36Languages for the Analytic TraditionPhilosophical Papers 47 (1): 49-69. 2018.In this paper I propose a series of arguments in order to show that it is preferable for analytic philosophy to be practiced in different languages. In the first section, I show that the analytic tradition includes people developing their philosophical work in different natural languages. In the second section, I will address the question of the role of language in thought, and more specifically in philosophical thought, concluding that it is preferable to allow for the use of different language…Read more

17Is Thought without Language Possible?Principia: An International Journal of Epistemology 9 (1-2). 2005.In this paper,1 I discuss Davidson’s ideas about the relationship between mind and language. First, I consider his arguments for the claim that there cannot be thought without language, and I examine the assump-tions the arguments presuppose. In the second place, I consider the idea of “thought” Davidson adopts, and its essentially normative and holistic character. Third, I try to show the adequacy of this conception of thought in order to deal with epistemological problems, and the inade-quacy …Read more

18The Nonconceptual Contents of our MindsProtoSociology 22 78-98. 2006.The aim of this paper is to review the controversy concerning the nature of nonconceptual content, and its philosophical implications. I will focus the presentation on three topics: (a) the different motivations behind the postulation of nonconceptual content, (b) the arguments for nonconceptual content, and (c) the different characterizations offered of nonconceptual content (and the problem these definitions pose). In the last section of the paper I will mention the presuppositions behind this…Read more

2Asimetría y conceptos psicológicosPáginas de Filosofía (Universidad Nacional del Comahue) 15 (18): 5-26. 2014.En este artículo defiendo dos tesis: que la asimetría entre primera persona y tercera persona puede ser explicada apelando a las características gramaticales de los conceptos psicológicos implicados y que, dada la heterogeneidad de los conceptos psicológicos involucrados, es natural pensar que no lograremos formular una explicación unificada de la asimetría. Para ello, en § II presento los conceptos psicológicos y muestro cuán heterogéneos son. Luego, en § III, exploro los límites de la explicac…Read more

16Dificultades para la superveniencia estéticaAreté. Revista de Filosofía 27 (2): 66-84. 2015.In the last half century,there were several attempts to adopt the notion of supervenience in order to shed light on the claim of generality that is involved in aesthetic judgments. In this paper I will show the difficulties brought up by the transposition of the notion of supervenience from other areas of philosophy to the philosophy of art and I will also show the intrinsic difficulties of this project. First, I will revise the origins of the notion of supervenience in contemporary ethics and p…Read more

2The Will to CommunicateCritica 45 (133): 91-97. 2013.In this paper I discuss Rodriguez-Pereyra�s claim according to which analytical philosophy should be published exclusively in English. I focus my reply on three issues: (1) the implicit conception of philosophy and of the philosophical practice that underlies his argument, (2) the myth of the �native speaker� and (3) some values that should guide philosophy and which I propose to highlight

I will focus on the phenomenal concept strategy as an answer to Mary's puzzle. In the first part I present Mary's argument and the phenomenal concept strategy. In the second part I explain the requirements phenomenal concepts should satisfy in order to solve Mary's puzzle. In the third part I present various accounts of what a phenomenal concept is, and I show the difficulties…Read more

181Physicalism, Qualia and Mental ConceptsTheoria: Revista de Teoría, Historia y Fundamentos de la Ciencia 17 (2): 359-379. 2002.In this paper I shall carefully examine some recent arguments for dualism. These arguments presuppose a strong version of physicalism that I consider inappropriate. I shall try to show that, if we reformulate the thesis of physicalism according to Kim's view of physicalism (in terms of the supervenience relation), there is a third option, a version of type physicalism, where physicalism and quaiia could be conciliated. In order to sketch this option, I shall consider the main argument against ty…Read more
