Spanish term or phrase: en las antípodas del intelectualismo
Hello, here is another question fro my philosophy text from hell.

This is a term that appears again and again, and I don’t really know what she means. TIA!!! :)

La caracterización de este tercer tipo de ética de la personalidad insiste en el motivo de la responsabilidad solitaria de cada uno para con el otro, una responsabilidad sin coacción externa pero también sin el amparo de unas normas y de un conocimiento. La responsabilidad es un salto, en esto muy kierkegaardiano, y está así en las antípodas del intelectualismo moral.

My rough draft:
The characterization of this third type of ethics of personality insists on the reason for solitary responsibility to one another, a responsibility without external coercion but also without the refuge of certain norms and knowledge. Responsibility is a leap of faith, in this it is very Kierkegaardian, and it is thus in the antipodes of the moral intellectualism. The ethics of Derrida are summed up in the response to the call of the Other.

Regarding many of these aspects, the globalization of revelationist political Islam is at the antipodes of the counter-hegemonic globalization of the WSF.28Intriguingly enough, it seems, rather, to share some similarities both with the modernist utopias, which were closed models of future society, and with some characteristics of hegemonic neoliberal globalization: unique thought (whether neoliberalism or Islamism), juridical ecumene (be it the rule of law or the Shari’a ), monolithic expansionism (be it the market or conversion), the critique of the State (be it of the Welfare State or of the secular State).

Get your head round that if you can!!

I see everybody is avoiding "antipodes" like the plague..

El fundador de la escuela cínica fue Antístenes (445-365 a.J.), discípulo directo de Sócrates, que partiendo del modo de vida de su maestro propugnó un modelo de vida sencillo y desapegado de las posesiones materiales, la única preocupación del sabio debe ser vivir acorde con la virtud, todo lo demás es superfluo. Los dos rasgos más importantes de su ideal moral son la autarquía y el desprecio a la convención (nomos). La autarquía o autosuficiencia significa que para los cínicos el hombre virtuoso debe bastarse en todo a sí mismo. Este ideal individualista desapegado del cuerpo social es una muestra más de la época de desconfianza hacia lo político en la que se desarrolló la filosofía de Aristóteles que una vez más se encuentra en las antípodas de este individualismo; para Aristóteles el hombre es un animal social y sólo puede ser autárquico un ser suprahumano, dios o héroe, o infrahumano, una bestia.
