"Léon Brunschvicg's contribution to philosophical thought in fin-de-siècle France receives full explication in the first English-language study on his work. Arguing that Brunschvicg is crucial to understanding the philosophical schools which took root in 20th-century France, Pietro Terzi locates Brunschvicg alongside his contemporary Henri Bergson, as well as the range of thinkers he taught and influenced, including Lévinas, Merleau-Ponty, de Beauvoir, and Sartre. Brunschvicg's deep engagement with debates concerning spiritualism and rationalism, neo-Kantian philosophy, and the role of mathematics in philosophy made him the perfect supervisor for a whole host of nascent philosophical ideas which were forming in the work of his students. Terzi outlines Brunchvicg's defence of neo-Kantian judgement, historical analysis and the inextricability of the natural and humanist sciences to any rigorous system of philosophy, with wide-ranging implications for contemporary scholarship"--

Social philosophy has a future independent of normative philosophy, which could eventually lead to the pretense of a weak and formal anthropology. Basedon recognition theory and given that current social philosophy has a historical basis, together with the stated anthropological dimension it will ensure its survival in the future. This article is divided into three parts: I) History of social philosophy; over the last two hundred years, philosophy has undergone a process of differentiation that has resulted in the creation of several sub-disciplines. For this reason, although the classical tripartition (theoretical philosophy, practical philosophy and aesthetic philosophy) subsists, in practice, other divisions have arisen that hardly fit the aforementioned scheme; II) an analysis of social pathologies, which implies that it should no longer be the State, but Society that slowly separates from it. This is how social philosophy emerges, as an ethical perspective, used to study social pathologies, which provoke social struggles that seek recognition and emancipation; III) potentialities of said discipline for the future. What should be assumed as "normal" about a social way of life that enables emancipation would be validated to the extent that the members of society itself come to a consensus on the desire to assume social development through democratic organization. ; La filosofía social tiene potencialidades independientemente de la filosofía normativa, por cuanto podrá justificar en el futuro, la pretensión de una antropología débil y formal, a partir de la teoría del reconocimiento, dado que en la actualidad la filosofía social cuenta con un sustento histórico, que unido a la dimensión antropológica referida han de asegurar su supervivencia en el futuro. Para desarrollar este supuesto, este escrito se divide en tres partes: I) Historia de la filosofía social; la filosofía ha experimentado en los últimos doscientos años, un proceso de diferenciación que ha originado varias subdisciplinas. Por ello, si bien subsiste la tripartición clásica: filosofía teórica, filosofía práctica y filosofía estética, en la práctica han surgido otras divisiones que difícilmente se ajustan al precitado esquema; II) Un análisis de las patologías sociales, que implica que ya no debe ser el Estado, sino la sociedad la que se separa lentamente de éste. Así emerge la filosofía social, como una perspectiva ética, que se ocupa del estudio de las patologías sociales, que provocan luchas sociales que procuran el reconocimiento y la emancipación; III) potencialidades de dicha disciplina hacia el futuro. En esta dirección, aquello que se debe asumir como "normal" sobre una forma de vida social que posibilite la emancipación, se validaría en la medida en que los integrantes de la sociedad misma, logren un consenso sobre el deseo de asumir los desarrollos sociales por medio de una formación de voluntad organizada democráticamente.
