History of philosophy in high school equality



This is excellent news for the beginning of the school, has published a textbook History of Philosophy for the Bachelor of adding new knowledge from the gender college explaining the issues own such manuals. It is the work of Amalia Gonzalez Suarez entitled Women, men and philosophy. History of Philosophy (ed. octahedron, Barcelona, \u200b\u200b2009). Philosophy usually speaks of man but even if it is assumed that this refers to man (anthropos ) and not the man (aner ), the reality is that few times the concept of man has in mind women as object of reflection is not sexist or as a subject of philosophical discourse. For example, how many textbooks do make reference to the capital work of John Stuart Mill Subjection women to demand equal rights for women and was one of the philosophical basis of suffrage and women obtained the vote? How many thinkers are usually named in the textbooks?
In the seventeenth century, the philosopher Poulain de la Barre stated in his work on gender equality : "The philosophers have taken their prejudices to schools and they have not learned anything that might help to shed them. They are not told a word about the sexes, is supposed to already know enough. " Today, philosophy, to be critical, is reviewing and correcting the gender bias that has plagued as part of a culture that has excluded and women traditionally undervalued. As stated by the philosopher Amelia Valcárcel in his Foreword to this new History of Philosophy: "The question who and what we , since we know something of our history, past answer how we got here . humanity studies his past, but knows it is not something inert, in fact is one of the objects of study that most change. For each new look will find in it things that others had overlooked relevant "
Member of research group Celia Amorós Amalia González Suárez shows his experience as a teacher in middle school very clear exposition of this book is very educational at the same time precise. Each current philosophy is explained in its historical context and includes short texts for comment and discussion activities and type test. From these lines I send my congratulations to the author as a result so accomplished and so useful in the Hispanic world.

Example Of Handwritten Will

POINTS

As we were some time ago at recent meetings have been held providing the commentary of several books read and liked us enough to recommend to other colleagues in the Reading Club, so I turn to record them in this our blog so that we can be of some use.

first mention to the first work of an author Andalusian Jesus Maeso de la Torre, a resident of Cadiz, and recovering, with an impeccable historical accuracy, a historical figure Abdherraman II's court, that part of our history that was always denied by the Catholic religious intransigence, and who Islamic fundamentalism also made him into exile in the Emirate of Cordoba.









The great playwright Fernando Arrabal with this work leaves us aware of the family tragedy that earned him his father, a lieutenant in the Army of the Second Republic simply! remained loyal to the legally constituted government and who had sworn, and military loyalty. The process that confronts her mother since childhood and through which the familiar historical memory is erased even in the most intimate details, and that leads him to say "stepmother story plunged us, tied up misfortune. " includes his famous" Letter to General Franco " written and sent in the dictator's life.



Antonio Abad brings this delicious novel of colonial atmosphere that we immersed in that world so little known commonly by all the English, who always taught us to despise only "Moors" as inferior to those who had to lead and protect because they were savages, and therefore lower set up the "Protectorate of Morocco, but in fact they were interest only for the rich iron on the Rif Atlas sighs King Alfonso XIII as his prime minister Count Romanones.
is good go to one of the facets of what it was that reality of our presence in Morocco. The author spent ten years writing this book, but I think it was worth it, reflected by heart the sad reality.


First tell you that all the titles that always began "Vatican ............" y. already repeluco gave me, for it is well written so much garbage issues sometimes repetitive in its audacity come to cinema, but the truth is that after reviewing the rate of work and given the pseudonym its author, led me to do some research that confirmed to me the interesting thing about the novel, and bought it. Needless to say I liked it enough, the author assembles his novel in the future, but putting on the table the real problems and burning of the Catholic Church and making XXI century, through the fictional plot, alternative proposals. Curiously, as stated in its opening pages, the author is a member of the Roman Curia who hides behind a pseudonym to avoid the consequences of his honesty in admitting both nonsense. For those who decide to read it I recommend that after doing so, I interned in the Web and find information about Cardinal Martini and their ideas, compare them with those expressed in the novel and see what conclusions do you find.

In this historical novel, its author, Manuel Villar Raso, we documented in fictionalized form, another unknown chapter of our history, the conquest of the Niger and Timbuktu their capital foundation for part of those other English, the Moors of Granada, expelled from Spain in the sixteenth century and they conquered and settled in much of Africa, while others crossed the Atlantic and English conquered the lands of the New World though we have had these other lot of news because, curiously, these were the winner of Spain and others of Spain defeated, as unfortunately so often recur throughout our history.



This completes my literary recommendations, I recognize that much focus on historical themes, but it is the kind of novel that I like it not only literature but history teaches me, and this is very important that you know best for that not to repeat past mistakes but learn from them.
From here I invite comrades s Reading Club already in the meetings also raised its literary recommendations, so that played in this our blog that we must serve as a vehicle of communication, especially from October in which we start our diaspora.
