Human Life in Motion presents for the first time the previously
unpublished transcripts of the seminars on Aristotle Martin
Heidegger gave in the 1920s. These transcripts reveal much about
the evolution of his thought during that time. Detailed student
transcripts for these seminars appear among the papers of one of
Heidegger's students, Helene Weiss, held today in the Special
Collections Department of Stanford University. Analyzing and
organizing hundreds of pages of these transcripts written by
different students, Francisco Gonzalez brilliantly reconstructs the
original seminars. He summarizes what Heidegger presented and
claimed in each class. Gonzalez also throws into relief the
overarching philosophical significance of the seminars, showing how
the different interpretative moves or claims are connected and
where they lead, something which in turn requires explicating them
in the context of both the Aristotelian texts discussed and
Heidegger's own thought during this period. Essential reading for
students and scholars of Heidegger or Aristotle, Human Life in
Motion is a publishing event that forces a reconsideration of the
thought and legacy of both philosophers.
This book presents a review of preparation methods for
environmentally friendly nanocomposite materials. It describes the
combination of biodegradable and biocompatible polymer matrices
with nanoparticles, leading to finished products preferably
prepared by sustainable methods. The chapters also describe how the
addition of synthetic or non-biodegradable particles can influence
the properties of the final products. This book presents a general
overview of the process from the preparation to the final
applications of green nanocomposites. In addition, the book also
details the trends, challenges, and prospects of this type of
composites. The content can be divided into two sections. The first
one presents a brief introduction about the importance of keeping
the environment free of non-degradable pollutants. It also
describes fundamentals, trends, and general applications of green
materials. The second section focuses on the description of some of
the green-based materials most used nowadays and other innovative
materials, just like elastomers of natural origin. The book
comprises the reintegration of these materials into the
environment, followed by some biomedical, biological, and energy
storage applications.
In this international and interdisciplinary collection of critical
essays, distinguished contributors examine a crucial premise of
traditional readings of Plato's dialogues: that Plato's own
doctrines and arguments can be read off the statements made in the
dialogues by Socrates and other leading characters. The authors
argue in general and with reference to specific dialogues, that no
character should be taken to be Plato's mouthpiece. This is
essential reading for students and scholars of Plato. Visit our

La Planificacion de Proyectos, es una de las actividades que exige
mayores competencias y recursos para que la misma se cumpla con el
mejor rendimiento y balance en todas sus variables u objetivos. Si
a estas condiciones se suman las diversas fuentes de entropia en
los Proyectos, se abre un panorama propicio para disenar y contar
con una herramienta de uso practico y facil de aplicar, que apoye a
los Lideres de Proyectos en la evaluacion de la calidad y
completitud de la definicion del alcance y planificacion de
proyectos, contribuyendo asi a la toma de decisiones en sus
primeras fases. Este es el objetivo fundamental de la metodologia
denominada P.D.R.I., que por sus siglas en ingles significa
"Project Definition Rating Index," la cual con poca competencia o
alternativas en el area de Planificacion de Proyectos, se ha
implementado con exito y adoptado como estandar en grandes empresas
relacionadas con la Industria y la Construccion. De aqui, la
propuesta que recoge este texto, de extender estas satisfactorias
experiencias con la necesaria adaptacion de la metodologia al
importante mundo de los Proyectos Informaticos de Desarrollo de
Sistemas de Informacion."
In a critique of Heidegger that respects his path of thinking,
Francisco Gonzalez looks at the ways in which Heidegger engaged
with Plato's thought over the course of his career and concludes
that, owing to intrinsic requirements of Heidegger's own
philosophy, he missed an opportunity to conduct a real dialogue
with Plato that would have been philosophically fruitful for us
all.
Examining in detail early texts of Heidegger's reading of Plato
that have only recently come to light, Gonzalez, in parts 1 and 2,
shows there to be certain affinities between Heidegger's and
Plato's thought that were obscured in his 1942 essay "Plato's
Doctrine of Truth," on which scholars have exclusively relied in
interpreting what Heidegger had to say about Plato. This more
nuanced reading, in turn, helps Gonzalez provide in part 3 an
account of Heidegger's later writings that highlights the ways in
which Heidegger, in repudiating the kind of metaphysics he
associated with Plato, took a direction away from dialectic and
dialogue that left him unable to pursue those affinities that could
have enriched Heidegger's own philosophy as well as Plato's. "A
genuine dialogue with Plato," Gonzalez argues, "would have forced
Heidegger] to go in certain directions where he did not want to go
and could not go without his own thinking undergoing a radical
transformation."
The "theory of forms" usually attributed to Plato is one of the
most famous of philosophical theories, yet it has engendered such
controversy in the literature on Plato that scholars even debate
whether or not such a theory exists in his texts. Plato's Forms:
Varieties of Interpretation is an ambitious work that brings
together, in a single volume, widely divergent approaches to the
topic of the forms in Plato's dialogues. With contributions rooted
in both Anglo-American and Continental philosophy, the book
illustrates the contentious role the forms have played in Platonic
scholarship and suggests new approaches to a central problem of
Plato studies.
