36The Ontological Account of Self-Consicousness in Aristotle and AquinasReview of Metaphysics 67 (2): 311-344. 2013.This paper studies the notion of self-knowledge in Aristotle and principally in Aquinas. According to Aristotle, sensitive operations like seeing or hearing can be perceived by the knower (sensitive consciousness), while there can be also an understanding of the understanding, mainly attributed to God, but not exclusively. In his ethical writings, Aristotle acknowledges the human capacity of understanding and perceiving one’s life and existence, extended also to other persons in the case of frie…Read more

5¿Se puede comparar la filosofía de Tomás de Aquino con la ciencia moderna?Studium Filosofía y Teología 23 (45): 103-126. 2020.Una comparación entre la filosofía de Tomás de Aquino y la ciencia moderna es posible y puede ser fructífera. Algunos aspectos de su visión del mundo natural son incompatibles con nuestros conocimientos científicos, pero otros son del todo compatibles y relevantes para una correcta interpretación de los logros de las ciencias, teniendo en cuenta la distinción entre ciencia y filosofía, desconocida antes de la época moderna. El artículo explora brevemente esta temática en la cosmología, la teoría…Read more

16Vivencia y objetivación. El lenguaje del dolor en WittgensteinTópicos: Revista de Filosofía 52 239-276. 2016.El artículo examina el pensamiento de Wittgenstein sobre el lenguaje del dolor en la primera y tercera persona. Se subrayan ciertas diferencias gramaticales importantes, según el típico método lingüístico de este filósofo, no sólo respecto a esas dos perspectivas, sino también con relación al uso de verbos cognitivos como “sentir” y “saber”. El examen de muchos textos sugiere ciertos puntos acerca de las relaciones entre las vivencias personales, la captación empática de las vivencias ajenas y s…Read more

319The World as Object of Action and TheoryStudia Poliana 18 27-50. 2016.Abstract: Being-in-the-world defines in Heidegger an ontological and practical existential situation that in a first approach characterizes intellectual knowledge, an approach related to the Husserlian notion of intentionality. In his Curso de teoría del conocimiento, Polo rectifies this characterization, stressing the primacy of theory regarding action, and interpreting the practical (technical) relationship with the world as a lower level of “having”. Making some comparisons between Husserl, S…Read more

5Relaciones entre los tiempos naturales y los tiempos humanos a través de las ciencias y la culturaStudia Poliana 12 21-40. 2010.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 , allowing to look for their unity and significance for human life.

24Presencia y temporalidad: Aristóteles, Heidegger, PoloStudia Poliana 3 103-126. 2001.This paper considers the notion of the present in Aristotle, Heidegger and Polo. The Aristotelian analysis of the "now" is subjected to oscillations between identity and diversity. Heidegger considers that the "now" is related to a special presentation of being. Polo's thesis about the mental presence as an articulation of time entails the overcoming of Heidegger's historicism and appears as the right way for a metaphysical study of time

365La unidad y multiplicidad del universoAnuario Filosófico 12 (2): 135-170. 1979.The article studies the Thomistic view of the universe as a synthesis between unity and multiplicity, mediated through order. The metaphysical notion of multiplicity is related to the transcendental "unum". Even some account of multiplicity may belong to transcendentals. Notions of non-being and distinction are distingued.

11La relevancia de la nuerociencia en el estudio de la religiosidadScientia et Fides 6 (2): 85-99. 2018.The Importance of Neuroscience in the Study of Religiosity The article aims to determine whether neuroscience is relevant for a better comprehension of religious activities. The answer to this problem emphasizes the distinction between mental operations and their intentional content. Neurobiological studies, I argue, can be important to evaluate the psychological and neural dimension of religious acts, with caution due to their great complexity, but not to evaluate the truth and genuineness of t…Read more

12La especie cognitiva en Tomás de AquinoTópicos: Revista de Filosofía 40 (1): 63-104. 2011.The article proposes to interpret the Thomistic notion of cognitive species and its relationship with the ‘mental word’ in terms of a pre-objective and pre-conscious mental background capable to become an objective thought and to be used in human rational behaviour. Some particular points about intentionality, sensitive perception and human consciousness will be considered in this study.

702Libertad, determinación e indeterminación en una perspectiva tomistaAnuario Filosófico 46 (2): 387-403. 2013.The Thomistic account of freedom as election and freedom as love of the transcendental good, which in its perfect achievement is indefectible, introduces a new and unexpected approach in relation to contemporary debates concerning compatibilism and incompatibilism between freedom and determinism. This article develops both aspects of freedom and tries to bring new light to the problem of defining and evaluating the concepts of determination and indeterminacy.

944El ser eterno en Emanuele Severino. Estudio crítico a la luz de la filosofía de Leonardo PoloStudia Poliana 5 167-198. 2003.Este artículo compara el supuesto 'neoparmenidismo' de la filosofía de Severino con Polo como filósofo 'antiparmenidiano'. Siguiendo la visión de Polo, puede dilucidarse el método fundamental seguido por Severino, que consiste en asumir la mismidad de Parménides y en proyectarla en la dialéctica de Hegel. Al usar el principio de no contradicción, Severino recurre preferentemente a la operación mental de negar.

6Automovimiento y crecimiento como características de la vida según Leonardo PoloStudia Poliana 11 111-131. 2009.Este artículo analiza las caracterizaciones de la vida como autopoiesis, autoorganización, sistema complejo organizado, en términos de la visión de Polo de la vida como praxis orgánica. Se consideran especialmente las notas del automovimiento y el crecimiento. El viviente puede entenderse a la luz de la concausalidad como sustancia "más que hilemórfica" en cuanto la forma viviente incorpora el movimiento de un modo intrínseco.

3Aporías sobre el universo y su temporalidad a la luz de la filosofía de Leonardo PoloAnuario Filosófico 29 (55): 1003-1016. 1996.Some paradoxes emerging when the universe is thought of in terms of objectivity are considered in this article, in the light of the philosophy of L. Polo. Current metaphysical speculations on the basis of modern cosmology cannot easily avoid this risk. The author examines in particular the problem of the beginning of time, with a confrontation between Polo and Aquinas. It is argued that cosmological thought must be carefully controlled in order to be referred to a metaphysical perspective
