Although Novak recognizes himself as a disciple of Maritain, especially in his thesis on the Christian origins of democracy, the differences between the two in their views on the capitalist economy are evident. However, in his famous book, The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism, and in other previous works, Novak tries to show some possible bridges between Maritain’s thought and the virtues of American capitalism. This attempt is actually part of a larger project by Novak: that of showing the essential compatibility (...) of Catholicism with capitalism. The purpose of this article is to show, based on Novak’s thought in relation to Maritain, the possibilities and difficulties of this attempt. (shrink)

Este artículo traza los grandes rasgos de la propuesta para el diálogo interdisciplinar entre la filosofía y las ciencias humanas en el pensamiento del filósofo argentino Francisco Leocata. El autor parte de la descripción y la crítica que realiza Leocata al programa positivista y neopositivista que intenta reducir las ciencias humanas a los cánones metodológicos de las ciencias naturales. Luego señala los problemas que ve Leocata en las propuestas de interdisciplinariedad de carácter ecléctico, post-estructuralista y utópico-crítico. Asimismo, el autor describe (...) el punto de vista de Leocata acerca de las posibilidades positivas de la racionalidad hermenéutica señalando, al mismo tiempo, los riesgos que puede implicar una adopción desmesurada de este tipo de racionalidad. Finalmente, el autor argumenta que el camino adoptado por Leocata para hacer posible este diálogo interdisciplinar va principalmente en la línea de una visión renovada de la fenomenología de Husserl, de la Antropología filosófica y de la Psicología científica.

Family, bioethics, and contemporary assertion of rights Família, bioética e reivindicação contemporânea de direitos The starting point of this article is a historical approach to the contemporary origins of the current right recognition movement in relation to the family. Also, through a philosophical-legal research into its essential features, the author proposes an interdisciplinary reflection on the links between such movement and a new anthropological and legal conception of family driven by a particular use of biotechnology. Some alternative critical proposals to (...) this way of thinking by authors from the legal, psychoanalytic and philosophical fields are also explored. Finally, the article concludes with a discussion on the need for broadening the philosophical and anthropological bases of the debate on the family in order to overcome the ideological bias of legal reforms underway.

Il pensiero economico di Rosmini costituisce una sintesi originale tra diverse correnti di pensiero che egli riunisce per superare l’influenza della prospettiva utilitaristica. Basandosi sulla sua visione personalistica dell’essere umano, modifica la concezione dell’agire economico e, sulla base di essa, numerosi aspetti pratici delle politiche pubbliche. Al di là del suo interesse storico, il pensiero economico di Rosmini costituisce un contributo all’acquisizione di una prospettiva filosofica su molte delle scoperte attuali della ricerca teorica ed empirica in economia.
