El objetivo de este artícues mostrar la relevancia que la filosofía de las ciencias sociales (FCS) tiene para la investigación que llevan a cabo las disciplinas sociales. Identifico qué obstáculos han impedido reconocer su importancia, al tiempo que sugiero algunas estrategias para revertirlos. Así, señalaré que, en el contexto local de las ciencias sociales, la comprensión parcial de los compromisos intelectuales de la filosofía de la ciencia (FC) ha constituido un primer obstáculo. Explicaré cómo puede corregirse esa visión parcial, señalando cuál es el valor de las preguntas de carácter filosófico y cómo complementan el trabajo epistemológico de las ciencias sociales. Un segundo obstáculo la condición de autosuficiencia que las propias ciencias sociales conciben con respecto a los debates epistemológicos de su trabajo. En la última parte expondré mediante tres ejemplos cómo la FCS hace aportaciones importantes sobre debates que son cruciales en las ciencias sociales contemporáneas: la causalidad social, el papel de la interpretación y la objetividad científica.

An attempt to evaluate the main sociological & philosophical theories of social change, focusing on the Third World & the present time (ie, the approach of the twenty-first century). The validity of existing theories is questioned, based on differences in the historical development of countries that underwent colonization, & the European/North American ethnocentrism at the origin of these theories & their interpretations of reality, which are shaped by moral & political values rather than an analytical approach. Having demonstrated the subjectivity of many concepts, it is suggested that the task of sociology is to rethink these concepts, not in order to relativize or negate their contribution, but to give them a more general validity, taking into account the diversity of historical development & social structures in today's world. To achieve this, greater contact with the everyday reality of social change is necessary. AA Tr & Modified by C. Waters

Through a metrodology close to social philosophy, the purpose of the article was to outline the perspectives for the construction of innovative marketing strategies for the field of tourism on the basis of social ethics and social policy. Business theory and methodology show a tendency to change conceptual approaches - from pragmatic to ethical - and business discourse attests to the activation of innovative business models of management, ethically marked, under the tendency to fill marketing strategies with social accents and the ever wider introduction of the categories of ethics and social responsibility. The concept of socially responsible business is gaining particular importance. It is concluded that the creation of an acceptable ethical marketing concept for the field of tourism and hospitality requires the modernization of the methodological basis. Dealing not with an abstract consumer of services, but with a concrete person, hospitality cannot be limited to generally recognized principles of social responsibility; it needs also, methodological consolidation of human-oriented principles, in addition to the ideas of social ethics by the experience of ethos ethics.

Within the context of an era that appears to be defined by the triumph of gobalized capitalism, an alternative political project doesn't seem possible. Accordingly, Marxism can only be conjured as a spectre, in Derrida's sense. The 'philosophical conjuration' in postfordist society that Hardt & Negri propose in Empire is discussed, i.e. their notion of a General Intellect, by analogy with Saint Augustine's messianism in The City of God. The differences with Derrida's messianism are outlined, & the possibility to conceive of a 'messianism without a Messiah' in industrial society is discussed.

Análisis de algunos de los planteamientos más relevantes de Jean Jacques Rousseau, autor de El contrato social y uno de los pocos filósofos clásicos aún leído: el orden social, la democracia, el Estado, lo colectivo frente a lo individual y la sociedad civil, entre otros temas.

This brief article applies the famous principles of Zarathustra (which emphasizes overcoming the basic human condition) to the Greek tragedies, likening Zarathustra to the spirit of Dionysus. A short overview of Nietzsche's legacy & contribution, encompassing the sciences, philosophy, anthropology, & social theory, are touched on, before moving on to the focal point of Greek tragedy & the fundamental ideas of Zarathustra. It concludes with critical comments, asserting that Zarathustra is not merely a literary, political, or philosophical creation, but also an anthropological exploration, such as was unleashed by the figure of Dionysus.
