L'Assaig sobre l'origen del llenguatge de J.G. Herder
2011
This article analyzes Herder's conception of language through the Essay on the origin of language. Human beings have developed at the same time awareness and language in order to fill the gap that the loss of natural instinct leaves. To explain this process Herder defends a kind of naturalistic position against both arbitrary and divine origin of language. One of his main points is the influence of signals in symbols. On one hand, thanks to signals we can grasp and keep what is at the heart of the experience. On the other hand, human nature is a mixture of sense and reason so that signals have a close relation with symbols which are, in spite of that, freely chosen. From this peculiar choic…
Historiografía de la filosofía y neohistoricismo
2012
Article redefines the classic question of the history of Philosophy, its forms, meaning and justification, for this it incorporates the basic positions held on the subject by Fernando Montero and considers its connection with other contemporary approaches such as those of R. Rorty, with his distinction between historical reconstruction, rational reconstruction and Geistegeschichte approach, as three valid forms for the history of philosophy, that may also connect with the intellectual history, which takes us to the major historiographical transformations occurring along the last five decades associated with the names of Foucault, Koselleck, Blumenberg, Skinner and Pocock. Throughout this de…
Significado y valor: la crítica pragmatista al emotivismo
2006
Pragmatism and Logical Positivism constitute different traditions in philosophy, though for a period of time they shared some views and had intellectual and social interests in common. John Dewey, in particular, collaborated to the International Encyclopedia of Unified Science promoted by Carnap, Neurath, and other positivists. In this relationship, the topic of values were the main issue. For the positivist party, emotivism represented the 'official doctrine' regarding ethical (or, in general, evaluative) sentences; whereas for Dewey value judgements had full, genuine empirical meaning. Here we examine Dewey's crticism of emotivism as represented by its best known theorist, Charles L. Stev…

Filosofía de la ciencia e historia de la ciencia
2005
The paper analyzes which is the proper role of history of science in philosophy of science. I argue that, traditionally, philosophy of science has focused on the normative dimension of science. Several positions within philosophy of science stem from different perspectives on such dimension. I classify them according to two variables (descriptivism/prescriptivism, and historicism/non-historicism). Then I discuss the role of history of science within all these four alternatives. I conclude that: (1) philosophers and historians pursue not only different, but opposite aims; (2) historical evidence is useful for assessing the relation between methods and results; besides this, only very simple …
De la utopía del conocimiento: Kant, Adorno y el destino trágico de la filosofíia
2003
Adorno admitted in different occasions that he had been a regular reader of Kant. In this article I set out to show the sign that that reading of Kant has left in some central points of Adorno¿s philosophy (in spite of the severe reserves that the program of a ¿negative dialectic¿ maintains with respect to Kant). In particular, I will try to show how the role that the concept-limit of thing-in-itself carried out in the transcendental idealism is occupied in Adorno¿s ¿negative dialectic¿ by the invitation to persecute a philosophy of the non-identity.
