Bioética en la experimentación científica con animales: cuestión de reglamentación o de actitud humana
(Corporación Universitaria Lasallista, 2012) Garcés Giraldo, Luís Fernando; Giraldo Zuluaga, Conrado
The use of animals in scientific experiments has been, and will be, vital for human life and, from the benefits obtained from these research works, the animal wellbeing that influences public health will be achieved. Animals have made easier, for the science, the knowledge of biology and physiology to diagnose and make the treatments that improve the life quality of human beings. Therefore, the use of animals in experiments and learning must be made respectfully and with consideration for the animal´s reactions and its ethology. For this purpose, there are rules that have been widely spread all over the world and, despite the fact they are theoretically well sustained, they have not been well interiorized by humans, regarding the responsibility they have towards other beings living in the planet. The ethical committees for experimentation with animals in our country make big efforts to make a bioethical use of animals in scientific experiments possible, but there is still a long way to go from their decisions to the realities currently taking place in research works.
Bioética y tecnología digital: una puerta a la investigación desde la perspectiva de las ciencias sociales
(Corporación Universitaria Lasallista, 2014) Jiménez Jaramillo, Gonzalo; Giraldo Zuluaga, Conrado
This article approaches the advance of technology as an argument for social research, looking at the way –from a bioethical perspective of care- its development marks trends and defines the profile of the prospective for other disciplines from the social sciences fields, making a revision to the aspects related to education, work, organizations, culture, market, ecology and health that are committed to technology and that, from the 20 th century (for the analysis in hand), are presented as markers in several focuses about the social transformation´s prospective. The authors have concentrated on analyzing the technological advances as an atmosphere to create dynamics and produce scenarios for social research, favored by the degree of commitment these dynamics have with those advances.

Distancia a la frontera e impacto asimétrico en los sectores económicos por las políticas de desregulación
(Corporación Universitaria Lasallista, Editorial Lasallista, 2016) Jiménez Jaramillo, Gonzalo; Giraldo Zuluaga, Conrado
In this article the impact of the deregulation policies proposed by the World Bank in order to increase the economies ́ capacity to make businesses in the trade of goods and services are analyzed. Objective. To identify the asymmetric impact on the main sectors and the economic consequences on the reduction of poverty due to the way the deregulation policies are designed. Materials and methods. By the use of statistic tools, correlation analyses have been performed on the historical measurements compiled by the World Bank in the period between the years 2010-2012. Results. The deregulation policies have a different effect on the trade of goods, in comparison to the trade of services. Conclusion. The analysis of the results shows that such policies help countries to have a better performance in the trade of goods, but not in that of services. This is catastrophic for the goal of reducing poverty, due to the fact that the trade of services generates more wealth, while the trade of goods produces marginal gains and economic backwardness
El cuidado de sí y de los otros en Foucault, principio orientador para la construcción de una bioética del cuidado
(2014-04-04) Garcés Giraldo, Luís Fernando; Giraldo Zuluaga, Conrado
According to Foucault’s thought, self care is ethical by definition and involves the relationships with others, because self care enables people to be an occupant of the city, a community member or to have inter-individual relationships, in a convenient position. The problem of the relationship with others is present throughout the development of self care. From this base, and also from biopolitics, this paper reflects to build guiding principles for care bioethics, with Foucault’s thought. Even though there are no evidences to say that Foucault spoke about bioethics, his reflections about biopolitics get in the bioethics area and provide elements concerning this discipline, regarded by many authors as recent and yet to be built. The relationship between bioethics and biopolitics, implicitly given by Foucault, is shown in this reflection.
Las humanidades encierran un tesoro
(Corporación Universitaria Lasallista, 2017) Soto Posada, Gonzalo; Fernández Ochoa, Luis Fernando; Giraldo Zuluaga, Conrado; Osorio Herrera, Bayron León
In times when the need for humanist reflection in the academic training of the new generations is questioned, it is convenient to reflect on the meaning of all things human and on what we have come to refer to as humanities. A review on the meaning of humanitas is hence conducted, in the first section, through a brief historical overview that purposely endeavors to be a concise, archaeological panorama of the subject under discussion. In the second section, a reflection on the humanitas / sciences relationship is offered, attempting to persuade about the reciprocity needed for the understanding of what is human itself. The third section adds to said relationship the ethical issue – the dignity of the human being whose ethical ontological condition is inherent in their freedom. The fourth section shows the need for humanities in times of conflict and subsequent conciliation. The emergence of aesthetics and care as elements that contribute to broadening the sense of humanities, as well as to ensuring their validity is explored in the fifth and sixth sections, respectively
La responsabilidad profesional y ética en la experimentación con animales: una mirada desde la prudencia como virtud
(Corporación Universitaria Lasallista, 2013-10-22) Garcés Giraldo, Luís Fernando; Giraldo Zuluaga, Conrado
Performing experiments with animals requires that professionals regard their research works as rational acts and aim to concrete, logic and prudent (phronesis) acts. This intellectual virtue is the one Aristotle speaks about in his Nicomachean Ethics, which alludes the right intention in human acts. This paper reflects about phronesis and the way it makes a contribution to the scientists who work with animals in order to help them taking reflected decisions that are sustained on the information required and necessary in order to avoid harming other life forms. Intellectual virtues are fundamental for the development of science that aims to find the truth and the right reasoning. The good habits that can make intellectual virtues more perfect are a solid base to form the researcher´s character.
La sabiduría en Aristóteles: conocimiento de principios y causas en el científico que experimenta con animales
(2014) Garcés Giraldo, Luís Fernando; Giraldo Zuluaga, Conrado
Aristotelian wisdom is understood as the intellectual virtue that, as it is simultaneously science and intellect, acknowledges the principles and the causes of the things that must be useful for oneself. Therefore for Aristotle a wise person is the one who knows everything as much as possible, possessing the science of the universe in a maximum degree. Aristotle tells us about the way we must interpret prudence and wisdom, by saying that they are both different, but mutually complementary. This reflection, in short, is the one approached by this article, by going into detail about the theory of the Aristotelian virtues and the "supreme" virtue among them, which is wisdom (as it is regarded by Aristotle) and its influence on researchers that conduct experiments on animals, given the fact that those researchers must observe universal ethical principles to develop their research works.
La virtud: la recta razón en el profesional que experimenta con animales
(2014-04-04) Garcés Giraldo, Luís Fernando; Giraldo Zuluaga, Conrado
Virtue according to Aristotle’s thought is a medium term with regard to us regula-ted by right reason, as a prudent man. would act. It is that mode of being by which man becomes good and through which he performs his function very well. Virtue is directly related to how people act; these steps or actions should lead to a good, and that good must be a generator of happiness in man. It depends just on man himself that the actions he performs are done well and according to virtue. Thus, it is expected that the scientist who experiments with animals to act according to virtue, to have a permanent disposition to work according to right reason, and to discuss what is good, particularly what does good especially to other forms of life which share with us the mystery of life. The Aristotelian virtuous man must search that his actions are mediated by reason to choose what is good , not for himself but for the common good.
Metodología para la deliberación en el modelo bioético personalista con fundamentación en la virtud
(Corporación Universitaria Lasallista, 2014-10-21) Garcés Giraldo, Luís Fernando; Giraldo Zuluaga, Conrado
A methodology to solve cases under the ontological personalist bioethics model based on virtue is proposed in this paper, aiming to clarify the procedure at the moment of the ethical judgment and allow the provision of recommendations and the final choice for every situation. This methodology should be taken into account by the committees that deliberate in experiments with animals, in order to have clear judgments within the bioethical model proposed. Scientists who perform experiments with animals must be aware of the fact that the acts performed in such experiments must be mediated by virtuous actions which, one way or another, will extoll thir work and practices for the good of the planet, including mankind´s wellbeing. Animals must be treated carefully and personalistic bioethics based on virtue must advance along with excellent deeds, thus extolling the behavior of men to an actually human position.
De Ortega a Zambrano: Las huellas de un maestro
(Corporación Universitaria Lasallista, 2015-08-24) García Restrepo, Gladis del Socorro; Giraldo Zuluaga, Conrado
In María Zambrano´s work, we try to disclosure some of the footprints left by her master, José Ortega y Gasset. Those footprints are important to build the axis of her philosophy practice, which is the poetic reasoning. In order to do so, we consult her works The Horizons of Liberalism, Towards a Knowledge of Soul and Delirium and Destiny, among others. These texts contribute to get key elements necessary at the moment of trying to understand the substantial elements that accompanied this philosopher in her journey from the vital reasoning to the poetic reasoning.
El realismo Davidsoniano: una posibilidad en medio de la discusión realismo-antirrealismo
(Corporación Universitaria Lasallista, Editorial Lasallista, 2016) Posada, Jorge Gregorio; Giraldo Zuluaga, Conrado; Rengifo-Castañeda, Carlos Adolfo
This article aims to shows Donald Davidson ́s position concerning the philosophical discussion between realism and anti-realism. For such purpose, this paper is divided into three parts: in the first, in general terms, some considerations about realism and anti-realism are presented, along with certain approaches to naturalism. In the second part, the reasons that lead to anti-realism, according to Davidson, are shown. For him, it is a popular version of the conceptual relativism. Besides, the attempts of some philosophies to avoid skepticism are also shown, as they necessarily lead to anti-realistic positions. Finally, part three describes why, for Davidson, an adequate language theory can question anti-realism, and the simplest and most natural convictions on what is real, survive.
Voluntad e intelecto: encuentros y desencuentros entre Tomás de Aquino y Duns Escoto
(Corporación Universitaria Lasallista, Editorial Lasallista, 2018) Rengifo Castañeda, Carlos Adolfo; Giraldo Zuluaga, Conrado; Cañaveral Londoño, Diana Carolina
Introduction. The Will and the Intellect, two fundamental powers that work in the spirit of men, determining in one way or another their choices, have been developed and understood in different ways by different philosophers throughout history, among them, the medieval philosophers St. Thomas Aquinas and John Duns Scotus, whose thinking on these matters is analyzed in this article, from references such as the "Theological Summa" of Aquinas, "Giovanni" of Duns Scoto, "A bibliographical introduction" by Todescan, and" The life of the spirit"by Arendt, among others. Objective. The objective of this article is to analyze the concepts of Will and Intellect within the thought of Thomas Aquinas and Duns Scotus, in order to identify the points of encounter and disagreement between both authors. Material and methods. : This analysis is part of a qualitative research with a hermeneutic approach, which used documentary review as an instrument of interpretation. Results. It was established that the main difference between the thinking of both authors, refers to the primacy that one power has over the other: in Thomas Aquinas the intellect over desire, while in Duns Scotus the will prevails over the intellect. Conclusions. For the effects of the prevalence of one power over the other, issues such as free will play a fundamental role and, above all, the way in which both powers act in the psyche of man at the moment of decision making.
