Don Quixote: A Literary Masterpiece by Cervantes

Don Quixote is the most famous and celebrated work of Miguel de Cervantes. It tells the adventures of Alonso Quijano, a gentleman from La Mancha who, driven mad by excessive reading, decides to embark on a quest for adventures similar to those of the characters in chivalric novels.

External Structure

The work is divided into two parts:

• Part 1: Titled The Ingenious Hidalgo Don Quixote de la Mancha, it consists of fifty-two chapters. It recounts the first two sallies of Don Quixote:
  • Don Quixote is knighted by an innkeeper and returns home after being beaten.
  • He finds a squire, Sancho Panza, and they travel together to the Sierra Morena in La Mancha. This part includes famous episodes like the windmills,

Early Poems (Orihuela Period)

In his first poems, written during his formative years, Miguel Hernández incorporated symbols drawn directly from the environment of his native Orihuela. Examples include the fig tree, prominently featured in "Recuerdo" and "Insomnia". The image of the shepherd also frequently accompanies the poet.

Initial Phase

Key poems from this phase include:

• "Lujuria" ("Lust"), where he explores erotic desire through the lens of bucolic poetry.
• "En tu boca" ("In Your Mouth"), where he presents the female form using soft and gentle metaphors.

"Perito en lunas" (1933)

Published in Murcia, "Perito en lunas" ("Moon Surveyor") consists of 42 stanzas, paying homage to the poet Góngora and his style of culteranismo. Key symbols in this... Continue reading "Miguel Hernández's Poetic Symbols: Imagery and Meaning" »

Hume: The Negation of Reality

Hume believed that the negation of reality does not have important empirical consequences for ethics. He argued that moral duty is not an empirical fact, and attempted to demonstrate its inconsistency. One of the main tenets of ethical empiricism is the inability to transition from 'being' to 'ought,' a philosophical position known as Hume's Law. Hume's exclusion of values contradicts the evidence because duty is not an empirical fact (it can be something, but one does not have to pay because of it).

Kantian Apriorism

Bridging rationalism and empiricism, Kant proposed that knowledge is a synthesis of intuitions and sensitivity with understanding and concepts. Without feeling, there is no serious purpose. Thought without... Continue reading "Hume, Kant, Marx: Key Philosophical Concepts Explained" »

Human Reproductive System

Male Reproductive Anatomy

In the absence of staff, an erection is achieved by blood entering the corpora cavernosa of the penile tissue above the urethra. This is surrounded by the spongy body, which widens to form the glans, covered by the foreskin.

The corpora cavernosa are spongy, erectile tissue (tissue capable of becoming erect when filled with blood). This tissue has abundant cavernous spaces formed by a network of trabeculae, composed of collagen, elastic, and muscle fibers. At the base of the penis are the Cowper glands, which secrete lubricating fluid to facilitate intercourse.

Legal Language Characteristics

Legal language is a specialized language used predominantly in legal contexts. It is characterized by intertextuality, a conservative function, and a form that seeks clarity, precision, and targeted communication within the legal-administrative sphere. Legal texts are not uniform; they vary across legislation, written administrative documents, notarial acts, and doctrinal texts.

Habeas Corpus Procedure

The writ of habeas corpus is a constitutional right (Article 17). The detainee must be brought before a judge as soon as possible. It is a fast and simple procedure that reflects the right of any citizen to request an immediate appearance in court for arguments, after which a ruling is made on whether their arrest was legal or not.

Formal requests are not the only way to forward the request; a lawyer is not necessary. When does an arrest initiate the process of habeas corpus? When the detainee has not been read their rights, when the detainee is not in the place that legally pertains to them, or if there are delays in terms of temporary detention.

Climate Change and Global Warming

13) Climate Change/Global Warming: Yes, it is the result of the increasing greenhouse effect, caused by rising emissions of greenhouse gases. These, in turn, result from the combustion of hydrocarbons. This leads to thawing that could raise sea levels, causing the disappearance of islands and coastal areas.
