Vocación y circunstancia: análisis antropológico del mobbing o acoso laboral en la docencia universitaria y en la investigación científica experimental

This article tries to test some of the categories of Julián Marías’ metaphysical anthropology to analyze mobbing from the vital reason, that reason that is not mere theory but life itself. Marías proposes vital reason as the method of development of his metaphysical anthropology, in order to respond to each of the situations we face in life; even more specifically, to know what to expect when faced with a new circumstance or chance. Because normally we live, we rest, we are established on beliefs or certainties that we assume from our past experience dragged into the current present. But faced with a new chance, or a change in the circumstances that surround us, we have to stop and think; to be able to establish, welcome or assume, after the reasoning done in life and from life, some new beliefs from which to continue living. On the other hand, the installation is like a vector, it points to the future, to the plans or projects that we see that we have to undertake, especially those that are part of our personal vocation. Mobbing is an attack on our personal vocation because it makes our vector installation falter, so our reflection through vital reason must be extremely deep, to know what to expect: to display the new certainties on which to settle when we have been victims of mobbing and our old certainties no longer exist.
