ECOS HEGELIANOS EN \EL ORIGEN DE LA OBRA DE ARTE\ DE MARTIN HEIDEGGER
In this paper, I aim to demonstrate that \"The Origin of the Work of Art\" involves an implicit dialogue with the Hegelian philosophy of art. [...]we will try to show Hegelian influences within a theme not fully explained in the essay on art: the history of being (die Seinsgeschichte). Heidegger, Hegel, work of art, end of art, history of being. Pero, sin embargo, sigue abierta la pregunta de si el arte sigue siendo todavía un modo esencial y necesario en el que acontece la verdad decisiva para nuestro Dasein histórico o si ya no lo es.

EL FILÓSOFO Y EL PRESENTE. SOBRE LOS CARACTERES DE LA EDAD CONTEMPORÁNEA DE FICHTE
In this bibliographic commentary, we want to show the relevance of Fichte's Characteristics of the Present Age, recently reissued in its Spanish translation. [...]we analyze each of the big moments of the Characteristics and the concepts involved; for example, the plan of the universe, the ages, life, true religion, etc. [...]throughout this commentary, we attempt to reflect on the complex relation between the philosopher and the comprehension of his own time. Fichte - Characteristics of the Present Age - History - State - Comprehension. 1. Así, desdobla -como también suele hacerse- entre el primer Fichte o el Fichte de Jena, y el segundo Fichte o el Fichte de Berlín (Rivera de Rosales, 2019: 23-35), y a la vez captura temáticas de distintas obras hasta desembocar en lo específico de Los caracteres.

ON BEING AND NATURE IN MULLĀ ṢADRĀ AND WHITEHEAD
One of important philosophical problems in environmental philosophy is the existential relation between man and nature. This mirrors the earlier relationship between man and nature as God’s creation. The core principle here is relationality. Man and nature in modern thought are considered as separate substances with an abstract relation between the two. These divisions which emerge with Modern thought operate on the basis of rational distinctions and the attempt to substantiate and verify. Such an approach often isolates Nature as a distinct region of being, where nature is divided into parts and analyzed in isolation. With such analysis and reduction, the interrelationships and interconnectedness among beings as well as among parts of the whole disappear. As a result, nature is considered as a big machine, and being is treated as a static substance. Many modern Western philosophers consider being as merely as a nominal concept. Contrary to this mainstream modern thought, the philosophers Mullā Ṣadrā and Whitehead hold that nature as well as the entire corporeal world is a substance in a continuous process of change and becoming. For Mullā Ṣadrā, nature in essence is a process of ‘trans-substantial motion’ (al-harakat aljawhariyyah). This principle is derived from his reflection on the univocal meaning of being that brings about his fundamental doctrines, i.e, the principiality of being (aṣalat al-wujūd) and the gradation of being (tashkīk al- wujūd). For Whitehead, the actual world is a process of becoming of actual entities. In accordance with his philosophical system, to explicate his thought, Whitehead coins the term of ‘actual occasions’ to denote all beings in the corporeal world. He rejects critically the mechanistic viewpoint of modern thought. This paper attempts to introduce several basic principles from Mullā Ṣadrā and Whitehead to provide an alternative philosophical foundation for the environmental movement.

El emperador como exemplum: a propósito de la edición de Maria Carmen De Vita de Lettere e discorsi de Flavio Claudio Juliano
La presente nota bibliográfica analiza el testimonio filosófico-político del emperador romano Flavio Claudio Juliano que presenta Maria Carmen de Vita en su edición bilingüe de Lettere e discorsi. La editora propone una lectura directa del autor como un princeps philosophus que se está construyendo a sí mismo desde la escritura. La retórica, la filosofía y el poder se dan cita en la figura de este emperador y filósofo, cuyo modus scribendi convierte la retórica en instrumento filosófico-político para constituir una comunidad helénica fundada en la paideia, donde el princeps sería el mediador entre el mundo inteligible y la vida cívica. O es el retoño de Helios, legitimado para tomar el papel del exemplum (la lectura que propone la autora) o un Quijote que quiso ser como los filósofos a los que leía en las doxografías y se soñó fuera de la caverna.
