Axiology (1930)

Axiology is one of the major works written by Alejandro Korn, The complement of creative freedom. Published in 1930, the year that Argentina began the cycle of coups d'etat that derrocarian to elected governments until 1983, the book focuses on a central concern of Korn, the human will and the ways in which this is manifested .
Overall reaction to the call of the human will to a fact. I want it or not I would say.
For Korn, the man is primarily a "valorante subject" and therefore "is the philosophy or theory of values is axiologia ."
The axis of axiology is a systematic analysis of human values as they occur in real life, that Korn summarized in a table:
Korn found nine areas of human appreciation, defined according to the circumstances that produce the kind of reaction people: economicas, instinctive, erotica, life, social, religious, ethical, logical and aesthetic.
Each of these nine areas of assessment is characterized by a specified sequence of values: a dual core values, a purpose, a concrete realization historical and philosophical systems that justify and promote the positive value.
For example, the economic area: the dual core value here is "useful" or "harmful", the ideal goal (which can never be achieved) is the "welfare" and its historical specificity (always perfect) is the "technical" (in This should add the "technology") as philosophical system that promoted the value of the utility, Korn mentioned andalusia utilitarianism.
After detailed analysis of each of the areas of valuation, Korn concludes that all attempts to establish a hierarchy of values from the supremacy of some over others, have failed. The same has happened with efforts to find permanent and universal values. Korn largely anticipated here views characteristic of the new subjectivities emerged in the second half of the twentieth century. For the philosopher platense:
Effective valuation resides in our heart and beyond the conscious will judge no one ... The valuation represents the ultimate decision of the autonomous personality.
Korn out the possibility of finding a supreme value but if you find a rational common to them all: "the denial of the news as we constrine ." Korn is a dynamic reality that is presented as a limit for man and is therefore negative value ( "the world is bad '), and the other side, the human attitude to" get rid of that restriction in the future, through an "ideal" appreciated.
If we define the process as a cultural effort to make ends ideals would be more accurate to say that the effort to get rid of evils EMPIRICAL .
Produced such an attitude of rejection of the real world, common to all values, the duality reappears, opening two major attitudes values: optimism and pessimism.
Life before us or we rebel or resigned, the flee from the face, we took refuge in the cloister or settled down in the sand. Hence two different human types.
As we have seen, recognizes that both attitudes Korn value, the pessimistic and optimistic, are designed to release the man's real worth of a negative. In this rejection of reality, as this is given in the human rebellion, Korn is the very essence of the humanity of man:
When you see the man, only as an anatomical differences separate from other animals ... Around half vislumbraria hostility. But this animal upright, rather than conform to the patterns of the passive environment ... Instead of submitting rise, instead of adapting the company sees enormous subdue the environment of his beloved. Man is the animal rebel. Thus away from animality.
But while the first response to the inaction, the second responds to act, re-triggering on the same negative reality processing within the meaning of the positive value formulated as ideal. This volunteer-driven reaction to a positive value, the call to freedom creadora .
Korn closed its work by calling attention to the role that each philosophical system in the response that men give to the restrictions imposed upon him by now.
Each philosophy is not the expression of a different value ... Any philosophy systematizes an allegation in the will that inspires it.
Alejandro Korn in the 30s.
By rejecting the existence of a "universal philosophy", and each bind to a particular philosophical system will collectively Korn expresses militant concept of philosophy at the service of a particular social community.

Duke, the Java Duke, the Java mascot The Java platform and Java started as an internal project at Sun Microsystems in December 1990. Patrick Naughton, an engineer with Sun, I was disappointed with the state of C and C APIs and tools. While believed to migrate to NeXT, Naughton received the offer of work on a new technology, and thus began the Stealth. The Stealth Project was renamed the Green Project (or Project Green) where James Gosling and Mike Sheridan joined Naughton. With the help of other engineers, began work in a small office on Sand Hill Road in Menlo Park, California. Attempting to develop a new technology for programming next generation smart devices, the Sun looked to exploit a new field. The team at first thought to use C, but was out for several reasons. When developing an embedded system with limited resources, C is not suitable for higher power also require that their complexity leads to errors of development. The absence of a garbage collector (garbage collector) requiring programmers to manually manage system memory, a dangerous and prone to failure. The team also was troubled by the lack of portable tools on security, distributed programming and concurrent programming. Finally called for a platform that is easily portable to any type of device. Bill Joy had devised a new language that combines the best of Mesa and C. In a letter entitled Further (farthest), Sun proposed that its engineers created an environment based on object-oriented C. Initially Gosling attempted to modify and extend C, what I call a C - but soon the idea to create a completely new language, which called Oak, in reference to the oak that was near his office. The team spent long hours and in the summer of 1992 had listed some parts of the platform, including...

Ideologia Ideologically, UPyD is not defined as left or right. They say at the beginning of its founding manifesto We start with a revolutionary assumption: that people are born and not left or right or any card game in diapers. Let further, at the risk of shock to the timorous believe the citizens capable of thinking for themselves and to choose accordingly, according to the bids of the parties and their experience of the historical situation which we live. Therefore Kabbalah we do not believe that nobody is obliged to vote the same thing or resign themselves to the policy options in place, and when you have been disappointed before. Be considered left or right we do not think the core of the problem, but we pity those who lacked sincere best arguments to discredit the adversary. Continuing with his manifesto: To avoid this false dilemma, we prefer to speak of progress instead of left or right. Being progressive is to fight the tyranny that trample formal democracy, and against poverty and ignorance that democracy impossible material. Andneither the current nor the parties of the left-right have a monopoly of enlightenment, but both traditions have contributed to the policy. We'd like to be able to harness the positive elements of each other, but without having to carry their prejudices and reactionary remnants that exist in both camps. As noted UPyD prefers to define itself as a progressive party, other beyond ideological labels. The match is part of what has been called a few times cross is a cross-party, a party that seeks to encompass both concepts and ideas of political priorities, to work together for the principles of the party and the progress of society. According to his spokesman said in an interview Rosa Diez, Training is progressive and cross, which...
