- PublicationOpen AccessA theory of resonance: towards an ecological cognitive architecture(Springer, 2018-03) Raja Galián, Vicente; FilosofíaThis paper presents a blueprint for an ecological cognitive architecture. Ecological psychology, I contend, must be complemented with a story about the role of the CNS in perception, action, and cognition. To arrive at such a story while staying true to the tenets of ecological psychology, it will be necessary to flesh out the central metaphor according to which the animal perceives its environment by ‘resonating’ to information in energy patterns: what is needed is a theory of resonance. I offer here the two main elements of such a theory: a framework (Anderson’s neural reuse) and a methodology (multi-scale fractal DST).

- PublicationOpen AccessAesthetic normativity and the expressive perception of nature(2021) Pérez Carreño, Francisca; FilosofíaAbstract The notion of a correct appreciation of nature, like the one put forward in Carlson’s environmental account, has been rejected by many other authors in the aesthetics of the natural environment. Their critics challenge the idea that only scientific categories can ground the aesthetic appreciation of nature as nature, and they hold that there is not a correct way of appreciating nature. However, they may share with Carlson the idea of correctness under an objectivist paradigm of aesthetic appreciation, according to which correctness means the adequation of the experience to properties of the object. My aim in the article is to claim that it is necessary to endorse an aesthetic standard of correctness that takes into consideration the subjective character of aesthetic appreciation. An aesthetic standard of correctness implies universal assent, or validity for everyone in Kantian terms, in place of an objectivist notion. This notion of correctness permits the inclusion of expressive perception of nature as an essential form of aesthetic appreciation.
- PublicationOpen AccessAgency from a radical embodied standpoint: an ecologial-enactive proposal(Frontiers Media, 2020-06-26) Segundo Ortin, Miguel; FilosofíaExplaining agency is a significant challenge for those who are interested in the sciences of the mind, and non-representationalists are no exception to this. Even though both ecological psychologists and enactivists agree that agency is to be explained by focusing on the relation between the organism and the environment, they have approached it by focusing on different aspects of the organism-environment relation. In this paper, I offer a suggestion for a radical embodied account of agency that combines ecological psychology with recent trends in enactive cognitive science. According to this proposal, while enactivism focuses primarily on describing how our acquired sensorimotor schemes and habits mutually equilibrate, affecting our tendency to act upon some affordances instead of others, ecological psychology focuses on studying how perceptual information contributes to the actualization of the sensorimotor schemes and habits without mediating representations, inferences, and computations. The paper concludes by briefly exploring how this ecological-enactive theory of agency can account for how socio-cultural norms shape human agency.

- PublicationOpen AccessAre plants cognitive? A reply to Adams(Elsevier, 2018-12-06) Segundo-Ortin, Miguel; Calvo, Paco; FilosofíaAccording to F. Adams [this journal, vol. 68, 2018] cognition cannot be realized in plants or bacteria. In his view, plants and bacteria respond to the here-and-now in a hardwired, inflexible manner, and are therefore incapable of cognitive activity. This article takes issue with the pursuit of plant cognition from the perspective of an empirically informed philosophy of plant neurobiology. As we argue, empirical evidence shows, contra Adams, that plant behavior is in many ways analogous to animal behavior. This renders plants suitable to be described as cognitive agents in a non-metaphorical way. Sections two to four review the arguments offered by Adams in light of scientific evidence on plant adaptive behavior, decision-making, anticipation, as well as learning and memory. Section five introduces the ‘phyto-nervous’ system of plants. To conclude, section six resituates the quest for plant cognition into a broader approach in cognitive science, as represented by enactive and ecological schools of thought. Overall, we aim to motivate the idea that plants may be considered genuine cognitive agents. Our hope is to help propel public awareness and discussion of plant intelligence once appropriately stripped of anthropocentric preconceptions of the sort that Adams’ position appears to exemplify.
- PublicationOpen AccessArguing as a virtuous arguer would argue(2015) Gascón, José Ángel; FilosofíaA virtue approach to argumentation would focus on the arguers’ character rather than on her arguments. Therefore, it must be explained how good arguments relate to virtuous arguers. This article focuses on this issue. It is argued that, besides the usual logical, dialectical, and rhetorical standards, a virtuously produced good argument must meet two additional requirements: the arguer must be in a specific state of mind, and the argument must be broadly conceived of as an argumentative intervention and thus excel from every perspective.
- PublicationOpen AccessArgumentative bullshit(2021) Gascón, José Ángel; FilosofíaHarry Frankfurt characterised bullshit as assertions that are made without a concern for truth. Assertions, however, are not the only type of speech act that can be bullshit. Here, I propose the concept of argumentative bullshit and show how a speech acts account of bullshit assertions can be generalised to bullshit arguments. Argumentative bullshit, on this account, would be the production of an argument without a concern for the supporting relation between reasons and claim.

- PublicationOpen AccessAugmented reality: an ecoloigcal blend(Elsevier, 2017-05) Raja Galián, Vicente; Calvo, Paco; FilosofíaIn this article we present Ecological Augmented Reality (E-AR), an approach that questions the theoretical assumptions of main-stream Augmented Reality (AR). The development of AR systems to date presupposes an information-processing theory of perceptionthat hinders the potential of the field.Generally, in AR devices, virtual symbolic information is superimposed upon the environment in such a way that the real and thevirtual may be processed, informationally speaking, in tandem. Thus, we find information in reality itself, as well as virtual symbolicinformation. But by increasing the burden of symbolic crunching, AR devices run the risk of saturating the user of the technology. AR systems developed under the principles of an ecological psychology may contribute to new and better levels of performance andadaptation to the user’s perceptual abilities. Our proposal is to develop AR devices such that reality itself is augmentednon-symbolically by blending real and virtual layers/information. Although there are seldom AR devices in the market that are designedecologically, two fields of research may well bring inspiration to AR developers. These are the design and manipulation of real objects,and ecological research in the field of sensory substitution. We consider them both in turn with an eye to putting forward a frameworkthat eschews any type of information-processing regarding the nature of our psychological processes. Ultimately, our aim is to providesome guidelines for the exploration.
- PublicationOpen AccessAusencia y trauma en el ser para-sí: Una lectura de la ontología de Jean-Paul Sartre desde Dominick LaCapra.(Universidad de Málaga, 2021) Perez Baquero, Rafael; FilosofíaEl objetivo del presente artículo es el de reconstruir las nociones fundamentales de la ontología fenomenológica sartreana desde las categorías hermenéuticas de la historia intelectual de Dominick LaCapra. Este bagaje conceptual destaca por su fecundidad a la hora de justificar cómo algunos intelectuales de la pasada centuria han metabolizado las experiencias de violencia e incertidumbre de su tiempo en sus propias obras. Con el fin de proyectar estos esquemas interpretativos, interpretaremos las tesis sartreanas en torno al ser de la conciencia, a la intersubjetividad y al proyecto existencial desde el prisma que ofrecen las reflexiones de LaCapra.

- PublicationOpen AccessBiopolítica, nazismo, franquismo. Una aproximación comparativa(Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED), 2011-12-01) Cayuela Sánchez, Salvador; FilosofíaSobre la base de una determinada forma de entender el concepto de biopolítica y sus elementos definitorios, hemos tratado aquí de analizar las características fundamentales de las formas de biopolítica orquestadas por los regímenes nazi y franquista. Dicha caracterización nos ha permitido elaborar, en función de una serie de elementos presentes en ambas biopolíticas, una visión comparativa encargada de mostrar tanto las similitudes como las diferencias entre una y otra, aportando así tanto una nueva conceptualización de los regímenes fascistas, como ciertos elementos ignorados hasta ahora en el debate sobre la naturaleza del franquismo.
- PublicationOpen AccessBiopolitique et éducation dans l’Espagne franquiste: le cas des personnes handicapées(Société Binet Simon, 2024-07-05) Cayuela Sánchez, Salvador; FilosofíaAprès la fin de la guerre civile espagnole en 1939, le nouveau régime du général Franco devait articuler une forme caractéristique de biopolitique capable de générer : d’une part, la légitimité du système politique parmi la population espagnole; et d’autre part, l’augmentation de la puissance de l’Etat. Ces objectifs ont été poursuivis à travers la création d’une série de dispositifs disciplinaires et de mécanismes de régulation qui vont perfectionner leur fonctionnement pendant près de quarante ans. Parmi ces mécanismes, l’éducation a joué un rôle fondamental. En prenant en compte tous ces éléments, mon objectif dans cet article sera, en premier lieu, de définir le concept de biopolitique et ma manière de l’appliquer à l’analyse du régime de Franco. Deuxièmement, j’expliquerai l’importance de l’éducation et de ses différents dispositifs dans l’ensemble de cette biopolitique franquiste, dans sa mission particulière de gouverner les esprits et les corps des Espagnols. Et finalement, je concentrerai toutes ces analyses dans le cas de l’éducation des personnes handicapées pendant la période exposée.
