"Los conceptos fenoménicos y el argumento del conocimiento"
12hrs
Aula 3, IIFs
Resumen: El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la estrategia del concepto fenoménico como una respuesta al enigma de María. Defenderé la idea de que hay un poco de verdad detrás de la afirmación de que los conceptos fenoménicos se requieren para responder al enigma de María. Pero es difícil caracterizar a los conceptos fenoménicos; hay muchas maneras de entenderlos, y muchas de esas maneras son equivocadas. En la primera parte, explicaré los requisitos que los conceptos fenoménicos deben satisfacer para resolver el enigma de María. En la segunda parte, presentaré diferentes explicaciones de lo que es un concepto fenoménico y mostraré las dificultades que cada uno de ellos presenta. Finalmente, desarrollaré mi propia explicación de los conceptos fenoménicos. Mi tesis es que éstos no son meras etiquetas de nuestras experiencias fenoménicas como muchos defensores de estas nociones sostienen. Más bien, son conceptos complejos cuyas condiciones de posesión dependen de la competencia en otros conceptos, de hecho, de conceptos tan complejos como la distinción entre la apariencia y la realidad (la cual pertence a nuestro sistema de teoría de la mente), y conceptos de color (por lo menos en el caso de los conceptos fenoménicos necesarios para dar cuenta del caso de María). Y estos últimos conceptos tienen condiciones de posesión especiales: incluyen el uso de capacidades de reconocimiento no conceptuales.

Conferencia 1: "Minding the Gap"
12hrs
Sala Fernando Salmerón, IIFs
Abstract:
Human beings are ‘intuitive dualists’. Deep down, we all think that persons cannot be explained in causal-mechanistic terms. This intuition lies at the root of philosophical puzzlement over the ‘explanatory gap’ between the mental and the physical. The explanatory gap is psychologically real, and it calls for an explanation of its own. In this talk I set out to show how recent work in cognitive neuroscience, and the neuroscience of social cognition in particular, can contribute to such an explanation. The key idea is that thinking about something as a locus of conscious experience is architecturally opposed to thinking about that thing in causal-mechanical terms — and that this opposition helps to explain the origin and persistence of the explanatory gap.

Conferencia 2: "Consciousness and the Social Mind"
16hrs
Aula 6, IIFs
Abstract:
Phenomenal consciousness and social cognition are interlocking capacities, but the relations between them have yet to be systematically investigated. In this paper, I begin to develop a theoretical and empirical framework for such an investigation. I begin by describing the phenomenon known as social pain: the affect associated with the perception of actual or potential damage to one’s interpersonal relations. I then adduce a related phenomenon known as affective contagion: the tendency for emotions, moods, and other affective states to spread from person to person in social contexts. Experimental studies of these two phenomena suggest that affective consciousness depends on perception of the social world in much the same way that it depends on perception of the body -- in short, that consciousness is ‘socially embodied’. In the second part of the paper I argue that the distinctive sociality of our species, especially its moral dimension, rests heavily on our ability to represent the conscious states of others. In closing, I put these ideas together and show how they point to a circular causal-mechanistic nexus between consciousness and social mindedness.

"A Semantic View of Logical Form"

16 hrs
Aula 6, IIFs
Resumen: Logical form has always been a central concern of the analytic tradition in philosophy. From the very beginning of this tradition, the study of logical form has been privileged as a method of investigation, trusting to its capacity to reveal the structure of the thoughts we express, or the structure of the world those thoughts represent if they are true. Yet there are fundamental questions about logical form that, in spite of being still unanswered, have not received as much attention as one might expect from the credit given to that method. This talk focuses on such questions. According to the view that will be outlined and defended - the semantic view - logical form is essentially a property of the things we say, rather than a property of the sentences we utter to say them. Logical form is determined by truth-conditions, so it cannot be individuated in terms of the linguistic meaning of the words occurring in the sentence and the way they are combined. The rationale for the semantic view comes from ordinary practice of formalization, and in particular from the assumption that a translation of a set of sentences into a formal language must provide a representation of those sentences that displays the relations between their truth-conditions. The ascription of logical form is thus a substantive semantic affair, and in many cases we are not in a position to know what is the logical form of a sentence. This has interesting epistemological consequences, such as the consequence that there is no a priori knowledge of logical form.
