Torralba says,“Philosophy is a curious activity, not a tonic, because its goal is tomake one think. These three great philosophers make us think byposing substantive questions that nobody, not even a Christian, canavoid.” In this essay, the questions of these three thinkers are analyzedwith the intent of disclosing the degree of truth that each oneholds. The book is complemented with counterpoints from NorbertBilbeny, Francisco Fernández Buey and Andrés Sánchez Pascual.This work contains the inaugural conference and the 18 speeches thatwere presented and discussed at the international congress held inPalma concerning the thinking of Th. W. Adorno. In addition, it includesthe inaugural text of the conference presented by Dr. Rolf Tiedemann,who has been the editor of the complete works of Adorno in German.

As an integral part of medical knowledge, psychiatryalso includes the understanding of the traumas of the human mind in allof its biological, psychological and social complexity. In other words,today psychiatry is a critical part of the mental health sciences. When religionis psychologically embraced as a universally symbolic experience fullof transcendent anthropological meaning, it opens an immense road inwhich psychopathology has its own particular space as well.La Doctrina Social de l’Església davant la societatcatalana: família, treball, economia, medi ambientThe Church’s Social Doctrine in Catalan Society:Family, Work, Economy, EnvironmentJaume Brufau (coordinator) et al.Barcelona: Universitat Abat Oliba CEU;Thomas Becket Research Center, 2007126 pages; 21 x 29.5 cm; softbackCDU: 23ISBN B-20702-20074In Catalanwww.neu-e.com
