Revista de Filosofía, Año V - Nº 3 - May/1919 Cultura—Ciencias—Educación

In this 1919 issue the journal opens with a reflective address delivered by the president of a major Argentine university, who urges both teachers and students to examine the purpose of their work amid a world rattled by political and social upheaval. He frames education as a two‑way commitment: shaping society while also empowering the individual, and he warns against letting personal ambition eclipse collective duty. The speech sets a tone of thoughtful responsibility that resonates through the pages that follow.

The remaining articles span a wide array of subjects, from historical reflections on Sarmiento and Mitre to concise studies of Montaigne’s ideas, and from explorations of moral, aesthetic and religious feelings to rigorous pieces on space, time, and inductive logic. Readers also encounter essays on the social function of law, the psychology of language, and the challenges of democracy, alongside literary analyses such as a Dante‑inspired reading of Ulysses. Together they offer a vivid snapshot of Argentine intellectual currents at a moment when philosophy, science, and education were actively seeking new directions.
