The phenomenon of altruism extends from the biological realm to the human sociocultural realm. This paper sketches a coherent outline of multiple types of altruism of progressively increasing scope that span these two realms and are grounded in an ever-expanding sense of "self." Discussion of this framework notes difficulties associated with altruisms at different levels. It links scientific ideas about the evolution of cooperation and about hierarchical order to perennial philosophical and religious concerns. It offers a conceptual background for inquiry into societal challenges that call for altruistic behavior, especially the challenge of environmental and social sustainability.

Resumen: Este estudio se propone interpretar el lenguaje y sus representaciones simbólicas en la película La vida secreta de las palabras como factores simbólicos y catárticos, sobre todo en lo que se refiere a la vida de la protagonista femenina, Hanna. La directora, Isabel Coixet, logra transmitir a través de la diná-mica lingüística de los personajes un sinfín de emociones vitales que van desde el sufrimiento más pro-fundo, pasando por el aislamiento y el desamparo, hasta un completo vacio existencial. Hanna vive com-pletamente aislada y sola en el norte de Irlanda, en Belfast, después de haber logrado sobrevivir múltiples violaciones …

Although Foucault did not address the question of the animal, he asserted the assessment of whether a new politics of truth can be constituted as "the essential political problem" (1980, p. 134). Though the "essential political problem" may be considered as it relates to the politics of truth about animals, a Foucaultian perspective does not allow a prediction in response, other than the recognition that change may occur. What is understood to be "true" about animals may change if the relationships between events that exist at a given time ("conditions") require the emergence of a different way of knowing. This …

We all too often assume that technology is the product of objective scientific research and that technology’s moral value lies in only the moral character of its user. To remove technology from a moral realm, we assume value and context neutrality. Yet the power of technology is a reflection of the values that exist in its developmental context. Technology’s moral realm is visible in the reciprocal relationship between culture and technology in the epidemiology of AIDS, clinical research and practice regarding heart disease, and DNA research. Cultural values decide what counts as a scientific question. When we look at the …
