    Sobre la irreductibilidad del debate entre teorías somáticas y cognitivas de las emociones
    Tópicos: Revista de Filosofía 1 (43-44): 200-223. 2022.
    During the last decades an intense debate has developed around the characterization of emotions, in which two approaches were presented as incompatible with each other: the somatic and the cognitive perspective of emotions. In this paper I propose to evaluate whether these are in fact irreconcilable positions, starting from the systematization of the theses that have identified each of these perspectives. Having disarticulated some points of divergence, I finally consider in what sense the debat…Read more

    This work deals with the discussion about the characterization of the emotions that maintain the so called "cognitive current" and "perceptive current". These have been canonically conceived as incompatible ways of accounting for the same phenomenon: the basic emotions. In this paper I intend to examine the disagreement between these opposing approaches, seeking to clarify the scope of this disagreement, and to elucidate the key concepts on this discussion. The article reviews the structure that…Read more

    In this work my aim to show that it is possible to address emotions by paying special attention to the sources of conflict between cogni-tivists and non-cognitivists but by questioning the framework within which they have been erected.

    This paper takes as its focus William James' (1884, 1890) and Anthony Kenny's (1963) proposals and strives to show that their point of view is better understood when interpreted as proposals for investigations with different objectives and placed at different angles of complex research revolving around emotions. As James and Kenny are conceived, furthermore, as paradigmatic authors of, respectively, the none–cognitive and cognitive perspectives, this approach to the interpretation of their pos…Read more

    Enactivismo y emoción: una salida a la encrucijada
    Metatheoria – Revista de Filosofía E Historia de la Ciencia 12 (1): 45-57. 2021.
    En este trabajo me propongo mostrar cómo es posible abordar el fenómeno emocional sin buscar acomodar o subsumir el fenómeno a partir de los estándares existentes, sino poniéndolos en duda y contribuyendo a que se consolide un campo de estudio de las emociones con legitimidad propia. Mi interés aquí está puesto en ver cómo el estudio de las emociones se podría ver favorecido por esta revolución acontecida en el marco de las ciencias cognitivas, que, entre otras cosas, ha dado lugar a la vindicac…Read more
