VARGAS GUILLEN, Germán  y  GUERRERO, Mary Julieth. Putting the Humanities on the Edge: Game and Resistance. Rev. colomb. educ. [online]. 2017, n.72, pp.39-63. ISSN 0120-3916.

The thesis proposed in this article is that game is a field in which the possibility and the horizon of being are put into play. Game is a space of resistance both to capitalism and to the presumed transcendence of the thelos (personal and collective, in culture, including the Western culture). This thesis is developed through the following steps: (1) discussion: posthumanism, antihumanism, and humanism; (2) the idea of ethics as first philosophy in "Humanism of the Other;" (3) the essencing and game as vital phenomena and places of resistance. As a colophon, the following question is posed: What are the humanities "here and now" for? The humanities are proposed as a necessary condition for peace based on the relationship between virtue (understood as good = justice = ἀρετή) and happiness (εὐδαιμονία).

Palabras clave : Justice; happiness; Other; ethics; phenomenology; education for peace; moral education.
