The magazine of the department of Philosophy of the School of Philosophy and Letters, yearbook Philosophicalpublishes the second issue of 2015 (48-2), which focuses on the thought of different authors of modernity such as Descartes, Spinoza, Fichte or Hegel.

The first study, by Miquel Beltrán (Palma de Mallorca, Spain), analyzes Spinoza's position on the attributes of God, specifically on whether or not they have objective existence. Marta García-Alonso (Madrid, Spain) examines the position of Pierre Bayle (1647-1706) on religious belief and its character of putative truth -substantiated in the subjective conviction of the faithful- against the opposite position held for centuries.

The third and fourth studies are framed in idealism, as they have as interlocutors Fichte and Hegel respectively. Vicente Serrano (Valdivia, Chile) examines the reception of Friedrich Schlegel's Philosophy in the Jena period, focusing on the role of irony. Max Maureira (Santiago, Chile) discusses how Hegel, by making freedom the supreme principle, constructs his own conception of law. 

Miguel Saralegui (Santiago, Chile) analyzes the ideas of Marcelino Menéndez Pelayo (1856-1912) on the essence of the history of the Philosophy in the context of the polemic of La ciencia española, which focuses on a more empirical methodology as opposed to the more idealistic proposal .

Finally, the study by Grzegorz Holub (Krakow, Poland) is an anthropological analysis that brings René Descartes and Karol Wojtyla face to face, examining whether the latter's anthropology can be called - as the former's can be - a dualistic anthropology. The volume is completed by a total of fifteen reviews of recently published books by Philosophy , as well as a list of bibliographical novelties.
