El tema del tiempo en la "Expositio in physicam" de Walter Burley

Resumen: El trabajo permite reconstruir el itinerario de la reacción inmediata del ultra realismo de Walter Burley frente a la crítica nominalista, tomando base en la teoría física y particularmente, en el tema del tiempo. Entendemos que el análisis comparativo de las doctrinas de Burley y de Ockham permitirá arrojar cierta luz sobre la historia de los primeros e importantes enfrentamientos al ockhamismo, procurando conformar una intelección nueva del siglo XIV donde Burley pasaría a ser un personaje de interés al motivar la reflexión de una figura como la de Ockham. Centramos nuestro análisis en torno a dos tópicos: aquel vinculado con la determinación del concepto de tiempo y su distinción del movimiento; y en segundo término, consideraremos el problema de la unicidad o pluralidad de tiempos. El trabajo propone tentativamente que ambos autores conocieron mutuamente sus doctrinas, se leyeron y corrigieron recíprocamente; y las profundas diferencias que conforman sus sistemas deben buscarse en una fundamentación gnoseo-ontológica diversa.

Legal activism for ensuring environmental justice

This article reviews some of the roles environmental lawyers have played in ensuring environmental justice in Bangladesh. It leans on law and social movement theories to explicate the choice (and ensuing success) of litigation as a movement strategy in Bangladesh. The activists successfully moved the courts to read the right to a decent environment into the fundamental right to life, and this has had the far-reaching effect of constituting a basis for standing for the activists and other civil society organisations. The activists have also sought to introduce emerging international law principles into the jurisprudence of the courts. These achievements notwithstanding, the paper notes that litigation is not a sustainable way to institute enduring environmental protection in any jurisdiction and recommends the utilisation of the reputation and recognition gained through litigation to deploy or encourage more sustainable strategies.

Burley! (sound design)

A young tetra fish, one of a million in her school, just wants some attention. Feeling lonely and bored, she is attracted by the manic antics of a gang of older fish who spend the hours inventing new extreme sports. She begins a quest to gain their acceptance, but at what cost?
