On john maynard keynes's anti-semitism once again: A documentary note
2015
This note presents new archival evidence about John Maynard Keynes' attitudes toward Jews. The relevant material is composed of two letters sent by Robert G. Wertheimer to Bertrand Russell and Richard F. Kahn along with their replies. Between 1963 and 1964, Wertheimer - An Austrian-born Jewish immigrant then professor of economics at Babson College - wrote to Russell and Kahn asking for their personal reminiscences concerning Keynes' anti-Semitic utterances. In their brief but still significant responses, both Russell and Kahn firmly denied any hint of anti-Semitism in Keynes, thereby providing significant first-hand testimonies from two of his closest acquaintances.
Intenzionalità collettiva, ontologia sociale e mindreading
2014
In his Collective Intentions and Actions John Searle argued that having a preintentional sense of others as at least potentially cooperative agents “like me” is a necessary condition of collective intentionality. He also argued, in Rationality in Action, that understanding others qua intentional agents necessarily presupposes rationality because rational constraints are built into the logical structure of intentional phenomena. In this paper we will try to specify further these claims in the light of current debate on mindreading, where other-understanding is spelled out either in terms of automatic, subpersonal simulative mechanisms, or in terms of normative, rational principles. We will a…
Importància de la psicologia en l'economia i finances del comportament
2018
espanolDentro del campo de la Economia, la teoria de la Utilidad Esperada (UE) ha dominado la toma de decisiones bajo situaciones de riesgo. Sin embargo, la explicacion de la realidad por parte de los modelos neoclasicos ha puesto de manifiesto que los agentes violan de forma sistematica las hipotesis de la teoria de la UE. Para tratar de explicar estas anomalias, algunas teorias han incorporado la Psicologia en la toma de decisiones. Entre estas, la mas influyente es la Prospect Theory desarrollada por Kahneman i Tversky (1979), que es considerada, hasta nuestros dias como una referencia imprescindible para comprender el desarrollo de las Finanzas del Comportamiento. catalaDintre del camp …

¿Por qué conservamos la biodiversidad? Un breve recorrido sociológico, psicológico y moral
2017
espanolEn este trabajo se muestran, de manera muy sucinta, algunos conceptos fundamentales sobre los valores que subyacen en la toma de las decisiones sobre la conservacion de la biodiversidad, asi como las bases psicologicas de la deliberacion en este contexto. Para ello, se describe, en primer lugar, un modelo sociologico clasico que ayuda a predecir la asignacion de recursos para la conservacion, basado en la construccion social y el poder “politico” oculto de las diferentes especies. En segundo lugar, se vincula dicho modelo con la taxonomia de valores subyacentes (no necesariamente excluyentes). Finalmente, se discute la base psicologica de la deliberacion valorativa a partir de la teo…
