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.

San Agustín, El Neoplatonismo, Heidegger y el Olvido de Plotino

In his lessons of the Summer semester of 1921 called “St. Augustin and the Neo-Platonism"; M. Heidegger interprets the Bishop of Hipona from what he calls “the factitive experience of life". This experience would be indissolubly associated to became that turns the human existence historically placed in an ephemeral and transitory unit. Centering in the Book X of Confessiones, Heidegger makes a critic to the Augustinian notion of “memory", narrowly tied to his famous conception on time developed in the Book XIth of the same write. The philosopher from Freiburg affirms that, though Augustin has overcome the merely psychological conceptions about the memory, still he remains confined in the perspective of language of the traditional Metaphysics. This work tries to trace de Neo-Platonic roots of Augustinian thinking, ignored in the analysis of Heidegger, principally regarding Plotinus legacy and of another Platonic Christianized as Mario Victorinus, and to research this way in what measure that interpretation results faithful to the principal Augustinian intuitions.

La persona como sujeto de la metafísica

En el horizonte del pensamiento contemporáneo, Martín Heidegger subrayó la necesidad de una reflexión fundamental acerca del hombre, fundamentación que, sin embargo, él mismo no llegó a desplegar completamente. No obstante ha puesto de relieve la necesidad de una interpretación del hombre que llegue hasta sus estructuras ontológicas fundamentales, relacionadas al problema del ser, que, en su caso, reviste una modalidad distinta al ser de las demás cosas, aún, de los demás vivientes, motivo por el cual la pregunta acerca del hombre es también metafísica. No pretenderemos dar una respuesta acabada a estos puntos de vista, ni los abordaremos desde su propia comprensión de la ontología, del hombre y del ser. En su lugar nos propondremos recoger algunas perspectivas ya presentes en el pensamiento medieval que puedan aportar, al menos en principio, una orientación hacia su desarrollo. La comunicación quedará configurada por dos características: abordará la problemática de la relación entre naturaleza y persona desde una perspectiva preferentemente metafísica a partir del Comentario a las Sentencias de Pedro Lombardo de Tomás de Aquino; y sugerirá algunas tendencias en este campo que ponen de relieve la preeminencia de la persona en el conjunto de su pensamiento filosófico.
