pausing in the duality native freedom – freedom of destiny as the key in establishing the beforeness of the future in the person, according to the lines of the thought of Polo.

8) Genara Castillo, “El tiempo humano y la virtud ética como modo de ganar tiempo”, 117-127

We start with the increasing character of the essence and the human life, to get to see how the ethical virtue is a way to gain time and to grow.

9) José Luis del Barco, “El tiempo propio del crecimiento”, 129-135

From an analysis of Curso de teoría del conocimiento this paper addresses te uniqueness of human time, particularly time of human essence, and it glosses over the importance of virtue.

10) Alejandro Rojas Jiménez, “El pasado histórico en discusión con Heidegger”, 137-160

Comparative analysis between the past in the philosophy of Polo and the past in the philosophy of Heidegger.

11) Juan A. García González, “Indicaciones sobre la historia y el pasado”, 161-173

Comparing the value of intellectual presence to the theoretical reason in the role of the practical reason discovers the importance of the historical past. It allows us to establish the sense of the history in man.

Notas

Jorge Mario Posada, “Viviente personal y vida esencial. Glosa a algunos pasajes de la Introducción del vol. II de la Antropología trascendental de L. Polo”, 199-227

This article offers a commentary on some passages of the Introduction to the second volume of the Antropología trascendental, where Polo proposes the act of human being according to the character of además, which is equivalent to the personal living in view of its conversion, on a transcendental level, with the personal freedom and the intimacy as higher transcendentals than those of principial being. In addition, the decrease of essential level proceeding from these personal transcendentals is equivalent to the essential human life increasing without restriction, in which natural organic individual life (received life) is actively received, and which is thereby spiritually revitalized (added life).
