    Padova Philosophy Summer School Philosophical Controversies about Objectivity in Classical German Philosophy and Contemporary Analytic Philosophy Padova, 12-23 September 2016 What is objectivity? And what is objective? How do we manage to disagree with each other if something is objectively there? What’s more, how can we understand our mutual disagreement? What happens when we disagree? How can we deal with disagreement? The summer school "Philosophical Controversies about Objectivity" intends to offer an in- depth understanding of some important philosophical disputes, both of the past and present, relating to objectivity as well as the necessary analytical tools for a critical investigation of these debates.

Building on sustainability performance in universities, this study aimed to: Identify the procedures deployed by universities to measure sustainability; detect the strengths and weaknesses of the Spanish university system (SUS) sustainability practice; analyse the SUS contributions to sustainability-related Research, Development and Innovation (R&D+I); and assess the efficacy of such practices and procedures as reported in the literature. The indicators of scientific activity were defined by applying scientometric techniques to analyse the journal (Web of Science) and European project (CORDIS) databases, along with reports issued by national institutions. The findings showed that measuring sustainability in the SUS is a very recent endeavour and that one of the strengths is the university community’s engagement with the ideal.

  • University of Lleida (ES) – Summary
    Continuing Education at the University of Lleida (ES) – Summary 1. History The university was created in 1300 by the king Jaume II with the idea to increase Catalonia’s power in the Mediterranean area. Students from other parts of Spain went to Lleida and the commerce and manufacture (paper and books in particular) increased considerably. Lleida became a center of exchange and diffusion of ideas and scientific innovation. Wars with other countries and internal issues put the university in a period of decline. The Spanish reform created a new model of university and in 1717 a new university was formed in Cervera which implied the closing down of the University of Lleida as such. In 1991 the Catalan Parliament approved the opening of the University of Lleida again. Lleida is the most important city in the interior of Catalonia with 120000 inhabitants and about 10000 students. The university has 5 campuses. 2. Continuing Education at the University of Lleida The Statutes of the university establish the improvement of teaching and the contribution to lifelong learning in order to develop social cohesion, equality of opportunities and quality of life. One of the university’s objectives is the development of continuing education programmes under very strict quality parameters. Continuing education is understood as all those courses that have as main objective to upgrade knowledge in any form as well as the development of personal and professional competences. The main characteristic of the continuing education at the university is its thematic diversity, that implies a complementary education in the basic education of Bachelor degree and it has been thought in a global way for those interested to improve their professional and cultural qualifications.

  • Money and Finance in the Wealth of Nations: Interpretations and Influences
    Journal of US-China Public Administration, May 2015, Vol. 12, No. 5, 415-429 doi: 10.17265/1548-6591/2015.05.007 D DAVID PUBLISHING Money and Finance in the Wealth of Nations: Interpretations and Influences Mariano Castro-Valdivia University of Jaén, Jaén, Spain The paper analyzes the classical approach of the money and finance in the cited work of Adam Smith. Specifically, it studies the spread of these ideas in Spain in the late 18th and early 19th century. To do this, the above on this matter is investigated in the two editions that Alonso José Ortiz made of that work. In addition, their influence is discussed in the first Spanish edition of the Treaty of Political Economy by Jean Baptiste Say, translated by José Maria Queipo de Llano y Ruiz de Sarabia, 7th Count of Toreno. It should be remembered that it was a reference work for academic training in the chairs of political economy. In 1807, Plan Caballero, created in the Faculties of Law. Finally, it explains the influence that had the Smithian approach on this issue in the work of Ramón Lazaro de Dou y de Bassóls and Edualdo Jaumeandreui Triter. Keywords: money, teaching economics, classical school This paper is a study on the evolution of the concept of money in the principal text books used for teaching economics from the mid-eighteenth century to the early nineteenth century. Handbook of Genovesi, Condorcert, Smith, Herrenschwand, Canard, Say, Dou, and Jaumeandreu are studied in the following sections. The Wealth of Nations (1776), Adam Smith, is a land mark in modern economics.
