Dalmati, Margherita. Lettere agli amici fiorentini. Edited by Sara Moran. Florence: Firenze University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.36253/978-88-6453-634-7.
Full textAbstract:
Il fortunato ritrovamento ad Atene degli epistolari di Luzi, Traverso e Macrí a Margherita Dalmati ha consentito di completare con quelle dei corrispondenti le lettere della poetessa e clavicembalista greca conservate negli archivi di Firenze ed Urbino. I 341 pezzi disponibili grazie alle ricerche di Sara Moran permettono di ricostruire i suoi contatti con i grandi protagonisti della Firenze letteraria del dopoguerra, mostrandone i legami anche con l’ambiente romano e milanese. Negli anni del «disgelo» la corrispondenza ci parla della militanza della Dalmati nella lotta per l’indipendenza di Cipro, dell’amicizia con Cristina Campo, delle traduzioni in neo-greco della poesia di Luzi. A scandire gli anni 60 e 70 è invece la sua promozione della poesia italiana in Grecia e di quella greca in Italia tramite la collaborazione a riviste e la traduzione per Einaudi, assieme a Nelo Risi, delle poesie di Kavafi s. Le lettere, tenere, divertenti, ironiche e affettuose, delle quattro voci coinvolte nel libro illuminano momenti importanti non solo della cultura del secondo Novecento ma della vita dei singoli protagonisti, mentre al centro e intorno a tutti si muove, con voce cantante e musicale, un’incantevole figura di donna di cui finora si conosceva poco più del nome.

Full textAbstract:
Ancora un volume, Antinoupolis III, che ha per oggetto un’area archeologica estremamente importante nell’Egitto greco-romano: la città fondata sulla riva sinistra del Nilo nel 130 d.C. da Adriano in onore di Antinoos. Nelle oltre 700 pagine dei due tomi che costituiscono questo volume si propongono, nel primo, studi dedicati a materiali archeologici quali ceramiche sigillate africane, anfore per vino di produzione locale (LRA 7), mortai litici, frammenti sporadici di pietre ornamentali, una coppa in vetro retro dipinta, tessuti della tipologia cosiddetta ‘copta’, analisi di antropologia forense sui resti ossei di una tal Teodosia, la cui cappella funebre era stata scoperta ed illustrata negli scavi condotti sul sito dell’Università di Firenze nella metà degli anni Trenta dello scorso secolo. Nel secondo tomo si presentano edizioni di nuovi papiri, pergamene, ostraca, che riportano testi costituiti da documenti della vita quotidiana o della cultura letteraria classica e cristiana. Le lingue interessate sono il greco, il copto e l’arabo. Novità di rilievo sono rappresentate da iscrizioni, per lo più funerarie, ancora in queste tre lingue. La documentazione è testimonianza della vita che, soprattutto in età tardo-antica, continuava in quel che restava di una grande metropoli romana in una delle province più importanti dell’impero, l’Egitto.

Tolstoy, Leo. Anna Karenina. Translated by Rosamund Bartlett. Oxford University Press, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/owc/9780198748847.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
‘Love… it means too much to me, far more than you can understand.’ At its simplest, Anna Karenina is a love story. It is a portrait of a beautiful and intelligent woman whose passionate love for a handsome officer sweeps aside all other ties - to her marriage and to the network of relationships and moral values that bind the society around her. The love affair of Anna and Vronsky is played out alongside the developing romance of Kitty and Levin, and in the character of Levin, closely based on Tolstoy himself, the search for happiness takes on a deeper philosophical significance. One of the greatest novels ever written, Anna Karenina combines penetrating psychological insight with an encyclopedic depiction of Russian life in the 1870s. The novel takes us from high society St Petersburg to the threshing fields on Levin's estate, with unforgettable scenes at a Moscow ballroom, the skating rink, a race course, a railway station. It creates an intricate labyrinth of connections that is profoundly satisfying, and deeply moving. Rosamund Bartlett's translation conveys Tolstoy's precision of meaning and emotional accuracy in an English version that is highly readable and stylistically faithful. Like her acclaimed biography of Tolstoy, it is vivid, nuanced, and compelling.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the development of African diasporic identities in colonial Peru by focusing on the case of Ana de la Calle. In 1719, Ana de la Calle paid a notary in the northern Peruvian city of Trujillo to compose her will. She identified herself as a free morena of casta lucumí from the Yoruba-speaking interior of the Bight of Benin. Before deconstructing the terms “lucumí” and “morena” as used together by Ana de la Calle, this chapter first provides an overview of slavery and freedom in colonial Peru. It then considers lucumí as an elite status, as well as how Ana de la Calle's claim to be free and Lucumí made her unique and perhaps isolated her from other free women of color in colonial Trujillo. By analyzing why Ana de la Calle used morena and lucumí together, this chapter shows how casta terms were harnessed by both enslaved and free people of the African Diaspora.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter makes sense of Anne Conway’s account of humans’ free will and capacity to choose to sin given her commitment to the belief that creatures are naturally inclined towards the good. It does so by: first, laying out the foundations of Conway’s metaphysics, including the difference between God’s and humans’ free will; second, explaining the human’s love for that which is similar to her, even when the object loved is of a lesser degree of perfection; and third, showing how moral choices can have implications for the metaphysical natures of creatures. This chapter concludes with Conway’s theodicy, which is grounded in her belief that, despite creatures’ abilities to sin and, thus, to degenerate, God’s goodness nonetheless ensures universal salvation for all his creatures.

Full textAbstract:
The collective work is devoted to the multidimensional issue of reflection of Leo Tolstoy’s spiritual and moral views in his works. The authors reveal a deep connection between the writer’s spiritual movement (mainly in the 1860–1870s — the time of creating great novels “War and Peace” and “Anna Karenina”) and the creative history, poetics and problematics of his works. The originality of Tolstoy’s moral concepts, the peculiarities of their relation to the national spiritual tradition, as well as to the contemporary ideological movements, are examined. The book is basically an analytical interpretation of findings and discoveries of a team of specialists engaged in the preparation of the Complete Works by Leo Tolstoy in 100 volumes, which is carried out at IWL RAS.

Full textAbstract:
Few other semantic fields pervade Plato’s oeuvre, from the earliest to the latest works, in such a definitive and ambivalent way as that of mimesis. From the philosophy of language to aesthetics and moral psychology, from metaphysics to cosmology and theology: in a strikingly large array of philosophical subject areas, the semantics of mimesis have crucial significance in Plato. The conference volume “Platonic Mimesis Revisited” offers a comprehensive and context-sensitive re-examination of mimesis in all relevant dialogues. Unlike earlier monographic studies, it brings together a considerable variety of scholarly perspectives from Philosophy and Classics, thus providing a broad tableau of modern approaches to the topic.With contributions byMichele Abbate, Alexandra V.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter presents three different aspects of the moral relevance of diet. It begins with eating for virtue and considers some discussions in the sixteenth and seventeenth century of how diet impacts philosophy—either via its impact upon physical health or more directly via its impact upon spiritual well-being. Specifically, it considers two foundational figures of early modern philosophy, Michel de Montaigne and René Descartes, and then turns to Anne Conway, who unifies elements of their views along with elements of traditional theology to present an account of the spiritual significance of diet. The chapter then turns to eating virtuously, both via the moral consideration of animals in the eighteenth century and the political consequences of luxury and diet. It concludes by considering how Malthus posed a pressing problem to those who thought that an age of reason might be at hand if one just heeded the cry of nature.

Full textAbstract:
Bis zum Jahr 2050 wird es etwa 23 Millionen über 65-Jährige in Deutschland geben. Dadurch wird es gesellschaftlich wie individuell zunehmend notwendig, gute Voraussetzungen für das Rentenalter als Lebensphase zu schaffen. Um es bei guter Gesundheit und Lebensqualität zu verbringen, sollte bereits die Zeit vor dem Übergang zur Vorbereitung genutzt werden. Insbesondere Männer, die sich oft stark mit ihrer Berufstätigkeit identifizieren, sind gefordert, ein hohes Gesundheitspotenzial und gute soziale Bedingungen verantwortungsbewusst aufzubauen. Der Vierte Deutsche Männergesundheitsbericht setzt bei einer fundierten Bestandsaufnahme der Situation der Männer zwischen 55 und 74 Jahren an. Aus ihr ergeben sich wichtige Themen für die Politik, für die Soziale Arbeit und für den gesellschaftlichen Diskurs insgesamt: die Situation der Erwerbsarbeit zehn Jahre vor der Berentung, die Übergangsphase sowie gesundheitsfördernde Projekte für Männer vor und nach dem Renteneintritt.

Gill, Catie. ‘Harden not thy Heart’. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198814221.003.0003.
Full textAbstract:
In 1660, the Quaker Anne Gilman encouraged the Stuart ruler Charles II to govern judiciously, warning: ‘harden not thy heart’. Monarchy’s ability to inexorably remove power from ‘the people’ was concerning; so too were the ruler’s bawdy predilections. The pamphlets explored in this chapter (c.1660–5) spotlight a group of women who endeavoured to remind the ruler that he is accountable not only to the populace, but to God. Pamphleteering of this kind expresses a combination of moral, theological, and political commitments, as writers pointedly sought to inspire in Charles a thoroughgoing reformation. The tendency of some writers, it is argued, is theologically Antinomian. In surveying this writing, this chapter offers a new approach to how women’s political critique combines with theological principle in the Restoration period.

Full textAbstract:
The London theatres in the first decade of the eighteenth century experienced changes in the types of entertainment offered and in their staging. Many of the stars of the previous decades including Thomas Betterton, Elizabeth Barry, and Anne Bracegirdle retired from the stage. New productions emphasized music and dancing; so popular was musical drama that a public competition was held to create the music for Congreve’s libretto The Judgment of Paris. Foreign singers, especially from Italy, were often paid higher salaries than English actors, leading to tensions, and while operas sung in Italian were very popular with audiences, critics such as Joseph Addison writing in the Spectator deplored the use of spectacle and music over script and moral. One of the most popular new playwrights of the decade was Susanna Centlivre.

Shiffrin, Seana Valentine. Democratic Law. Edited by Hannah Ginsborg. Oxford University Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190084486.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
In this book, based on her 2017 Berkeley Tanner Lectures, the author offers an original, deontological account of democracy, law, and their interrelation. Her central thesis is that democracy and democratic law have intrinsically valuable, interconnected communicative functions. Democracy and democratic law together allow us to fulfill our fundamental duties to convey to each another messages of equal respect by fashioning the sorts of public joint commitments to act that a sincere message of equal respect requires. Law and democracy are essential to each other: the aspirations of democracy cannot be realized except through a legal system, and, conversely, law can fulfill its primary function only in a democratic context. After defending these theses, she explores two doctrinal examples to illustrate how a communicative conception of democratic law would yield concrete implications. First, articulating the special democratic character of judicially articulated common law, she resists instrumental, outcome-oriented conceptions of law and defends the essential importance of the common law duty of good faith in contracts. Second, appealing to the need for law to articulate a coherent set of moral commitments, she criticizes the US Supreme Court’s approach to constitutional balancing. In a set of commentaries, Niko Kolodny, Richard R. W. Brooks, and Anna Stilz offer illuminating and sometimes provocative discussion of both the philosophical and legal aspects of Shiffrin’s discussion. The author’s responses expand on themes concerning legal compliance, commitments, communication, dissent, political participation, and the permissible range of state interests.

Full textAbstract:
‘It is impossible to explain why Yevgeny chose Liza Annenskaya, as it is always impossible to explain why a man chooses this and not that woman.’ This collection of eleven stories spans virtually the whole of Tolstoy's creative life. While each is unique in form, as a group they are representative of his style, and touch on the central themes that surface in War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Stories as different as 'The Snowstorm', 'Lucerne', 'The Diary of a Madman', and 'The Devil' are grounded in autobiographical experience. They deal with journeys of self-discovery and the moral and religious questioning that characterizes Tolstoy's works of criticism and philosophy. 'Strider' and 'Father Sergy', as well as reflecting Tolstoy's own experiences, also reveal profound psychological insights. These stories range over much of the Russian world of the nineteenth century, from the nobility to the peasantry, the military to the clergy, from merchants and cobblers to a horse and a tree. Together they present a fascinating picture of Tolstoy's skill and artistry. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Full textAbstract:
The first systematic collaboration between cognitive scientists and sports psychologists considers the mind–body relationship from the perspective of athletic skill and sports practice. This landmark work is the first systematic collaboration between cognitive scientists and sports psychologists that considers the mind–body relationship from the perspective of athletic skill and sports practice. With twenty-six chapters by leading researchers, the book connects and integrates findings from fields that range from philosophy of mind to sociology of sports. The chapters show not only that sports can tell scientists how the human mind works but also that the scientific study of the human mind can help athletes succeed. Sports psychology research has always focused on the themes, notions, and models of embodied cognition; embodied cognition, in turn, has found striking confirmation of its theoretical claims in the psychological accounts of sports performance and athletic skill. Athletic skill is a legitimate form of intelligence, involving cognitive faculties no less sophisticated and complex than those required by mathematical problem solving. After presenting the key concepts necessary for applying embodied cognition to sports psychology, the book discusses skill disruption (the tendency to “choke” under pressure); sensorimotor skill acquisition and how training correlates to the development of cognitive faculties; the intersubjective and social dimension of sports skills, seen in team sports; sports practice in cultural and societal contexts; the notion of “affordance” and its significance for ecological psychology and embodied cognition theory; and the mind's predictive capabilities, which enable anticipation, creativity, improvisation, and imagination in sports performance.

Full textAbstract:
‘he looked up wistfully in my face, and gravely asked – “Mamma, why are you so wicked?”’ The mysterious new tenant of Wildfell Hall has a dark secret. But as the captivated Gilbert Markham will discover, it is not the story circulating among local gossips. Living under an assumed name, 'Helen Graham' is the estranged wife of a dissolute rake, desperate to protect her son from his destructive influence. Her diary entries reveal the shocking world of debauchery and cruelty from which she has fled. Combining a sensational story of a man's physical and moral decline through alcohol, a study of marital breakdown, a disquisition on the care and upbringing of children, and a hard-hitting critique of the position of women in Victorian society, this passionate tale of betrayal is set within a stern moral framework tempered by Anne Brontë's optimistic belief in universal redemption. Drawing on her first-hand experiences with her brother Branwell, Brontë's novel scandalized contemporary readers. It still retains its power to shock.

Hull, Katy. The Machine Has a Soul. Princeton University Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.23943/princeton/9780691208107.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
In the interwar years, the United States grappled with economic volatility, and Americans expressed anxieties about a decline in moral values, the erosion of families and communities, and the decay of democracy. These issues prompted a profound ambivalence toward modernity, leading some individuals to turn to Italian fascism as a possible solution for the problems facing the country. This book delves into why Americans of all stripes sympathized with Italian fascism, and shows that fascism's appeal rested in the image of Mussolini's regime as “the machine which will run and has a soul” — a seemingly efficient and technologically advanced system that upheld tradition, religion, and family. This book focuses on four prominent American sympathizers: Richard Washburn Child, a conservative diplomat and Republican operative; Anne O'Hare McCormick, a distinguished New York Times journalist; Generoso Pope, an Italian-American publisher and Democratic political broker; and Herbert Wallace Schneider, a Columbia University professor of moral philosophy. In fascism's violent squads they saw youthful glamour and impeccable manners, in the megalomaniacal Mussolini they perceived someone both current and old-fashioned, and in the corporate state they witnessed a politics that could revive addled minds. They argued that with the right course of action, the United States could use fascism to take the best from modernity while withstanding its harmful effects. Investigating the motivations of American fascist sympathizers, the book offers provocative lessons about authoritarianism's appeal during times of intense cultural, social, and economic strain.

Full textAbstract:
Kāinga Tahi, Kāinga Rua surveys the many ways Māori experience home and housing across Aotearoa New Zealand. These accounts range from the broader factors shaping Māori housing aspirations through to the experiences of whānau, hapū and iwi that connect to specific sites and locations. From statistically informed analyses to more poetic renderings of the challenges and opportunities of Māori housing, the book encompasses a rich range of voices and perspectives, including many wāhine Māori authors. Opening with chapters on the wider contexts – history, land, colonisation – the book moves through to focused, and often intimate, discussions of the relationships between housing, home and identity. An expansive concluding section explores how Māori are developing housing solutions that are being called papakāinga.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter focuses on Ana Carolina's Mar de Rosas (Sea of Roses, 1977), Das Tripas Coração (Heart and Guts, 1982), and Sonho de Valsa (Dream Waltz, 1987). At a time when it was untenable to express her feminist views by way of a realist register, all three films develop a surrealist mode of expression. Indeed, Carolina's films adapt a surrealist mode of representation to critique repressive ideological constructions of femininity and seek the emancipation of the female psyche. Ultimately, her trilogy critiques those institutions and established beliefs through which presumably good, moral citizens are manufactured—the family, education, religion, romantic love, honoring the father, and the like—and reflects a desire for a new sociability and a new political system in which women are full, equal members. The gesture toward freedom in these films resonates with the second-wave women's movements and the larger struggle to escape a repressive authoritarian regime in the 1970s and 1980s.

Full textAbstract:
This volume is an edited collection of the philosophical correspondences of three English women of the eighteenth century: Mary Astell, Elizabeth Thomas, and Catharine Trotter Cockburn. The selected correspondence includes letters to and/or from John Norris, George Hickes, Mary Chudleigh, Richard Hemington, John Locke, Ann Hepburn Arbuthnot, and Edmund Law. Their epistolary exchanges range over a wide variety of philosophical subjects, from questions about the love of God and other people to the causes of sensation in the mind, the metaphysical foundations of moral obligation, and the importance of independence of judgement in one’s moral choices and actions. The volume includes a main introduction by the editor, which explains some of the key themes and developments in the eighteenth-century letters, including an increased awareness of other women’s writings and of the concerns of women as a sociopolitical group. It is argued that if we look beyond printed treatises to the content of these letters, it is possible to gain a fuller appreciation of women’s involvement in philosophical debates of the 1690s and early 1700s. To situate each woman’s thought in its historical-intellectual context, the volume includes original introductory essays for each principal figure, showing how her correspondence relates either to her contemporaries’ ideas or to her own published views. The text also provides detailed scholarly annotations, explaining obscure philosophical ideas and archaic words and phrases in the letters. Among its critical apparatus, the volume includes a note on the texts, a bibliography, and an index.

This volume is an edited collection of private letters and published epistles to and from English women philosophers of the early modern period (c. 1650–1700). It includes the letters and epistles of Margaret Cavendish, Anne Conway, Damaris Cudworth Masham, and Elizabeth Berkeley Burnet. These women were the correspondents of some of the best-known intellectuals of the period, including Constantijn Huygens, Walter Charleton, Henry More, Joseph Glanvill, John Locke, Jean Le Clerc, and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. Their epistolary exchanges range over a wide variety of philosophical subjects, from religion, moral theology, and ethics to epistemology, metaphysics, and natural philosophy. The volume includes a main introduction by the editor, which explains the significance of the letters and epistles with respect to early modern scholarship and the study of women philosophers. It is argued that this selection of texts demonstrates the intensely collaborative and gender-inclusive nature of philosophical discussion in this period. To help situate each woman’s thought in its historical-intellectual context, the volume also includes original introductory essays for each principal figure, showing how her correspondences contributed to the formation of her own views as well as those of her better-known male contemporaries. The text also provides detailed scholarly annotations, explaining obscure philosophical ideas and archaic words and phrases in the letters and epistles. Among its critical apparatus, the volume also includes a note on the texts, a bibliography, and an index.

Full textAbstract:
La región asiste a una constante sucesión de reformas procesales, producto de la irrefutable insatisfacción de la sociedad con sus sistemas de enjuiciamiento. De entre las múltiples preocupaciones que vienen aparejadas con esos movimientos reformistas destaca aquella por la independencia judicial, un tópico de indagación multidisciplinar: desde la ciencia política a la ciencia jurídica, desde la teoría del Estado a la teoría constitucional y, por cierto, a la teoría procesal. La propia conceptualización de la independencia judicial no es unívoca y, así, los acentos aparecen en distintos aspectos. Una mirada recurrente y tradicional apunta al marco institucional: la independencia judicial se asocia al “autogobierno”, a la “autonomía” e, incluso, a la “autarquía financiera”. En un sentido casi contraintuitivo, se define la independencia judicial como la “sumisión exclusiva a la ley” y, coherentemente, como la no sumisión a tribunales superiores, a otro poder ni a entidad o persona alguna; en suma, a la ausencia de subordinación jerárquica. Al fin, se pensará el deber de independencia de los jueces como correlato del derecho de los ciudadanos a ser juzgados desde el sistema jurídico y no desde parámetros extrajurídicos del sistema social (moral, política, economía, preferencias sociales, modas, entre otros. Con acierto, el compilador del libro que comentamos instala el tema en un tiempo en el que se pretende abrir los espacios para la solución jurídica de los conflictos más allá de las fronteras del proceso judicial. Desde ese punto de partida se puede valorar que la obra cuenta con investigaciones generales sobre la independencia judicial, pero también se amplían las referencias procesales a cuestiones vinculadas a medios alternativos de solución de conflictos, en particular la conciliación y el arbitraje. Entre los trabajos generales, los profesores Diana Ramírez Carvajal y Michele Taruffo —quienes conciben al derecho como un fenómeno en la cultura— tratan las relaciones entre los principios de independencia e imparcialidad, frente a los desafíos que se presentan a la labor judicial en este tiempo, y en particular en Colombia. Dentro de los diversos tópicos que señalan los autores, merece especial atención el acertado tratamiento del tema sobrelos efectos que la falta de independencia del vértice de la pirámide judicial produce en la función de todos los jueces. Por su parte el magistrado y docente Danilo Rojas Betancourth expone un metódico trabajo para aclarar las connotaciones del concepto de independencia judicial en el derecho. Destaca la necesidad de entenderlo dando prevalencia a su enfoque como derecho humano, “tanto como exigencia de los jueces mismos, como de los ciudadanos en aras de justicia”. Las profesoras Luz Amparo Granada de Espinal y Catalina Merino Martínez se hacen cargo de unos de los temas de mayor impacto en la adjudicación judicial en el derecho continental: los casos en los que la decisión implica asumir una colisión de principios. La profesora María del Socorro Rueda Fonseca, mediante un sugerente título “El proceso entre las cuerdas”, elabora un análisis comparado del sistema oral y del sistema escrito de la jurisdicción ordinaria colombiana, denunciando que las reformas judiciales que han previsto reducir los niveles de congestión no cumplen sus objetivos. Martha Eugenia Lezcano Miranda trata sobre los retos que para la justicia tiene el fortalecimiento de los medios alternativos de solución de conflictos y las jurisdicciones equivalentes, no solo en Colombia sino en otros países latinoamericanos. Entre sus propuestas cabe resaltar la de fomentar una sólida formación de los jueces en ese ámbito. El tema del arbitraje es desarrollado en varios trabajos. Laura Carballo Piñeiro muestra lo que a su entender son las insuficiencias de los arbitrajes colectivos en la experiencia española. Ana Luiza Nery no solo presenta un pormenorizado análisis conceptual del arbitraje colectivo sino que además especifica los impactos institucionales que este puede ocasionar en el sistema jurídico brasileño. A su vez Cindy Charlotte Reyes Sinisterra muestra los retos que tiene el árbitro de inversión en el posconflicto en Colombia: ¿pueden invocarse los acuerdos de paz como eximentes del cumplimiento de las obligaciones asumidas por el Estado en un Tratado Bilateral de Inversión? El tema de los Mecanismos Alternativos de Solución de Conflictos (quizás una de las cuestiones más relevantes para la cultura actual), lo desarrollan Adriana Patricia Arboleda López, Luis Fernando Garcés Giraldo, Eduardo Murillo Bocanegra, Astelio Silvera Sarmiento, Jovany Sepúlveda Aguirre y Dany Esteban Gallego Quiceno en el ámbito de la conciliación extrajudicial, con el marcado objetivo de reconocerlo como un mecanismo gratuito, rápido y eficaz para la solución de conflictos jurídicos. Joan Picó i Junoy elabora algunas reflexiones sobre la independencia de los peritos judiciales, aproximándose a las diferencias entre la independencia y la imparcialidad judicial y el interrogante sobre si estas deben cobijar a los peritos judiciales de la misma manera como lo hacen con los jueces. Por último, Darío Alejandro Rojas Araque describe los avances que para el proceso de nulidad matrimonial trajo aparejada la reforma procesal del Papa Francisco de 2015, recortando no solo el tiempo del proceso, sino sus costos económicos. En suma, desde mi propia perspectiva de magistrado y profesor universitario, preocupado por la indagación acerca de mi tarea como juez, me complace destacar la profundidad, solvencia y variedad de estos aportes que, sin duda, contribuirán a reflexionar sobre varios de sus aspectos sobresalientes: la solución pacífica de los conflictos de los ciudadanos, las condiciones de la adjudicación de los derechos (sobre todo, la “independencia judicial”) y la propuesta de otras vías adecuadas que colaboran a la efectividad del acceso a justicia.
