24Issues concerning linguistic meaning and form: Introductory remarksManuscrito 45 (1): 1-4. 2022.In this introduction we present Patrick Duffley's book Linguistic Meaning meets Linguistic Form, as well as the contributions that each scholar has brought into the debate on linguistic meaning and form. They deal with semantic and foundational issues regarding a sign-based approach to meaning.

35Bringing forth a world, literallyPhenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences 22 (4): 931-953. 2023.Our objective in this paper is twofold: first, we intend to address the tenability of the enactivist middle way between realism and idealism, as it is proposed in The Embodied Mind. We do so by taking the enactivist conception of bringing forth a world literally in three conceptual levels: enaction, niche construction and social construction. Based on this proposal, we claim that enactivism is compatible with the idea of an independent reality without committing to the claim that organisms have …Read more

70Virtual Reality, Embodiment, and Allusion: an Ecological-Enactive ApproachPhilosophy and Technology 35 (4): 1-23. 2022.It is common in the cognitive and computational sciences to regard virtual reality (VR) as composed of illusory experiences, given its immersive character. In this paper, we adopt an ecological-enactive perspective on cognition (Sect. 3) to evaluate the nature of VR and one’s engagement with it. Based on a post-cognitivist conception of illusion, we reject the commonly held assumption that virtual reality experiences (VREs) are illusory (Sect. 4). Our positive take on this issue is that VR devic…Read more

23Linguistic Meaning Meets Linguistic Form in ActionManuscrito 45 (1): 56-79. 2022.In this paper we suggest that Duffley’s sign-based semantics rests on two main claims: a methodological one and an ontological one. The methodological one is the analysis of corpora and the ontological one is the postulate of mental content. By adopting a linguistic enactivist perspective with a Wittgensteinian twist, we endorse Duffley’s methodological claim and suggest that a sign-based semantics doesn’t have to rely on mental content if it takes into account the conception of meaningful mater…Read more

23The Problem of the Unbridgeable Ontological Gap Between the Brain and Our Private Experiences in Wittgensteinian TermsDiscurso 49 (1): 185-203. 2019.The paper argues that the common notion that there is a gap between a physical scope, namely, brain processes, and something immaterial such as private experiences is an illusion provoked by the conceptual conflicts of our understanding. In order to overcome this illusion, it is necessary to clarify the foundations and implications of the uses of key concepts in the cognitive field.

27Mental or Neural Representations: Justifying the terminology used in cognitive neuroscienceVeritas – Revista de Filosofia da Pucrs 65 (2). 2020.In this paper we investigate whether one of the most common uses of the concept of representation is justifiable by suggesting the conditions under which it can be accepted and how it can be related to mental states. We present mental states in terms of private experiences and public events. We argue that a representation is a relation involving three main elements as well as the user of the representation, and defend that the conditions in which we can conceive neural activity as representation…Read more

26Questões atuais sobre corpo e linguagem: cognição corporificada, agenda empírica e enativismo linguísticoConjectura: Filosofia E Educação 1 021007. 2021.Embodied approaches to human cognition emphasize the role of the body in processes of linguistic comprehension and production. Several empirical studies have presented support to these approaches. The recent linguistic enactivist approach to cognition stands out for suggesting that we have to deepen our concept of the body. In this context, we present: 1) neurological and psychological evidence supporting the claim that concepts are embodied; 2) two theoretical approaches to embodied cognition i…Read more

24Book review: Di Paolo, Ezequiel, de jaegher, Hanne & cuffari, Elena. Linguistic bodies: The continuity between life and language (review)Manuscrito 43 (1): 151-170. 2020.In this review, I briefly explain some of the key concepts of the book in order to offer a panoramic view of the theory of linguistic bodies. Following the book's structure, I first describe the authors’ notion of body, then refer to their notion of dialectics, after that, I expose the steps of the model and, finally, get to their conception of languaging.

10On the notion of dialectics in the linguistic bodies theoryFilosofia Unisinos 22 (1): 108-116. 2021.This paper addresses the notion of dialectics in the linguistic bodies theory. First, it presents it as a three-aspect concept, namely, the ontological aspect, the methodological aspect, and the dialectical model. Subsequently, it discusses the ontological aspect and the dialectical model and, based on the enactivist linguistic notions of concreteness and abstraction, suggests that it can be conceived as a two-fold concept: methodological and epistemological. This suggestion intends to avoid the…Read more
