    In this paper we analyze Libet’s conclusions on «free will» (FW), rejecting his view of the concept and defending a partially aligned view with Wittgenstein’s early remarks on FW. First, the concept of Readiness Potential (RP) and Libet’s view are presented. Second, we offer an account of Wittgenstein´s point of view. Third, a dual-domain analysis is proposed; finally, we offer our conclusions. This article´s conclusions are part of an ongoing research.

    Ontología analítica contemporánea: el legado del debate Carnap-Quine
    In Roger De Jesús Sepúlveda Fernández (ed.), Estudios filosóficos en ciencia, tecnología y sociedad, Universidad Del Atlántico. pp. 135-148. 2018.
    El debate que se gestó alrededor del concepto de existencia en manos de Willard Van Orman Quine y Rudolf Carnap, dio al siglo XX un cúmulo de aportes significativos a la ontología. La postura realista, con algunas variantes, de Quine y el criterio anti-realista de Carnap, otorga insumos para pensar de mejor forma cómo se intenta dar descripciones acerca del inmobiliario del mundo. Conocer este debate es importante, ya que, se expone los alcances y limitaciones que implican las explicaciones ont…Read more

    Proceedings of the XXIII World Congress of Philosophy 35 77-81. 2018.
    Julio Enrique Blanco, filósofo colombiano que desarrolló su trabajo en la primera mitad del siglo XX, se ocupa de la fenomenología de Husserl como parte de su propio tratamiento de la historia de la filosofía en su “Curso de historia comparativa de los principales sistemas de la filosofía”. Su crítica a Husserl constituye un caso que permite poner en perspectiva las interpretaciones tradicionales de la historia de la filosofía en Colombia y confrontar con el contexto en Latinoamérica. Este artíc…Read more

    The Transdisciplinary Legacy of Ernst Mach: From the Analysis of Sensations to the GPS Inside the Brain
    with Eduardo Barrera, Ronald Villa, and David Dahmen
    In Friedrich Stadler (ed.), Ernst Mach – Life, Work, Influence, Springer Verlag. 2019.
    Ernst Mach’s writings remain as thought provoking today as when he first produced them but not so much for his treatment of physics as for the epistemological implications inherent in his vision of how sensations unify the physical with the psychical. For over a hundred years the breach between the objective and subjective or theory and the empirical has been widening due to the increasing abstraction of mathematical frameworks necessary to conceptualize the ever smaller scale of elementary part…Read more
  • Appraisal and Influence of Mach’s Works in South America
    with Ronald Villa, David Dahmen, and Eduardo Barrera
    In Friedrich Stadler (ed.), Ernst Mach – Life, Work, Influence, Springer Verlag. 2019.
    Perhaps the first approach in South America to the work of Mach of which we have knowledge is the study on the Analyse der Empfindungen made by Colombian philosopher Julio Enrique Blanco in Barranquilla, which was derived from his interest in the explanation of living phenomena in general and the psychophysical problem in particular. Despite the difficulty in tracing the path of the work of Mach on South American soil, another point of contact was identified through the influence exerted by Hans…Read more
