The Perception of Pain and Suffering of the Weak, the Innocent and the Marginalized from Evolution and from Christian Theology
The topic of pain and suffering is complex and requires a holistic vision. This article begins by clarifying concepts to understand pain as a biological, psychological, and social phenomenon that has an evolutionary history whose maximum expression arises in humans. Established this common ground, it explores altruism and animal cooperation as incipient phenomena of care for the other, though contextual. Then it points out that the difference wit…
Perspectives on the Religion-Culture Relationship in a Globalized Secular Culture According to Christopher Dawson
This article explores the interplay between religion and culture in Christopher Dawson's philosophy of history and underlines the relevance of his analysis in today's globalized culture, which often shows little interest in religion. The discussion begins by examining observable manifestations of religion within any culture, including religious institutions and the intrinsic transcendent aspects of religion. It then highlights religion's signific…
How to Study the Historical Imprint of Religions on Cultures According to Christopher Dawson
Christopher Dawson is one of the great philosophers of history. He understood the signs of the times and anticipated what was to come in Western society. He considered religion to be the soul of cultures and showed this in his writings. The aim of this article is to articulately present Dawson's vision of how to study religions from his discipline. To this end, it first shows the possibility of the scientific study of religion. Then it explains t…
Is human enhancement possible if it comes from the outside
Throughout history, human beings have worked on their personal enhancement. Not only improving the living conditions, but also trying to improve the moral behavior of people, usually through education. The Transhumanist proposal of moral enhancement promises to make us better and understands it as a duty, also because of the ethical challenges that present to us. In the following article we explore if that is possible and to what extent, taking i…
Is Homo naledi Going to Challenge Our Presuppositions on Human Uniqueness
Non-locality of the phenomenon of consciousness according to Roger Penrose
Roger Penrose is known for his proposals, in collaboration with Stuart Hameroff, for quantum action in the brain. These proposals, which are still recent, have a prior, less known basis, which will be studied in the following work. First, the paper situates the framework from which a mathematical physicist like Penrose proposes to speak about consciousness. Then it shows how he understands the possible relationships between computation and consci…
La dimensión ética de la ciencia según Mariano Artigas
The Ethical Dimension of Science According to Mariano ArtigasMany authors have written, from different approaches, about the relationships between ethics and science. In this work, we analyze how Mariano Artigas (a physicist, philosopher, and priest) did it. He gives great importance to ethics, which he considers a philosophical presupposition of scientific activity. A detailed analysis of his work allows to understand to what extent ethics is im…
