Segundo a autora,
Este libro es la declaración de un compromiso. En un momento en el que la filosofía y la política buscan la comunidad como algo a recuperar y lo común como algo a producir colectivamente, este libro propone un paso atrás: descubrir el mundo común en el que ya estamos, queramos o no, implicados. Parte de la pregunta por el nosotros y desemboca en una voz en singular capaz de decir «esta vida es mía».
Apropiarnos de nuestra vida es, hoy, liberar la riqueza del mundo que compartimos. Para ello, el pensamiento crítico necesita ganar una nueva perspectiva: la de un cuerpo involucrado en la vida como problema común.
Marina Garcés (Barcelona, 1973) trabaja como profesora de filosofía en la Universidad de Zaragoza. En 2002 publicó "En las prisiones de lo posible" en esta misma editorial y desde entonces ha llevado a cabo una amplia labor de experimentación con el pensamiento y con la escritura, principalmente a través del proyecto colectivo Espai en Blanc.

Noticia sobre encontro multilateral de estudos kantianos no Brasil
IV Kant Multilateral Colloquium
Tiradentes, Brazil, August 11 – 14, 2013
Kant and the metaphors of reason
2013 Call for Papers
This colloquium gives continuity to an initiative taken by Brazilian, Portuguese and Italian philosophers to promote exchanges between Kantian scholars from different countries. The first edition, titled Kant and philosophical tradition - Kant Today,took place in Verona and Padua, in January 2008. The second colloquium, held in Lisbon in September 2009, was centered on the question “What is Man? - Was ist der Mensch?”. The third meeting was held in Mainz, in October 2011, with the theme Kant and antinomical thinking.
The IV Kant Multilateral Colloquium will be held at the Cultural Campus ofUniversidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG) in Tiradentes, Minas Gerais, Brazil, on August 11-14, 2013. Paper proposals dealing with any aspect of Kant’s philosophy — theoretical, practical, aesthetical or anthropological — are welcome. Special attention will be given to papers related to the theme of this meeting, Kant and the metaphors of reason, which is also, by the way, the title of a book by Prof. Leonel Ribeiro dos Santos and, thereby, a tribute to him).
Kants philosophical language, suspended between innovation and tradition, is surprisingly rich in the use of metaphors to express its conceptual innovations as well as its criticism of traditional views. Kant, however, never developed a theory of metaphor and has even warned against the use of "audacious metaphors". Thus, although one must recognize his efforts to "purify" his philosophical writing from merely metaphorical explanations and build his arguments on strictly conceptual grounds, Kant does not hesitate to use metaphors in order to make possible an easier and more intuitive understanding of many important aspects of his thought in the most diverse spheres - theoretical, practical, aesthetical or anthropological. Several metaphors can easily be enumerated: the characterization of the critiques as a “court or tribunal of reason”, the comparison of his new method of thinking in metaphysics to the Copernican revolution in astronomy, the description of metaphysical speculation as an “endless ocean” where no terra firma can be discovered, the comparison of the fruitless attempts of pure reason in metaphysics to the efforts of “the light dove” to fly higher in the absence of air, the use of analogies in the formulation of the categorical imperative, e.g. the comparison of moral law both to a law of nature and to the law of a “kingdom of ends”, the explanation of aesthetic reflective judgment as based on a “play of the imagination and the understanding”, as well as several other architectural, geographical, physiological, musical, and zoological metaphors. In a more generic sense, one could say that thinking about the use of metaphors in Kant, involves us in the still current and important task of thinking about the limits of language and discursive thought, about the creativity of language and the role of imagination in philosophy.
The official languages of the colloquium are Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, English, French and German. Talks can be given in any of these official languages, but an English version should be provided for power point projection. The length of each talk is approximately 30 minutes, followed by 15 minutes for discussion.
Proposals should include: title, extended abstract (1000 – 1500 words, references not included), selected bibliography, and contact information of the presenter (name, institutional affiliation, phone numbers, and e-mail address). Please identify the area under which you wish your paper to be considered (theoretical, practical, etc.). Abstracts should be submitted in English.
There will be also two graduate student talks, each 20 minutes followed by 10 minutes for discussion. Students enrolled in any philosophy program are invited to submit papers on the theme of the colloquium. The student speakers will have accommodation provided free of charge and their colloquium fee will be waived.
Submissions should be sent as attachments (doc, docx, pdf) to:
Deadline for submission: March 31, 2013.
