La FILOSOFÍA APLICADA consiste en aquella práctica profesional en la que un especialista, el filósofo, ayuda a individuos y/o grupos a analizar críticamente los elementos básicos de sus problemas y cuestiones existenciales. Utiliza herramientas argumentales, lógicas, comprensivas (hermenéuticas) y experienciales para ayudar a la persona a profundizar en las raíces de aquello que le crea inquietud. Actualmente, los filósofos aplicados han extendido su campo de acción hasta las prisiones, hospitales, escuelas y universidades, consultas o ámbitos lúdicos como bibliotecas, cafeterías o centros de enología. La FILOSOFÍA CLÍNICA es una forma de ayuda desarrollada fuera de los espacios académicos de la Medicina y de la Psicología. Posee tres momentos esenciales: la exposición de la historia de vida de la persona para el delineamiento de su red intelectiva, la planificación clínica y la aplicación de los submodos o procedimientos clínicos. Entre las terapias verbales, es la que más se aproxima a la tradición filosófica, tomando de ella varios conceptos que, en cualquier caso, organiza de forma peculiar. Su justificación se basa en el método fenomenológico y en varias corrientes psicológicas. Aunque se utiliza, esencialmente, para la clínica personal, está empezando a utilizarse en grupos y en empresas. Después de veinte años de experiencias en Brasil, comienza a llegar a otros países. El objetivo inicial de este libro fue ofrecer una introducción a sendos campos y vertebrar una reflexión sobre sus bases orteguianas (y zambranianas) en el ámbito español y brasileño. A tal fin, se une a las contribuciones de Packter y Barrientos la de uno de los especialistas internacionales reconocidos en la filosofía de JOSÉ ORTEGA Y GASSET: José Mauricio de Carvalho.

In the introduction, Chanady offers an excellent historical review of the topic. Essays by Enrique Dussel, Josâe Rabasa (see item #bi 98003988#), Franðcois Perus, and Iris Zavala are especially noteworthy"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

Latin American philosophy is best understood as a type of applied philosophy devoted to issues related to the culture and politics of Latin America. This introduction provides a comprehensive overview of its central topics. It explores not only the unique insights offered by Latin American thinkers into the traditional pre-established fields of Western philosophy, but also the many 'isms' developed as a direct result of Latin American thought. Many concern matters of practical ethics and social and political philosophy, such as Lascasianism, Arielism, Bolívarism, modest and immodest feminisms, republicanism, positivism, Marxism, and liberationism. But there are also meta-philosophical 'isms' such as originalism and perspectivism. Together with clear and accessible discussions of the major issues and arguments, the book offers helpful summaries, suggestions for further reading, and a glossary of terms. It will be valuable for all readers wanting to explore the richness and diversity of Latin American philosophy.
