What happens when a bull is pardoned in the arena? The art of bullfighting, accordingto Domingo Ortega’s definition, is “a very complex thing.” Forgiveness is also complex:as Ricoeur argued, if forgiveness is difficult to give and to receive “it is just as difficult toconceive of”. What does it mean, then, that this “ontologic asymmetry” bullfighti...
In this article, the author proposes the need to reflect, from an aesthetic perspective, on the joyous nature of sacrifice from a Christian viewpoint, and specifically from a Catholic perspective. The choice of this philosophical discipline is that it integrates the capabilities of the human being without dissociating them. Furthermore, the experie...

善待野生动物及动物福利问题已成为保护中的一个重要话题, 但人们对于如何最好地保护野生动物并提升其福利有不同的伦理观点。其中, 应用于野生食草动物保护管理中的结果论伤害伦理框架有很多优势。为了在实现保护目标的同时尽量减少伤害, 我们认为许多情况下可以通过消费性的就地捕杀过剩的野生食草动物, 以进行管理。这项政策的好处在于:动物只在很短的时间内处于不良福利状态、剩下的动物仍享有较好的福利 (如养育后代方面) 、避免了过剩种群中较差的动物福利情况 (如饥饿) 、防止了其它物种的福利因资源耗竭而遭受负面影响 (如竞争) 、肉类的获得可以减少饲养的农业食用动物的数量, 且能以最低成本最大程度地为其它野生动物管理和保护优先问题供给资金。这个结果论框架伦理学的替代方法有道义论 (包括动物权利) 和美德伦理...

S’il est fréquent de considérer l’abattage comme une ellipse entre l’animal et la viande, des pratiques comme le sacrifice ou la chasse se présentent à l’inverse comme nécessitant de rendre la mise à mort visibl...

Participants of Betsknate refer to historical and mythical elements that have been essential for the definition of being Kamsá. I suggest that the carnival´s characters pro...
This paper focuses on the idea of tragedy in Marx. A comparison between Capital and the Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1884 is proposed, in order to assert that what happens to the human being goes through the understanding of his tragic condition in the bosom of capitalist production. It maintains that tragedy is the conflict in which the...
