Willem Boshoff, artist's monograph and catalogue
2013
Willem Boshoff’s work articulates around a pivotal date, April 1994, the first democratic elections in South Africa. He may choose to work gigantic rocks of granite or establish vast installations of accumulated material. The artist claims that his work is based on language, often taking the form of Dictionaries. While reviewing the main questions by artists of the twentieth century, texts or artworks from Europe are systematically tested against their South African counterpart. Boshoff’s attitude is determined by a melancholic questioning of his role as a creator linked to a political situation and cultural milieu. He discovers more dynamic ways of presenting gestures when his artistic act…
Philosophy of Mathematics and Ontological Commitment
2000
This paper concerns Quine's classification of philosophies of mathematics as sketched in "On what there is" and offers a new reading of Quine's view. In his famous paper Quine defines three positions: Realism, Conceptualism, and Nominalism. Each of them, he says, has its modern expression, respectively, in Logicism, Intuitionism, and Formalism.

Consistent with his own criterion for ontological commitment (buttressed by his view on impredicative definitions), Quine adopts the Realist (or the Platonist) position in mathematics. Lat…
Arte, Música y Conceptualismo en América Latina
2021
Se investiga la relación entre el arte y la música desde el conceptualismo, que valida la existencia de un arte sonoro y de una música conceptuales, cuyas estéticas se alejan de la percepción coclear, para enfocarse en el campo de las ideas. Se sientan los antecedentes y se analiza el desarrollo de estos campos en occidente (Europa y Estados Unidos de América) desde las vanguardias del siglo XX hasta los años 60, para luego hacer una cartografía de la historia del conceptualismo sónico en Latino América desde los años 50 al presente, al redefinir, revalorar y contrastar las aportaciones que se han hecho en el continente, con un enfoque que se centra más en lo político y social, pero sin olv…
Perceptual contents : a study on the nature of the contents of perceptual experience
2013
The aim of the thesis is to examine various views that have been advocated in contemporary discussions concerning the content of perceptual experiences. The nature of the contents posited in those views is the focus of this study. In the views that are discussed here, perceptual contents have been argued to be either conceptual, externalist, nonconceptual or particular. In this thesis, John McDowell is presented as the proponent of conceptual content, Jeff Speaks as the proponent of externalist content, Christopher Peacocke as the proponent of abstract nonconceptual contents, and Tim Crane as the proponent of particular nonconceptual content. The revised view of John McDowell, as well as th…
