Mind, brain, and downward causation
2011
Este trabajo tiene tres partes. En la primera, exponemos algunas nociones básicas, como las de causalidad mental e intencional, así como la de causalidad misma; procedemos a continuación a formular algunas tesis, inspiradas en las ciencias naturales, y a mostrar cómo parecen entrar en conflicto con la aceptación de la causalidad intencional. Este conflicto es el núcleo del problema de la causalidad mental. En la segunda parte, presentamos y discutimos brevemente algunas propuestas para abordar este problema, y tratamos de sacar a la luz sus dificultades. Finalmente, en la tercera parte, planteamos tentativamente algunas sugerencias sobre el modo en que el problema de la causalidad intencion…
Elisabeth on Free Will, Preordination, and Philosophical Doubt
2021
Elisabeth is widely known as a critic of René Descartes' account of mind--body interaction and scholarly interpretations of her view on the will most often pose the question about the freedom of the will in relation to bodily impulses such as the passions. This chapter takes a different perspective and focuses on the problem of the compatibility of free will and providence, as it is discussed in a sequence of six letters that Elisabeth and Descartes wrote between September 1645 and January 1646. The chapter focuses on this specific metaphysical problem in order to ask what Elisabeth's remarks on the topic can tell about her general philosophical method as well as about her particular philos…

The Vaccination Concerns in COVID-19 Scale (VaCCS) : Development and validation
2022
Vaccines are highly effective in minimizing serious cases of COVID-19 and pivotal to managing the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite widespread availability, vaccination rates fall short of levels required to bring about widespread immunity, with low rates attributed to vaccine hesitancy. It is therefore important to identify the beliefs and concerns associated with vaccine intentions and uptake. The present study aimed to develop and validate, using the AMEE Guide, the Vaccination Concerns in COVID-19 Scale (VaCCS), a comprehensive measure of beliefs and concerns with respect to COVID-19 vaccines. In the scale development phase, samples of Australian (N = 53) and USA (N = 48) residents completed a…

Introduction
2019
The introduction gives a brief overview of some important developments in recent scholarship on René Descartes and Baruch Spinoza. It is argued that there has been a shift of focus, away from Descartes-the-dualist towards an interest in Descartes’ ethics and his conception of the human being as a union of mind and body. This turn has also given rise to new perspectives on the relations between Descartes and Spinoza. After having presented the area of research covered by the volume, the introduction offers short presentations of the individual chapters. These are divided into three parts: the first part focusing on different features of Cartesian persons; the second discussing different aspe…
