    La noción plural de sujeto de justicia. Un nuevo reto para la filosofía
    Daimon: Revista Internacional de Filosofía 171-179. 2010.
    Thinking the future of Justice implies not only answering the question, considered its object: what is it due?, but another more original: To whom is it due? Theories of Social contract, specially the rawlsian, have a great influence on contemporary models of justice. Some of the most powerful critics are the ones held by Walzer, who integrates the plurality in the very structure of the justice, and by Nussbaum, who emphasizes the importance of grasping the subject of justice as plural.

    Three Liberal Conceptions of Self-Realization: Creativity, Authenticity and Flourishing
    In Andrea Altobrando, Takuya Niikawa & Richard Stone (eds.), The Realizations of the Self, Palgrave Macmillan. pp. 199-215. 2018.

There is a current initiative to declare bullfighting as Intangible Cultural Heritage and include it in the UNESCO list. The proponents of such initiatives contend that bullfighting should be protected and promoted on the grounds that it is an artistic activity, part of the national culture. In this chapter, I discuss the moral arguments and legal aspects that can be pitted against such a cruel practice. More…Read more
  • La noción plural de sujeto de justicia. Un nuevo reto para la filosofía
    Daimon: Revista Internacional de Filosofía 171-179. 2010.
    Pensar el futuro de la justicia no sólo entraña reflexionar acerca de la pregunta, que se ha considerado propiamente su objeto: ¿Qué es lo que se debe?, sino que requiere retrotraernos a una cuestión más original: ¿A quién se debe? Las teorías del contrato social, con especial relevancia la propuesta rawlsiana, han tenido una notable impronta en las concepciones de la justicia contemporáneas. Algunas de las críticas más poderosas a estas teorías son las llevadas a cabo por Walzer, al integrar el…Read more
