On the Knowledge of My Existence: Towards My Existence as the Adverbial Transcendent/Immanent
I exist in the universe in a unique manner. I seem to know this statement to be true. However, even if I did not exist, the human who happens to be me could be living and writing the same statement. Then, do I really know that the statement is true? Do I really have epistemic contact with my existence? The aim of paper is to clearly raise this question and to offer a positive answer. By drawing on the disjunctive theory of perception, I propose the account that my existence can be involved in experience. To consider how my existence can be involved in experience and can be known from within experience, I refer to Wittgenstein, Kuki Shūzō, and Nishida Kitarō, and present the panentheistic view that my actual existence can be a limit of experience, both transcendent of and immanent in experience. This view is made persuasive by understanding the transcendence and immanence of my existence as adverbial. My conclusion is that I do know with certainty that I exist in the universe in a unique manner, and that this knowledge lies beyond Cartesian certainty.

Heart of Stone: Posthumanist Politics in Life & Times of Michael K
Certain of J.M. Coetzee's novels have been considered in the light of posthumanist theory, but to date this has mainly meant applying animal studies precepts to them, as a way of exposing the limits of anthropocentric thinking. By contrast, this article considers the institutional manifestations of humanism, demonstrating how Coetzee's Life & Times of Michael K (1983) conducts a \"post-humanist\" critique of them. This is undertaken from three angles: first, by exploring the protagonist's \"immanentist\" bearing, with its echoes of Kafka's \"humanimals\"; then, by means of the storytelling dynamics that are part of the novel's discourse and determine its formal strategies; and finally, by highlighting the \"stony\" identity of Michael K, as a key aspect of his counter-humanist resistance. With these elements in play, the novel indicates how a posthumanist politics takes shape, even via a figure whose precarious existence compels him to withdraw from history and social involvement.

“But Who May Abide”: Reckoning with Ranajit Guha, 1923-2023
This article engages affectively with key attributes of the words and worlds of Ranajit Guha, who is widely known today as the found er of subaltern studies. On May 23, 2023, this erudite figure of many parts would have reached his hundredth year on our planet. However, he passed away on 28 April, less than a month before reaching the centennial milestone. In the wake of Guha’s departure, rather than an elegy, my essay is a close conversation with the compelling images and critical imaginaries of the indefatigable intellectual. The dialogue interweaves the scholarly and the sensual, the academic and the emotional, the aesthetic and the embodied, rupture and re demption, and memory and loss. Se ofrece un intercambio afectivo con atributos clave de las palabras y los mundos de Rana jit Guha, quien hoy goza de amplio reconocimiento como fundador de los estudios subalternos. Este erudito súbdito de muchas partes habría cumplido cien años en nuestro planeta el 23 de mayo de 2023. Falleció el 28 de abril de 2023, menos de un mes antes de llegar al centenario. Tras su partida, lejos de ser una elegía, mi ensayo se plantea como una conversación cercana con las imágenes convincentes y los imaginarios críticos del infatigable intelectual. El diálogo gira en torno al entrelazamiento de lo erudito y lo sensual, lo académico y lo emocional, lo estético y lo encarnado, la ruptura y la redención, la memoria y la pérdida.

Believing and Willing Within the Correlation Between the Willing and the Willed in Blondel’s Action: A Reinterpretation of Immanentism and Transcendence
The neglected correlation between willing and believing has prevented an understanding of the acting function of consciousness and the meaning of truth in Blondel’s philosophy of action, leading to its immanentist interpretation. To the extent that the intimate willing intention is revealed in the work that factually transcends the willed ends, in view of a single necessary end, thinking shows itself in ideas as principles of action that must come to be believed in their own willing and to make every act an act of faith.

Faith Inside an Immanent Frame
Those who are charged with the responsibility of governing, leading or teaching in Catholic schools at this time are challenged by questions which go to the heart of their school’s mission. How is it possible for the mission of the Catholic school to be realised in a culture that is increasingly secularising? What is the secularising context and how is religious belief still possible today? These are questions of profound significance also for the families who seek a Catholic education for their children. Charles Taylor’s analysis of our secular age provides a foundation for addressing these questions as do findings from the Enhancing Catholic School Identity (ECSI) research. Whilst the secularising context is sometimes painted as the enemy of Catholic education, it is presented here as being the context in which Catholic schools must realise their mission and this cultural context, like any cultural context, has elements which support the mission and elements which impede it. The following key concepts from Taylor’s analysis are reviewed because of their relevance for Catholic schools: the Expressivist Age, the Cross-Pressured context and the Immanent Frame. The Post-Critical Belief Scale from the ECSI research is also reviewed, as a key finding is that Post-Critical Belief is the only viable option for faith in a secularising context.

SPIRITUALITY AND TECHNOLOGY: A THREEFOLD PHILOSOPHICAL REFLECTION
Despite the prominent role that technology plays in twenty‐first‐century societies, the intersections between spirituality and technology have been poorly analyzed. This article develops a cross‐reflection between these two key anthropological aspects, using a philosophical approach that structures the analysis along three classical categories: transcendence, immanence, and relationality. Drawing from ideas of philosophers, such as Heidegger and Merleau‐Ponty, the article sheds light on problematic aspects of technology that spirituality helps identify and for which it suggests solutions. Symmetrically, the analysis shows commonly inadvertent aspects of spirituality that technology brings to the fore. All in all, spirituality appears as an essential dimension to cultivate in technological societies, while technology might reveal spirituality as richer and deeper than has been apparent in traditional settings.
