    Default meanings: language’s logical connectives between comprehension and reasoning
    with David J. Lobina, Josep Demestre, and Marc Guasch
    Linguistics and Philosophy 46 (1): 135-168. 2023.
    Language employs various coordinators to connect propositions, a subset of which are “logical” in nature and thus analogous to the truth operators of formal logic. We here focus on two linguistic connectives and their negations: conjunction _and_ and (inclusive) disjunction _or_. Linguistic connectives exhibit a truth-conditional component as part of their meaning (their semantics), but their use in context can give rise to various implicatures and presuppositions (the domain of pragmatics) as w…Read more

    The Roles of Psychological Capital and Gender in University Students’ Entrepreneurial Intentions
    with Clara Margaça, Brizeida Hernández-Sánchez, and Giuseppina Maria Cardella
    Frontiers in Psychology 11. 2021.
    Universities increasingly play an important role in entrepreneurship, which has contributed to gender equality in the business world. The aim of this study is to establish a causal model of entrepreneurial intentions and explore it by gender, based on the dimensions of the Theory of Planned Behavior, and how these are mediated by the individuals’ resilience and psychological well-being. The previous work experience was considered as one of the control variables, in order to analyze whether this …Read more

    The 14th century controversy between William of Ockham and Walter Burleigh led to the publication of autonomous treatises on the theory of supposition, such as William Sutton's Textus de Suppositionibus. Significant parallels may be found between this treatise and the Tractatus de Suppositionibus of Vincent Ferrer; such coincidences lead to the formulation of the hypothesis of a direct influence of Sutton on Ferrer.

    Persona, naturaleza y personalitas en Domingo Báñez
    Revista Española de Filosofía Medieval 13 101. 2006.
    Domingo Báñez proposes the distinction between personalitas, individualized nature and act of being in order to resolve the christological problem of the hypostatic union. Those notions can be applied to every man, and so it makes evident the distinction between individual and person, while it shows the radical dependence from the creating free act of God.

    Since the birth of modern media until Internet, communication has been profoundly transformed and through it culture, society, forms of power and the creation of economic wealth. This essay examines this long-lasting process by exploring the idea of mediatization. It is a historical movement of co-implication of symbolic forms, technologies, contexts and communicative frameworks that has altered communication practices, their scope and meanings through the introduction and reception of new techn…Read more

    La distinción nombre verbo en los comentarios al Perihermeneias de Alfarabi y Averroes
    Revista Española de Filosofía Medieval 10 157. 2003.
    In the Perihermeneias, Aristotle deals with the enunciation as a basic unit of signification that expresses the logical truth. The enunciation is composed of noun and verb; two logical categories differentiated by the fact that the verb possesses a temporal consignification and also by its use as a predicate of another thing. Alfarabi and the Averroes need to seek other aristotelian texts so as to propound a coherent explanation of the Stagirite's words.

    variants the distinction between nouns and verbs. For both, the difference is that the verb consignificat time and is always predicated of another. However, the notion of consignificatio is equivocal: sometimes, it indicates an added significance ; sometimes it becomes equal to the meaning of the syncategorematic term. Aquinas interprets consignificatio in an inequivocal way, providing an original explanation with metaphysical depth.

    Hybris, Revista de Filosofí­A 8 (S1): 47-80. 2017.
    A través de una mirada histórica este artículo muestra cómo filosofía y literatura han mantenido una línea de relación compleja pero inevitable, mostrando esa zona en que los seres humanos, como individuos y seres sociales, han de dar respuestas a situaciones singulares desde la experiencia adquirida y la atención a la multiplicidad. Se hace hincapié en las principales etapas, se mencionan algunos autores relevantes y se ofrece al lector una reflexión que presenta ambas formas como necesarias pa…Read more

    The doctrine of the Image of God which is to be found in humankind is usually based by the Scholastic tradition in the human intellect and will. Bañez, a commentator of St. Thomas Aquinas, takes the further step of basing this Image in the personal act of being. In this way the Image of God as found in the created human being is never lost. The Image of God in the “re-created” human being (in the order of grace) can be lost, however, due to the vicious use of one’s freedom.

    El estatuto del entendimiento agente en la obra de san Alberto Magno
    Revista Española de Filosofía Medieval 9 91. 2002.
    The Averroistic Monopsychism could not be incorporated to the Christian thought to darken the idea of the immortality of the personal soul. Albert the Great, tries to make a synthesis of the Arab doctrines and the Doctrine of Divine Illumination. The conclusion is a proposal -not systematize- but where it is possible to found the distinction at personal level between intellect agent and possible intellect, in analogous way to the distinction essence/act of being.

    This article first presents the aristotelian criticism of the conception of God as Esse ipsum subsistens in Thomas Aquinas, through one of the most important aristotelian philosophers today, Enrico Berti. Then the answer offered by the thomist Stephen L. Brock in his defense of the ipsum esse is set forth, with reference to the recent disputes regarding this issue in the so-called «analytical thomism». The aim is to determine the status of the recent debate between aristotelians and thomists reg…Read more

    The article deals with the way in which Augustine makes a Christian use of the teachings of the Rhetorics, focusing in three aspects: the demoralization of Rhetorics, the way of reusing the modus inveniendi, and its application to the modus proferendi.

    Dos visiones del 98: 1948/1998
    Arbor 160 (630): 245-268. 1998.
  • St. Augustine makes possible the use of rhetorics in Christian preaching, both in theory and practise. The same resources, but another way. It can be tested by the use and function of signa in his own preaching. The In loannis euangelium tractatus provide a solid basis for studying the signa as used by St. Augustine.
