- ItemConvivencia escolar, diálogo y filosofía para niños(Centro de Políticas Públicas UC, 2025) Vicuña, Ana María; Ravanales Carrillo, Jorge Eduardo; Bilbao Bagnara, José María; Barraza Mejías, Felipe Ignacio; Honorato, ValentinaLas cifras sobre violencia escolar en Chile han venido mostrando un aumento significativo durante la última década, a pesar de los persistentes intentos del Ministerio de Educación de promover proyectos de ley que apuntan a reducir dicha situación. En este contexto, algunos académicos han sugerido estudiar la viabilidad del programa de Filosofía para Niños como un método para enfrentar la crisis de convivencia escolar que sufre el país, basados en las positivas experiencias que ha mostrado la aplicación del programa en países como Australia, Colombia, Brasil, Dinamarca o Noruega. El propósito de este estudio fue levantar información acerca de la percepción del programa en aquellas escuelas chilenas que lo han implementado, y el impacto en la convivencia escolar que dichas comunidades le atribuían al programa. Con ese propósito, se realizó un estudio de caso basada en entrevistas semiestructuradas en tres colegios de la región Metropolitana de Santiago, para conocer la perspectiva que profesores y directivos tenían al respecto. A partir de los datos recolectados, se generó una propuesta de política pública para trabajar la convivencia escolar basado en el programa de Filosofía para Niños, considerando tanto el contexto actual como las fortalezas y amenazas del programa que fueron levantadas a través de las entrevistas realizadas en las escuelas visitadas.
- ItemAnimals and leisure experiences in wild protected areas in central-south Chile(CABI International, 2025) Ried Luci, Roberto Andrés; Benavides Medina, Sebastián PelayoThis chapter proposes a critical reflection about the roles that non-human animals play in leisure experiences in wild protected areas, connected to the construction of 'sense of place' and conceptual understandings of nature. It is based on two studies carried out separately, in the El Cañi Sanctuary, the Huerquehue National Park, the Conguillio National Park and the Villarrica National Park, in La Araucanía region. Although wild protected areas in Chile (South America) have experienced a sustained increase in visitors in recent decades, in most cases the appeal of leisure activities in these spaces seems to be strongly connected to the attractiveness of their landscapes, apparently unrelated to the observation and interaction with non-human animals.
- ItemA History of the Development of the Soul. Immanuel Hermann Fichte’s Psychological Project(Springer Nature, 2025) Hernández Maturana, Cristián; Pontificia Universidad Católica de ChileThis chapter provides a brief characterization of Immanuel Hermann Fichte’s anthropological and psychological project. After a biographical sketch and an examination of the intellectual context in which Fichte develops his project, this chapter provides a depiction of Fichte’s conception of anthropology and psychology as two different but continuous moments of an empirically founded speculative philosophy of the human soul. It is shown that Fichte conceives of his psychology as a history of the development of consciousness in the thinking, feeling, and willing activities of the human soul.
- ItemThe Nineteenth-Century German Psychological Landscape(Springer Nature Switzerland AG, 2025) Cornejo Alarcón, Carlos Eduardo; Hernández Maturana, Cristian Nicolas; Pontificia Universidad Católica de ChileThe introduction critiques the presentist interpretation of psychology’s history, arguing that it oversimplifies the field’s evolution by viewing past theories through a contemporary lens. It emphasizes that early twentieth-century experimental psychology was not the sole or final form of the discipline. The historical narrative should include diverse approaches from the nineteenth century, reflecting a richer and more complex picture of psychological thought. The present book aims to broaden this historical account, integrating various intellectual movements like German Idealism and Romanticism that greatly influenced the development of psychology. After an outline presentation of the main intellectual movements in Germany at the beginning of the nineteenth century (Aufklärung, idealism, romanticism and Naturphilosophie), we present the chapters of this first volume of Forgotten Streams arranged in three categories: empirical, romantic, and idealist psychologies.
