Religión, utopismo y realismo político en el renacimiento

This article examines the opposition between utopism and political realism in the context of Renaissance. First, it analyzes the question about the historical continuity or rupture of Renaissance from the Medieval imaginary. After that, it considers the question of religion in Moore ́s Utopia and Campanella’s City of the Sun and compares them with Machiavelli’s texts. Finally, it thinks about the relationship between Renaissance utopism and religion.

Razones para la guerra en la sociedad global

In this article I develop an analysis in the context of the global society, a context split into its practical subsystems, due to the prevailing logic of confrontation and violence. Some of its expressions are studied, in the fields of international law and geopolitical relations between given societies. Also discussed are analyses of the relations between religions and cultural systems, from the perspective of mutual destruction logistics. In a context of violent interactions through diverse levels of social reality, I claim for a different strategy to guide social practices, from the recognition of universal human rights for concrete human beings, understanding that such recognition implies reducing the historical production of deaths, and the magnification of human life and of the conditions for its reproduction.
