El libro se encuentra disponible en formato de papel en la siguiente dirección: http://www.grin.com/es/e-book/183911/occidente-enfermo ; El libro consta de un conjunto de ensayos organizados sistemáticamente en torno a la problemática de la crisis actual de occidente. Esta crisis está pensada fundamentalmente desde la intersección entre filosofía y psicopatología. Según su tesis más general, nuestro presente occidental está enfermo. Las enfermedades que padece son consideradas desde un punto de vista ontológico (como supuestos de la comprensión del mundo) y como "patologías de civilización", es decir, como formas de malestar en la cultura que rebasan la esfera individual y conforman un modo de vida. El texto pretende, además, contribuir a un campo de investigación novedoso en el que se cruzan la ontología filosófica y otras disciplinas como la sociología, la antropología y las ciencias de la política. ; The book contains a systematic collection of essays organized around the problems of the current crisis in the West. This crisis is thought primarily from the intersection between philosophy and psychopathology. According to his general thesis, our Western present is sick. Their diseases are considered from an ontological point of view (as assumptions in the understanding of the world) and "pathologies of civilization", that is, as forms of malaise in the culture that transcend the individual level and form a way of life. The text is also intended to contribute to a new research field in crossing philosophical ontology and other disciplines such as sociology, anthropology and political science. ; Proyecto de Investigación La filosofía como terapia social (Ref.: FFI2009-12218), Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación español

Civilization explores how Scottish Enlightenment theories played out in Canadian imaginaries and institutions: the state and society; the liberal and the conservative. E.A. Heaman's case study identifies crucial spaces and moments of conceptual reversal to consider what was unique and what was broadly representative in Canadian civilization.

Objective. The main goal of this work is to analyze the most important conceptual approaches that were formulated by foreign scientists on the mechanisms and directions of civilizational transformations in Russia. This problem has occupied a significant place in the discourse of the socio-political philosophy of the West for a long time. In recent years, an important contribution to research on this topic has been made by J. Arnason, M. Koivisto, A. Przeworski, M.M. Rahman, A. Segrillo and others. Conclusions: The historical path of Russia, which has gone through many socio-cultural transformations, has long attracted the attention of authors dealing with the problems of local civilizations. The Russian civilization was singled out as an independent one by the classics of this trend O. Spengler and A. Toynbee. A number of foreign authors continue to develop this approach, based on the study of the spiritual sphere of life. At the same time, works in which the civilizational essence of Russia is considered from the standpoint of a geopolitical approach, which considers territory as a key factor in its development, is of great interest. Modern foreign researchers successfully combine these approaches, making a significant contribution to the comprehension of Russian civilization. Originality/value: The work carried out a systematic analysis of the concepts of foreign thinkers related to various scientific trends and applying various methodological approaches to the study of civilizational transformations in Russia. Considerable attention is paid to the possibility of combining the concepts formulated in the framework of the philosophical and geopolitical sciences. Within the framework of this work, the results of the latest research, which have not yet been translated into Russian, have been included in the scientific circulation.

International audience ; Here are some loud thoughts that reflect upon the relationship that had long existed amidst philosophy, religion and economics in the so-called 'grand' civilizations (that had existed during 3100 BC to the beginning of Christian era). Historically, the visions of intellectuals, rulers, men of faiths, and business people have helped drive these civilizations to their zenith. The philosophies, religions, and economics of the time were deeply involved in this process of development, and seem to have acted in unison. Here is an attempt to provoke some fresh thinking on the subject by re-examining this triad relationship of the fundamental spheres of human life. The logic of this paper attempts to raise doubts, if the relationship was ideal and was based on ethical and moral values, as it was proclaimed by the philosophers, pontiffs, politicians and the business leaders of the time.
