Este monográfico busca resultados de investigación enmarcados en esta amplia temática desde una perspectiva global y poniendo de manifiesto la a...

Salud y enfermedad tras las rejas durante la Guerra Civil. La asistencia sanitaria en las prisiones de Valencia capital de la República Xavier Garcia Ferrandis (Autor/autora) , Jon Arrizabalaga (Prólogo) , Fèlix Bella (Diseño de la colección), Estudio Juan Nava (Diseño de la cubierta) Tras estudiar en otro trabajo las consecuencias de la Guerra Civil en el sistema hospitalario de la ciudad de Valencia y su área de influencia, en la presente monografía el autor aborda el impacto de la contienda en el sistema penitenciario de la misma zona analizando las condiciones sanitarias de las prisiones. La situación de retaguardia de Valencia durante el conflicto hizo que grandes contingentes de prisioneros fueran trasladados a la ciudad y sus alrededores. Ello hizo necesario aumentar el universo carcelario mediante dos estrategias: la reorganización de las prisiones existentes antes del estallido de la guerra y la habilitación ad hoc de nuevos espacios de reclusión en edificios incautados.

Open Philosophy ( https://www.degruyter.com/opphil ) invites submissions for the topical issue "Artificial Intelligence and Philosophical Health," edited by Dr Luis de Miranda (University of Turku, Finland). DESCRIPTION In recent years, the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence has sparked intense debate about its impacts on human cognition, society, and our fundamental understanding of intelligence, purpose and consciousness. Concurrently, there has been a resurgence of interest in practical philosophy and its potential to enhance human well-being, as evidenced by the growing field of philosophical practice and counseling. The concept of “philosophical health” has emerged in two recent books (Bloomsbury, 2024) as a holistic framework for understanding and cultivating human well-being and planetary compossibility through philosophical practice. It goes beyond mere critical thinking or reflection, encompassing a comprehensive approach to life that integrates bodily awar...
