• Radical enactivism supports radical embodied cognition (REC), which is the idea that basic or fundamental cognition (perception and action) does not need to be understood in representational, contentful terms. REC departs from the idea that the mind can be naturalized through biological functions, but rejects the idea that mental content, which is understood as having a representational nature, can be naturalized. For REC, the natural origins of content (or NOC) is a program based on the followi…Read more

    Informação, conhecimento e modelos (edited book)
    with Marcos Antonio Alves and Maria Cláudia Cabrini Gracio
    Coleção CLE-Unicamp/Cultura Acadêmica-UNESP. 2017.
    We are in the information age. Nowadays, the information is a high power commodity. Your domain and handling have high economic, political, social value. However, we still know little about it. What is the information? How do we store it, retrieve it and manipulate it? Everyone have or should have equal access to information? What is the relationship between information and knowledge? How can both influence and be influenced by the action? Can they are modeled? The models can contribute to your …Read more

    ¿Son las computadoras agentes inteligentes capaces de conocimiento?
    with Gustavo Esparza
    Daimon: Revista Internacional de Filosofía 90 13-28. 2023.
    The purpose of this paper is to study the philosophical basis of the architecture of two Artificial Intelligence systems (AlphaGo and Hide and Seek). The problem considers the elucidation of the epistemological distinction between “knowledge” and “intuition” and questions whether the fulfillment of a programmed metric can be considered as a product of knowledge or, as an example of intuitive thinking. Through the analysis of both examples, it is shown that achieving the desired objective (winnin…Read more

    Towards a homotopy domain theory
    with Ruy J. G. B. de Queiroz
    Archive for Mathematical Logic 62 (3): 559-579. 2022.
    An appropriate framework is put forward for the construction of $$\lambda $$ -models with $$\infty $$ -groupoid structure, which we call homotopic $$\lambda $$ -models, through the use of an $$\infty $$ -category with cartesian closure and enough points. With this, we establish the start of a project of generalization of Domain Theory and $$\lambda $$ -calculus, in the sense that the concept of proof (path) of equality of $$\lambda $$ -terms is raised to higher proof (homotopy).

    James Duff Brown: A Librarian Committed to the Public Library and the Subject Classification
    with José Augusto Chaves Guimarães and Rodrigo de Sales
    Knowledge Organization 48 (5): 375-396. 2022.
    After two decades in the 21st Century, and despite all the advances in the area, some very important names from past centuries still do not have the recognition they deserve in the global history of library and information science and, specifically, of knowledge organization. Although acknowledged in British librarianship, the name of James Duff Brown still does not have a proper recognition on a global scale. His contributions to a free and more democratic library had a prominent place in the w…Read more

    Epistemologias, gênero e dogmatismo científico
    with Mariana Rodrigues Gomes de Mello
    Logeion Filosofia da Informação 9 (1): 182-194. 2022.
    Há uma filosofia da diferença que precisa ser mais considerada nos nossos tempos, visto que se opõe à tradição filosófica identitária dos pré-socráticos à atualidade, que se apegou obstinadamente à ideia de identidade, que vislumbra o real, somente através da referência ao idêntico. Nessa perspectiva, os anseios e peculiaridades dos mais diversos movimentos sociais precisam ser ouvidos de modo mais efetivo pela filosofia e pela ciência. Mesmo nas ciências exatas, a teoria não é eterna, quanto ma…Read more

    The stochastic component in choice and regression to the mean
    with Aurora García-Gallego, Nikolaos Georgantzís, and Gerardo Sabater-Grande
    Theory and Decision 71 (2): 251-267. 2011.
    In this article, we illustrate experimentally an important consequence of the stochastic component in choice behaviour which has not been acknowledged so far. Namely, its potential to produce ‘regression to the mean’ (RTM) effects. We employ a novel approach to individual choice under risk, based on repeated multiple-lottery choices (i.e. choices among many lotteries), to show how the high degree of stochastic variability present in individual decisions can distort crucially certain results thro…Read more

    Desinformação, verdade e pós-verdade
    with Mariana Rodrigues Gomes de Mello
    Logeion Filosofia da Informação 7 (2): 108-127. 2021.
    A partir do conceito de verdade no decurso da Teoria do Conhecimento, do contexto da pós-verdade e das reflexões de Piaget sobre o desenvolvimento cognitivo, objetiva-se criar um espaço pra reflexão de como os criterios sobre verdade foram construídos históricamente, e inter-relacioná-los com elementos da pós-verdade e da desinformação. Metodologicamente, trata-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica. O caráter exploratório se dá justamente com o paralelo entre a temática e as fases do desenvolvimento cog…Read more

    Diálogos entre a informatika e a ciência da informação
    with Mariana Rodrigues Gomes de Mello
    Logeion Filosofia da Informação 8 (1): 61-76. 2021.
    De um lado a Ciência da Informação foi se consolidando no eixo occidental, a partir década de 1960, expandindo sua influência inteletual em países da America Latina, substuindo uma tradição francesa-europeia de Documentação, e como meio de controle ideológico e da informação; do outro surge uma proposta reativa do eixo comunista, a Informatika. Posto isto, pretende-se neste ensaio criar lugar pra reflexão acerca de alguns pontos em que a Informatika influenciou a Ciência da Informação ocidental,…Read more

    ∞-Groupoid Generated by an Arbitrary Topological λ-Model
    with Ruy J. G. B. de Queiroz
    Logic Journal of the IGPL 30 (3): 465-488. 2022.
    The lambda calculus is a universal programming language. It can represent the computable functions, and such offers a formal counterpart to the point of view of functions as rules. Terms represent functions and this allows for the application of a term/function to any other term/function, including itself. The calculus can be seen as a formal theory with certain pre-established axioms and inference rules, which can be interpreted by models. Dana Scott proposed the first non-trivial model of the …Read more

    Reformas al Estado Social en América Latina: un análisis desde el desarrollo en el nuevo constitucionalismo latinoamericano
    with Juan Daniel Giraldo Hincapié and Brigit Joaly Zapata Muñoz
    Revista Justicia y Derecho 5 68-102. 2017.
    Abstract: The New Latin-American Constitutionalism (NCL) is a new theory represented by the last-two decades constitutions of Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Bolivia. These constitutional texts share special characteristics in their originality and their comprehension of the features of their societies, which have originated new mechanism and institutions in constitutional theory, in order to advance the development of their nations. This paper analyzes the aspects of democracy, economic regul…Read more
