I am a tenured professor of philosophy in the Department of History
of Philosophy, Aesthetics, and Philosophy of Culture at the Universidad
de Barcelona (UB) and a consultant for the Humanities at the Open
University of Catalonia (UOC).
My academic webpage at
offers the possibility of downloading many of my .
I have carried out research in Paris - Univ. René Descartes,
Univ. Heidelberg, and Hegel Achiv of the Univ. Ruhr - Bochum. I
am a member of the Seminario de Filosofía Politica of the
UB. Some of my awards include: the Premio Extraordinario de Licenciatura
- Extraordinary Degree Prize (UB), Tercer Premio Final Carrera -
Third Prize for Overall Studies (MEC) and the Prat de la Riba Prize
(IEC).
After many specialised analytical works in the field of modern
philosophy, I have become increasingly interested in macrophilosophy,
that is, the long-term processes in philosophical, epistemological,
sociological, and political fields.
I am investigating the nature and evolution of rationality, especially
from the beginnings of Modernity to the present. Other current interests
are the social and political mechanisms that make modernisation
and postmodernisation possible, in comparative analysis with the
mechanisms that inhibit these dynamics.
My macrophilosophical research requires me to use an interdisciplinary
approach which, while somewhat exasperating, given the impossibility
of covering everything, still fascinates me because it is what is
really necessary.

Knowledge Politics and Intercultural Dynamics: Actions, Innovations,
Transformations
Chair and discussant: Gonçal Mayos (Professor of Philosophy, Universitat
de Barcelona). Coordinator: Antar Martínez (FJIDI)
CIDOB, Elisabets, 12, 08001 Barcelona. 16 December. 9 h.
This panel addresses
the difficulties and limitations that currently mark both knowledge
and the possibilities for intercultural dynamics. It will also investigate
the alternatives and new potentials that can be built through common
effort. What new and old servitudes should be emphasised? Why is
the knowledge society threatening to fall into ignorance? What alternatives
and proposals can we imagine? How can we specify a global theoretical
framework that can place these limitations and potential alternatives
in order to overcome the current confusion? Let us assume this pressing
challenge of political and cultural empowerment.

effect'. as referred either by anthropologists and epistemologists,

Was the political and philosophical destiny of the West decided at Jena 200 years ago? In the political sphere, Napoleon won a decisive battle there; and in the philosophical and cultural sphere, Hegel wrote the Phenomenology of Spirit. We analyse the importance of the double battle of Jena-Auerstädt, assessing the geopolitical and social consequences and its effect on the expansion of the political ideals of the French Revolution. We also examine the importance, both inside the German-speaking world and as regards the development of Western culture as a whole, of the intellectual circle (also double) of Weimar and Jena with Goethe, Herder, Schiller, Reinhold, Fichte, Schelling, Hegel, and Friedrich and August Schlegel. We analyse the duality and identity of German Romanticism and Idealism. We also explore these traits in Hegel’s Phenomenology, showing that it can be regarded as a true macrophilosophical synthesis of the era, the crowning point of the golden years of the University of Jena and even of Weimar. |
