Tábano is the semiannual publication of the Center for Philosophical Studies of the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina, aimed at a specialized academic readership in Philosophy. It aspires to be a true reflection of the philosophical concerns of our Faculty, without being constrained by any particular area, topic, or school of thought, and seeking to engage in dialogue with the international philosophical community. Drawing on tradition, it aims to open itself to the most diverse philosophical currents until it becomes a living meeting place, a home for those who today dare to think beyond: to think the human being, his world, and his God.
