ArticleCould you please repeat it? The effect of language, and language variety on trust in multinational settings(Elsevier, 2026-02) Rodon i Casarramona, Antoni; Puertas, Bernat; Flors-Mas, Avel·lí; Franco Guillén, Núria; Morales-Gálvez, SergiDoes the language or dialect used in political messages affect people’s trust? While previous research has considered the question, little is known about how different languages and accents shape trust. Using an experimental matched-guise design in Catalonia, we test how standard Catalan, standard Spanish, and accented versions of both affect listeners’ trust in the speaker. We find that people generally trust the standard, non-accented version more, especially when it comes from their in-group. This effect is even stronger among individuals with a strong Catalan or Spanish identity–especially the latter–and among those on the far right.- ArticleFundamental sequences and fast-growing hierarchies for the Bachmann-Howard ordinal(Elsevier B.V., 2024) Fernández Duque, David; Weiermann, AndreasHardy functions are defined by transfinite recursion and provide upper bounds for the growth rate of the provably total computable functions in various formal theories, making them an essential ingredient in many proofs of independence. Their definition is contingent on a choice of fundamental sequences, which approximate limits in a ‘canonical’ way. In order to ensure that these functions behave as expected, including the aforementioned unprovability results, these fundamental sequences must enjoy certain regularity properties. In this article, we prove that Buchholz’s system of fundamental sequences for the ϑ function enjoys such conditions, including the Bachmann property. We partially extend these results to variants of the ϑ function, including a version without addition for countable ordinals. We conclude that the Hardy functions based on these notation systems enjoy natural monotonicity properties and majorize all functions defined by primitive recursion along ϑ(εΩ+1).
- ArticleWho should be the master of my words? On authority and linguistic justice(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2026-04) Morales-Gálvez, SergiMost scholars working on linguistic justice within political theory deal with questions of distributive justice, but not with the question as to who should have the authority to decide over linguistic rules. However, the distribution of linguistic authority in a given community is a relevant issue. This is so because some distributions of linguistic authority might situate some (minority) groups at the mercy of other (majority) groups. Accordingly, this paper addresses three problems associated with language and the authority question: linguistic domination, the lack of interpretative power and alienation. My fundamental argument is that none of them can be addressed without including the authority question into the equation. In particular, the paper explores the relationship between mainstream theories of linguistic justice and these three normative evils. I show how these theories have difficulties addressing these phenomena and why including the authority dimension is a necessary move.
- ArticleA Non-Causalist Account of the Explanatory Autonomy in the Psychological Sciences(Springer Verlag, 2024-08-27) Díez, José A. (José Antonio), 1961-; Pineda Oliva, DavidIt has been often claimed that physicalism challenges the explanatory autonomy of psychological sciences. Most who advocate for such explanatory autonomy and do not want to renounce to physicalism, presuppose a causalist account of explanatoriness and try to demonstrate that, adequately construed, (causal) psychological explanations are compatible with (some sufficient version of) physicalism. In Sect. 1 we summarize the different theses and assumptions involved in the seeming conflict between explanatory autonomy and physicalism. In Sect. 2 we review the main attempts to make them compatible assuming a causalist account of explanation and argue that none succeeds. In Sect. 3 we introduce a recent, non-causalist account of scientific explanation as ampliative, specialized embedding (ASE) that has been successfully applied to other fields. In Sect. 4 we apply ASE to elucidate two paradigmatic cognitive explanations of psychological phenomena: déjà vu and action production. We conclude that ASE elucidates well the autonomy of the cognitive explanations of these phenomena independently of what finally happens with the causal exclusion problem and that it may be generalized to other psychological explanations.
- ArticleEpistemologies of the Oppressed: Pragmatist and Feminist Approaches to Class, Gender, and Race(Central European Pragmatist Forum, 2021) Miras Boronat, Núria SaraIn the last decades, several scholars have reviewed the official genealogy of pragmatism and have challenged the orthodox narrative of its origins. The paper vindicates the legacy of Jane Addams, Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Anna Julia Cooper, who were active in the foundations of both movements, feminism and pragmatism, but their contributions remain, until now, barely acknowledged. Following Charlene Haddock Seig- freid’s suggestion in Pragmatism and Feminism: Reweav- ing the Social Fabric (1996), that pragmatist feminism during the progressive era lacked a theory of oppression, a critical examination of their social philosophies is of- fered in order to prove that they did have original thoughts on oppression. An epistemology of the op- pressed is presented in three senses. First, it looks at Jane Addams’s and Hull-House residents social experi- mentalism as a form of producing almost simultaneously social knowledge and concrete social interventions. Second, it takes Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper” as an example of the use of political imagina- tion to denounce the gender bias of our androcentric culture, which might be an effective means to prevent human costs derived from male domination. Third, it recovers Anna Julia Cooper’s pointing at the ontological negation that affects groups suffering multiple forms of oppression, as Black women of the South, as an inherent danger of the implicit, unconscious dynamics of exclu- sion within activism. To conclude, the paper proposes paths for further research in the direction of a radical feminist and pragmatist approach to social philosophy based upon the perspective of the epistemology of the oppressed.
- ArticleHerder i la idea d'una nova mitologia(Institut d'Estudis Catalans, 2018) Rius Santamaria, Carles, 1963-En aquesta comunicació s'analitzen els dos textos en els quals Herder reflexiona sobre la idea d'una nova mitologia: Del nou ús de la mitologia (1767), i Iduna, o la poma del rejoveniment (1796). Explico com en el primer assaig l'autor presenta les característiques principals del que ell anomena «ús heurístic» o «nou ús» de la mitologia; i com en el segon mostra que també l'estudi dels mites nòrdics ens pot proporcionar nous elements per crear una poesia imaginativa. D'aquesta manera, podrem valorar l'aportació de Herder a un tema rellevant en la història de l'estètica, i entendre millor el seu desenvolupament posterior en pensadors del primer Romanticisme alemany com són: Hölderlin, el primer Hegel, Friedrich Schlegel i Schelling.
- ArticleEl pensamiento de la Bildung: de la mística medieval a Philipp Otto Runge(Universitat de Barcelona. Facultat de Filosofia. Departament de Filosofia Teorètica i Pràctica, 2010) Rius Santamaria, Carles, 1963-[spa] El concepto de Bildung, traducido por “formación”, es uno de los más determinantes de la cultura alemana: lo encontramos desde sus inicios en la Edad media hasta nuestros días, ejerciendo una función central en importantes campos como son la religión, la filosofía, la literatura, el arte y la educación. En un principio, el concepto de Bildung tomó relevancia en el contexto de la mística medieval; después su sentido cambió, conservando, empero, durante siglos parte del sentido religioso originario. En este escrito veremos cuatro momentos claves de su historia: la Edad media, el Renacimiento, el Sturm und Drang y el Romanticismo. Y terminaremos con la presencia de este concepto en la obra de un pintor alemán, Philipp Otto Runge, en quien tomó su expresión más abstracta y concreta al mismo tiempo.
- ArticleLa funció de l'artista en el pensament romàntic alemany(Universitat Ramon Llull, 2011-10-03) Rius Santamaria, Carles, 1963-Els orígens de la funció de l'artista en el Romanticisme alemany es remunten al concepte de Bildung de la mística medieval alemanya, a la seva idea de Déu com a procés de desenvolupament. Amb l'Sturm und Drang aquesta representació va prendre la forma d'una filosofia de la història que situà al geni artista com a col·laborador principal en el procés de la Creació. Els primers romàntics van concretar aquestes idees formant cercles, organitzant activitats i divulgant els seus escrits. I Schelling les va conceptualitzar en una filosofia. Aquest pensament romàntic ha tingut una continuïtat que es pot rastrejar en la filosofia i l'art contemporanis; també en alguns epígons catalans.
- ArticleH. E. Richter: l'intent de relacionar psicoanàlisi i ciències de la cultura(Generalitat de Catalunya, 2006) Rius Santamaria, Carles, 1963-L'autor exposa i valora les idees principals de la filosofia de Horst-Eberhard Richter i de la seva empresa intel·lectual en el seu intent d'eixamplar les bases i els límits de la psicoanàlisi fins abastar el conjunt de les ciències de la cultura, camí que ja havien iniciat també altres autors com ara Erich Fromm, Herbert Marcuse, Bruno Bettelheim, Alexander Mitscherlich, Paul Ricoeur, entre altres.
- ArticleSeeing Wrongness(Koninklijke Brill, 2024) Toribio Mateas, JosefaThis paper examines the plausibility of an attention-based version of moral perceptualism (amp). According to amp, our perception of moral properties is characterized by perceptual attentional patterns that reflect a sensitivity to morally salient features. First, I argue that the explanation for the empirical evidence offered to support amp primarily hinges on cognitive processes rather than perceptual ones. Second, while I acknowledge the critical importance of attention in recognizing moral properties, I contend that we must expand amp’s explanatory scope to address the question of what drives this attention. I propose an account of our (in)sensitivity to wrongness that builds on amp’s core statement. In this account, the notion of salience structure of information, defined by the varying accessibility of both perceptual and cognitive representations, plays a central explanatory role.
- ArticleQua-Objects, (Non-)Derivative Properties and the Consistency of Hylomorphism(De Gruyter, 2023-08-07) Campdelacreu i Arqués, Marta; Oms Sardans, Sergi, 1974-Imagine a sculptor who molds a lump of clay to create a statue. Hylomorphism claims that the statue and the lump of clay are two different colocated objects that have different forms, even though they share the same matter. Recently, there has been some discussion on the requirements of consistency for hylomorphist theories. In this paper, we focus on an argument presented by Maegan Fairchild, according to which a minimal version of hylomorphism is inconsistent. We argue that the argument is unsound or, at best, it just points to a well-known problem for hylmorphist theories. Additionally, we explore some general consequences of this fact.
- ArticleLa Ley del género: Derrida y Blanchot(Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 2023-12-21) Llevadot Pascual, Laura[esp] Este trabajo se propone desentrañar las aportaciones de Derrida a la teoría del género a partir del análisis de su lectura de la obra de Blanchot La foile du jour. Con este fin se analizará el contexto de aparición de este análisis en el Seminario sobre el don (Donner le temps, II), su relación con la cuestión del relato y el don, así como las figuras de la doble invaginación, el incesto, la ley y la norma. El propósito final del artículo es mostrar, a partir del análisis derridiano del texto de Blanchot, una modalidad de subversión de la ley del género que excede, y complementa, aquella planteada por Butler a partir del relato de Kafka Ante la ley.
- ArticleLiteratura y exilio: desarraigo, refugiados y ambigüedad de la memoria en el sur de Europa(Taylor & Francis, 2021) Miras Boronat, Núria SaraEn febrero de 2017, Barcelona congregó las manifestaciones más multitudinarias bajo el lema Refugees welcome! Al mismo tiempo, las políticas migratorias se han ido endureciendo bajo la influencia de movimientos neofascistas que alimentan el odio hacia los colectivos migrantes. ¿Cómo abordamos esta polarización social? ¿Cómo superamos la parálisis moral del sur de Europa con relación a las políticas de acogida y asilo? Dado que el lenguaje crea realidades, se propone, en primer lugar, analizar la vaguedad de los términos usados para describir los procesos de movilidad forzosa que contribuyen a la deshumanización de los migrantes. Las etimologías estudiadas evidencian, además, el uso politizado de los términos que acaba inhibiendo la respuesta colectiva. En segundo lugar, se recuperan fenomenologías del exilio de filósofos y escritores del Mediterráneo como Josep Solanes y María Zambrano. Basándonos en sus reflexiones se presentará el requisito de constitución de la memoria como imperativo ético ante una Europa desmemoriada de su propia condición de pueblo de colones, asilados, parias y refugiados. Recordar lo exílico como condición cuasi-transcendental puede devenir el pilar de la fraternidad y la solidaridad que nos hace falta.
- ArticleBienes ocultos: verdad y libertad en Michel Foucault(Universidad de Zaragoza, 2015) Cincunegui, Juan ManuelEn este artículo abordo la crítica que Charles Taylor realizó sobre el proyecto genealógico de Foucault. El reproche central que el filósofo canadiense dirige a Foucault gira en torno a la insistencia por parte de éste en mantener inarticulados los bienes que orientan su pensamiento. Los análisis histórico-críticos que el filósofo francés nos ha ofrecido, pretenden responder a la pregunta acerca de cómo hemos devenido lo que somos. Sin embargo, estos sólo resultan plausibles si reconocemos, como trasfondo, cierta noción de bien o de bienes no realizados, o reprimidos, que ahora estamos en mejores condiciones de comprender.
- ArticleInterview with Chiara Bottici(Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, 2025-03) Llevadot Pascual, LauraInterview with Chiara Bottici (New School for Social Research, NY) on her book «Anarcafeminism» (2023). Chiara Bottici is professor of Philosophy and director of Gender Studies at The New School for Social Research and Eugene Lang College in New York. She is known for her work on feminism and anarchism. She is the author of several books, including A Philosophy of Political Myth (Cambridge University Press, 2007), Imaginal Politics (Columbia University Press, 2014) and Per tre miti, forse quattro (Manni, 2016). With Jacob Blumenfeld and Simon Critchley, she has also edited The Anarchist Turn (Pluto Press, 2013) and in Spanish she has published Manifiesto anarcafeminista (Ned, 2021) and Anarcafeminismo (Ned, 2022).
- ArticleThe Baire closure and its logic(Association for Symbolic Logic, 2024-12-01) Bezhanishvili, Guram; Fernández Duque, DavidThe Baire algebra of a topological space X is the quotient of the algebra of all subsets of X modulo the meager sets. We show that this Boolean algebra can be endowed with a natural closure operator, resulting in a closure algebra which we denote Baire(X ). We identify the modal logic of such algebras to be the well-known system S5, and prove soundness and strong completeness for the cases where X is crowded and either completely metrizable and continuum-sized or locally compact Hausdorff. We also show that every extension of S5 is the modal logic of a subalgebra of Baire(X ), and that soundness and strong completeness also holds in the language with the universal modality.
- ArticleTopic-sensitivity and the Hyperintensionality of Knowledge(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2024-06-24) Rossi, Niccolò; Rosenkranz, SvenIt is natural to assume that knowledge, like belief, creates a hyperintensional context, that is, that knowledge ascriptions do not allow for substitution of necessarily equivalent prejacents salva veritate. There exist a variety of different proposals for modelling the phenomenon. In the last years, the topic-sensitive approach to the hyperintensionality of knowledge has gained considerable traction. It promises to provide a natural account of why knowledge fails to be closed under necessary equivalence in terms of differences in subject matter. Here, we argue that the topic-sensitive approach, as recently put forward by Franz Berto, Peter Hawke, Aybüke Özgün, and others, faces formidable problems. The root of these problems lies in the approach’s prediction that a mere grasp of subject matter may help to provide insights into necessary implications that it would seem to require more substantive epistemic work to gain.
- ArticleEpistemic Justification and the Folk Conceptual Gap(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2024) Mortini, DarioRecent experimental epistemology has devoted increasing attention to folk attributions of epistemic justification. Empirical studies have tested whether lay people ascribe epistemic justification in specific lottery-style vignettes (Friedman and Turri 2014, Turri and Friedman 2015, Ebert et al. 2018) and also to more ordinary beliefs (Nolte et al. 2021). In this paper, I highlight three crucial but hitherto uncritically accepted assumptions of these studies, and I argue that they are untenable. Central to my criticism is the observation that epistemic justification is a philosophical term of art mostly foreign to lay people: as such, it is not suitable for direct empirical testing without being previously introduced. This point reveals a folk conceptual gap between the subject matter of these experimental studies and the conceptual repertoire we can reasonably expect lay people to possess. I elaborate on this worry, and I end on a cautiously optimistic note: after suggesting better strategies to survey folk attributions of epistemic justification, I conclude that the challenge raised by the folk conceptual gap remains difficult but can in principle be addressed.
- ArticleDiscussing the Formal Components of Material Objects: A New Reply to Bennet(De Gruyter, 2024-02-07) Solís, AdriánRecently mereological hylomorphism, the theory in which form and matter are considered to be proper parts of objects, has become very important among contemporary metaphysicians. The present work aims to analyse and dismantle Bennett’s criticism regarding the existence of formal proper parts. To do this, I will start by presenting Koslicki’s mereological hylomorphism. Next, I will focus on Bennett’s critique which seeks to deny the existence of formal proper parts. Finally, I will analyse critically the Bennett’s criticism focusing on the scenario of lump of clay and statue. I will show Bennett’s proposal is not explanatorily better than Koslicki’s hylomorphism because she needs to accept a counter-intuitive thesis. Therefore, we should prefer Koslicki’s mereological hylomorphism.
- ArticlePrincipio de discurso y democracia directa: Faktizität und Geltung y la obra de B. Ackerman(Universitat d'Alacant, 2009) Abad i Ninet, Antoni; Monserrat i Molas, Josep, 1967-[spa] Destacamos los elementos de la obra de B. AckermAn que pueden mejorar el concepto de democracia deliberativa dirigida a la legitimación de las normas jurídicas propuesta por HAbermAs en Faktizität und Geltung en relación a los principios de democracia deliberativa, el principio nor mativo, el principio de universalidad, el principio de igualdad, el concepto de esfera pública y el concepto de ciudadanía. Esta complementación busca dotar de más elementos el proyecto ideal Habermasiano para consolidarse como un marco a seguir en la codificación de los derechos. Mediante la obra de B. AckermAn intentamos aportar algo a los denominados espacios vacíos que deja HAbermAs entre el discurso sobre principios universales de justificación racional y los sentidos de la vida histórica concreta, el paso de los problemas de interpretación, enjuiciamiento y aplicación normativa. Consideramos que la obra de AckermAn puede suponer una excelente con tribución al proceso de democracia deliberativa y a la acción comunicativa iniciada por HAbermAs y a las teorías contractualistas desde una perspectiva liberal.
