Jean-Martin Charcot - Neurologist by Avocation, Nephrologist by Yearning

In an age of medical advances and specialization, Jean-Martin Charcot (1825-1893) helped found the discipline of neurology and in 1882 was appointed the first professor of Diseases of the Nervous System in France. As an investigator with broad interests and vast knowledge Charcot contributed to several other disciplines. An early mentor and dominant figure in Charcot's formative years was Pierre Rayer (1793-1867), famous for his seminal contributions to the study of the kidney, who gifted Charcot with his passion for clinical pathological correlations and likely a yearning for the study of kidney diseases. Famous for the clarity and incisiveness of his formal teaching presentations, Charcot lectured on the kidney at the Faculty of Medicine in Paris in 1877. Translated into English and published as a book titled Lectures on Bright's Disease, they became widely accessible and quoted in the literature through the present. In addition, at a time that he was already concentrating on the study of neurological disorders, Charcot maintained his life-long interest in the kidney and published original studies on the pathological changes of the kidney in gout and experimental lead poisoning, as well as supporting a study of hysterical ischuria by his students.

Persona y naturaleza : de Pedro Lombardo a Martin Heidegger

Pese a los indicios que podrían encontrarse en la filosofía griega, la noción de persona es de origen netamente cristiano y no pudo haber sido formulada sino dentro de ese horizonte de pensamiento. El hombre ha sido creado a imagen de Dios y es persona porque, en primer término, Dios lo es. Aquí se enlazan, durante el medioevo, las cuestiones antropológicas y teológicas (trinitarias y cristológicas). Un ejemplo paradigmático se encuentra en las Sentencias de Pedro Lombardo y sus comentadores, entre los que hemos reparado especialmente en Tomás de Aquino. En este contexto, “naturaleza" (divina o humana) y “persona" son nociones íntimamente vinculadas, pues es propio de tales naturalezas el existir y manifestarse como seres personales. Esa relación, sin embargo, se pierde durante la modernidad, época en que persona y naturaleza se vuelven términos antagónicos. Martin Heidegger, agudo crítico de esa transformación en la historia del pensar, propone una concepción de lo humano que, no obstante su “ateísmo metodológico", finalmente parece aproximarse a la noción cristiana de persona.
