Lines of research
- Personalism and cosmopolitanism. Communal personalism is a philosophical horizon and a call to action. During the 20th century, it greatly contributed to the development of the humanism tradition and to the creation process of a European political unit in its acknowledgement of diversity and respect to human rights.
- Human rights and techno-oligarchy. The main challenge of Law is defending human beings from technology’s uncontrolled power in various sectors: ecology versus Anthropocene; finances versus speculation and fiscal fraud; biolaw versus transhumanism; the right to privacy and not being manipulated versus digital oligarchy.
- Equality, gender and non-discrimination. A study on the current situation of women’s rights taking into account the gender perspective: formal and material equality when exercising rights; integrating equality into differences; analysing the co-parenting model; debates surrounding gender identities.
- Philosophy of politics: justice, democracy and participation. This line of research will primordially focus on the contemporary challenges posed to the liberal democratic model; on analysing essential values such as “justice”, “freedom” or “human rights”; and on covering topics like political participation, contemporary justice theories and intergenerational justice.
- Philosophy of peace and international relations. It analyses the great challenges of the International Relations field: failed states, new wars, asymmetrical warfare, serious and systematic human rights violations, refugee crises. It also studies the positive concept of peace, which not only consists in the mere absence of war, but it also includes justice and respecting human rights.
- Human safety and planet sustainability in the post-globalisation era. A concept from the United Nations to replace the concept of national safety, which affects the quality of life and not the military power, and the GDP, focused on increasing computable operations. Its sustainability depends on subordinating finances to the real economy, and this very same economy to human capabilities.
