Ferrater Mora y la integración de tres mundos
En este artículo hacemos dos cosas. En primer lugar, explicamos de qué modo José Ferrater Mora se hizo buen conocedor de tres mundos distintos: el catalán, el hispánico y el europeo. En segundo lugar, reconstruimos algunas de sus observaciones más perspicaces sobre la naturaleza de estos tres mundos. Lo hacemos tomando su reflexión sobre las formas de la vida catalana como punto de partida y destacando su vocación por la integración
Is there an ethnicity bias in Catalan secessionism? Discourses and political actions
Many charges have been made against Catalan secessionism from a normative or ideological point of view. In this article we would like to focus on the accusation that the secessionist movement is xenophobic, racist or ethnicist. Between 2017 and 2019, and particularly since Quim Torra was named president of the Generalitat, this has been the dominant criticism in the arguments set out against secessionism. We are interested in evaluating the stren…
La autenticidad en el turismo
En este artículo se realizan tres cosas. En primer lugar, se presenta el ideal turístico de la autenticidad. En segundo lugar, uno se pregunta cómo se originó el ideal en cuanto tal -qué fuentes o ideas lo alimentaron. Finalmente, en tercer lugar, se plantea la cuestión de si el ideal turístico de la autenticidad es un ideal viable, verosímil, factible. A este respecto se destacan dos conjuntos de dificultades. Las primeras reciben el nombre de i…
In a democracy, what makes an external self-determination claim reasonable? Some reflections on the moral aspect of the question
The central part of this article deals with the morality of secession. We present the three main "pure" theories about the morality of secession and suggest the greatest justifying power of an "impure" or mixed theory. At the same time, however, we advocate the need for a proper understanding of the question of the morality of secession. More specifically, we suggest that the best way to raise it is by introducing the notion of "reasonableness" i…
Inclusive secularism in Catalonia
A number of recent studies highlight the attention the Catalan government has paid to religious matters since the year 2000. The efforts of Catalan institutions seem directed at fostering inclusive management of religious diversity. However, most of these studies focus on the steps followed at the ‘top’ level (legislative, governmental). In this article, in contrast, we adopt a ‘bottom-up’ perspective, enquiring to what extent efforts from the ‘t…
The Unfeasibly Narrow Rawlsian Interpretation of Fraternity
In a famous passage in A Theory of Justice, Rawls had an interesting view on fraternity. However, he did not develop it further. The first aim of this article is to show that there are at least two possible interpretations of what Rawls wrote about fraternity: the narrow interpretation and the wide interpretation. We will focus on the narrow interpretation and attract attention to the kinds of problems it presents. In the last section we will ass…

A typology of arguments in defence of a coercive language policy favouring a cultural minority
What kind of arguments can be used to justify a coercive language policy favouring the language of a cultural minority over the majority language of a state? To answer this question we will focus mainly on the language policy of the Catalan government and, to a lesser extent, on the language policies of the Basque Country and Quebec. Our aim is to develop a typology of arguments and try to show that each argument resorts to a different reason for…
El "giro hermenéutico" del liberalismo político rawlsiano
Una de las áreas en las que el influjo de la obra de H.-G. Gadamer se ha notado con más fuerza es la filosofía política. Algunos teóricos se inspiran en ella a fin de articular un modo de hacer filosofía política alternativa al modo kantiano actualmente preponderante. Según algunos intérpretes, la concepción del liberalismo político de John Rawls sería una concepción eminentemente hermenéutica. En este artículo intentamos mostrar las razones que …
El dilema del consenso por superposición rawlsiano
En este trabajo presentamos una objeción al liberalismo político de John Rawls. La objeción puede formularse en forma de un dilema que afecta especialmente a la noción de consenso por superposición: o bien el consenso por superposición no ofrece ninguna razón categórica o justificativa a favor de los dos principios de justicia rawlsianos y, por tanto, es irrelevante, o bien tal noción presupone la aceptación de determinados caracteres o conceptos…
Entrevista a R. M. Hare
Indudablemente R. M. Hare es uno de los filosofos morales mas importantes e influyentes del panorama filosofico de los ultimos tiempos. A el dehemos la formulacion mas poderosa de la teoria etica del prescriptivismo, una tradicion de pensamiento sobre el lenguaje moral que, segun Hare, puede remontarse a Aristoteles, Kant y Mili. Pero no tan solo eso. Su teoria etica esta estrechamente vinculada a una concepcion moral normativa de caracter utilit…
