Javier Roiz is the founder of the journal ''Foro Interno. Anuario de Teoría Política'', and "one of the most original thinkers in Europe today".〔Back cover of Javier Roiz, ''Sociedad vigilante y mundo judío en la concepción del Estado'', Editorial Complutense, Madrid, 2008. See also: (Rigoberto Lanz, "Javier Roiz. Esa tenaz resistencia a los disciplinamientos": ''Utopía y Praxis Latinoamericana'', vol. 13, núm. 43 (2008). ) and (Álvaro B. Márquez Fernández, "Presentación": ''Utopía y Praxis Latinoamericana'', vol. 13, num. 43. (2008), pp. 7–10. )〕 He also founded a (Permanent Research Seminar ) which, since 1992, has brought together important researchers and students of political theory. Born in Madrid, he became Full Professor of Political Theory at the Universidad Complutense in 1995, where he still teaches. He has also held teaching and research positions at Princeton University, the Sigmund Freud Institut in Frankfurt, Wesleyan University, Saint Louis University, Universidad Central de Venezuela-CIPOST and Universitat Rovira i Virgili. Among his intellectual mentors are Harry Eckstein, Manfred Halpern, José A. Rodríguez Piedrabuena and Sheldon S. Wolin. In the 1980s, he helped advance empirical political science in the Spanish language, with books such as ''Introducción a la Ciencia Política'' and ''Ciencia Política, hoy''. ==The vigilant society== Roiz understands contemporary society as a vigilant society that has its roots in 13th century Western Europe. Parallel to gothic art, this society of citizens originated in Bourgogne and extended primarily to England, the Iberian Peninsula and the Rhine River Basin; while in Italy its influence was only felt down to Milan.〔Roiz, ''Sociedad vigilante y mundo judío en la concepción del Estado'', pp. 311ff.〕 For the citizens of vigilant societies (i) life is a continual battle, (ii) ''Scientia potestas est'', ''knowledge is power'' (Francis Bacon, 1561–1626), (iii) history moves forward unstoppably, (iv) the final solution to all problems is continually sought, (v) democratic trials are degraded and taken as discrimination, and the figure of judge is confused with that of referee〔"When there is a controversy in an account, the parties must, by their own accord, set up, for right reason, the reason of some arbitrator, or judge, to whose sentence they will both stand or their controversy must either come to blows or be undecided, for want of a right reason constituted by nature; so is it also in all debates what kind soever". Thomas Hobbes,'' Leviathan'', ed. Michael Oakeshott, New York, Collier Books, 1962, p. 42.〕 and (vi) idols are recurred to as instruments of political engineering.〔Roiz, ''Sociedad vigilante y mundo judío en la concepción del Estado'', p. 311. ( Javier Roiz, “Editorial: Teoría Política en la sociedad vigilante”: ''Foro Interno'', n.º 8 (Diciembre 2008), pp. 7–10 ).〕 Scientific neutrality is thus pursued by identifying mental activity with thinking. According to Roiz, this ignores the fact that obsessions and phobias, be they ever so active, not only are not thought, but they impede thinking.〔Javier Roiz, ''El experimento moderno. Política y Psicología al final del siglo XX'', Trotta, Madrid, 1992, chap. 4.〕 Javier Roiz emphasizes the schematic and dogmatic version of Aristotelianism prevalent in 16th-century Europe. During this century, baroque Christian culture consolidated two great Aristotelian dogmas: (i) the privatization of the internal world of men and (ii) the absolute affirmation of the principle of identity.〔(Javier Roiz, “Editorial: Glosas e Historias”: ''Foro Interno'', n.º 9 (Diciembre 2009), pp. 7–10. )〕 Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274) and Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679)〔Hobbes,'' Leviathan'', p. 32.〕 agree upon these points in their work, with coinciding results. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Javier Roiz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
