"This book is an enquiry into memory in the Western world. Specifically, memory is the framework of culture, because it links the present to the past--or tradition--and projects it into the future. For this reason, any work focusing on memory involves a double challenge: (1) to reveal the origin of concepts and (2) to glimpse the course of thoughts. This is the case of the present volume, in which the authors make several tastings of Europe's intellectual heritage, by taking into account both the Greek origin of this legacy and its relevance for understanding the European philosophical heritage. In particular, these papers focus on the Aristotelian tradition, the true keystone of Europe, and on other currents of thought that have also played an essential role in the intellectual evolution of the Old Continent. In the latter field, there are contributions, for instance, on philosophical-religious traditions such as Orphism or on certain fundamental aspects of Neoplatonism both in the Classical World and in Christian authors. The volume concludes with various works on the survival of these intellectual trends from the Renaissance to the present day. Consequently, this work offers the opportunity to delve deeper into some of the aspects that define Western civilisation, observed both from its origin and its evolution over the centuries. The volume contains papers in Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and English."--

This paper discusses and explains Freire's Marxist-inflected concept of praxis as developed throughout his oeuvre. A key feature, deriving from Marx and others, notably Gramsci, is the positing of a dialectical relationship between consciousness and the world. This is at the heart of his celebrated pedagogical approach. Praxis dates back to the time of the ancient Greek 'civilisation' Aristotle in primis. It involves an intellectual effort, a reflection on one's individual and collective lifeworld. These are the reflecting on action processes that can ultimately collectively lead to political change. Praxis lies at the heart of Marxian and Gramscian political thought and strategy. It is the kernel of Paulo Freire's pedagogical politics; it differs from simply practice. This pedagogical politics involves the codification of this reflection on action into theory. It, in turn, entails evaluating relevant theory against the very reflection on everyday action. The world of action is life itself with all its dimensions, including community living and work, but extends well beyond. ; Este artigo explica a noção freireana de práxis desenvolvida na Pedagogia do Oprimido e em outros escritos, de Freire, Marx e Gramsci, para capturar a relação dialética entre a consciência e o mundo, refletido ema abordagem pedagógica pela qual ele se tornou famoso. O conceito de práxis remonta à época dos gregos antigos e já em Aristóteles. Isso envolve uma reflexão sobre o processo de viver - uma função intelectual. Os processos de pensamento e de reflexão que acompanham a maioria das atividades e que se deve ajudar a nutrir com mudanças políticas em mente. A práxis está no cerne da abordagem política e pedagógica de Paulo Freire e deve ser distinguida da mera prática. Envolve a codificação da reflexão sobre a vida cotidiana em teoria e os meios de avaliar essa teoria em comparação com o resultado da reflexão sobre a vida cotidiana, incluindo a vida no trabalho e na comunidade.
