    Outline of a Neurophilosophical Exploration of Attention
    Principia: An International Journal of Epistemology 30 (1): 217-239. 2026.
    This article outlines a non-reductive neurophilosophical exploration of attention, arguing that its current scientific study is marked by ambiguities and internal inconsistencies. We propose that dominant reductive and anthropocentric assumptions have led contemporary research on attention into conceptual dead ends—including an overreliance on so-called “analytical approaches”, rigid dichotomies, and circular reasoning—that continue to obstruct the formulation of a coherent scientific definition…Read more

Given the importance of understanding subjectiveness in such terms, this chapter aims to propose an alternative perspective that considers not only the phenomenology of subjective experiences but also the underlying processes and mechanisms. We will start from Sellarsian worldviews and the illusionist philosophical current to explain that all our perceptual experiences…Read more

    In this work, we introduce what we believe to be a more sensitive variation of the Metaproblem of consciousness, structured by philosopher Keith Frankish (2017): the Illusion Problem. To do so, we explore the process that leads us to treat each and every quale as an illusion, in addition to showing how qualia are present in most supposedly physicalist theories, which we will later call “Closeted Dualism”. We also emphasize that the illusionist theory is already widely used or considered by philo…Read more
