39Una novela en la que no sucede nada: Der Stechlin de Fontane y la amistad literariaAreté. Revista de Filosofía 21 (2): 411-444. 2009.Este artículo pretende mostrar la crucial importancia de la conversación en la obra Der Stechlin de Fontane. Frente al tradicional desarrollo de la trama literaria, que centra la atención en el drama de los conflictos (complicación y desenlace, tensión y sorpresa, conflicto romántico, etc.), en esta novela no encontramos nada de eso y, entonces, aparentemente, no ha pasado nada. No obstante, este juicio inicial queda desacreditado en la medida en que, compartiendo las conversaciones que entablan…Read more

They therefore left him alone on the island, a lame man with no …Read more

15Transcendence and Human ValuesPhilosophy and Phenomenological Research 64 (2): 445-452. 2002.Robert Adams has written a most impressive book. To say that it is the major philosophical contribution to theocentric ethics in recent years, given moral philosophers’ general avoidance of religious topics, would be grossly inadequate praise. Nor would that judgment adequately convey the book’s fresh and subtle contributions to many more familiar topics in philosophical ethics, from the nature of ethical language to the virtues to the role of civil liberties in a pluralistic society. Most impre…Read more
