8Consciousness and object: a mind-object identity physicalist theoryJohn Benjamins. 2017.What is the conscious mind? What is experience? In 1968, David Armstrong asked “What is a man?” and replied that a man is “a certain sort of material object”. This book starts from his question but proceeds along a different path. The traditional mind-brain identity theory is set aside, and a mind-object identity theory is proposed in its place: to be conscious of an object is simply to be made of that object. Consciousness is physical but not neural. This groundbreaking hypothesis is supported …Read more

6Teorie descrittive e revisioniste degli eventiNóema 11 19-31. 2020.All’inizio del secolo XX, tre filosofi di Cambridge, Alfred North Whitehead, Bertrand Russell, e Charlie Dunbar Broad, sostennero un’ontologia basata sugli eventi che si riteneva fosse compatibile con la recente teoria della relatività . Gli eventi, perciò, rimpiazzavano le sostanze aristoteliche in veste di componenti primari dell’universo – essi erano concepiti come unità di spazio-tempo che si estendevano spazio-temporalmente e che si sovrapponevano al campo elettromagnetico. Via via che la f…Read more

Libertà nella naturaPhilosophical News 1. 2010.The debate as to the nature of free will focused on two options: either free willruns afoul of the natural order or it is somehow compatible withsome kind of complex and articulated causal process . Both alternatives are not satisfying for a series of well known reasons. Yet, such a discussion is based on a mechanistic view of the natural world assuming that natural phenomena are reducible to local phenomena. In this paper, I will briefly summarize the recent approaches in philosophy of mind and…Read more

Memoria: Fra Neurobiologia Identità EticaMimesis. 2010.Within a general approach that implies the closely related survey of neurosciences and philosophical thought, the essays collected in the volume develop two main lines of research. The first one, thanks to the contributions of scientists and psychologists , psychoanalysists and bioengineers , allows to fix the attention on the neurobiological, psychological, psychoanalytical and physical remembering. The second one, more specifically philosophical, is declined in three different approaches. the …Read more
