The Third Way of Cognitive Science and the Middle Way of Buddhism
2013
Even though cognitive science may not be established as a mature science, being rather a loose affiliation of disciplines which make human cognition a scientific theme, it has already had significant impact in the field of epistemology. Since the late 1970s, research conducted on aspects of cognition ranging from perception to language has laid the groundwork for a fundamental epistemological shift in cognitive science, which bears directly on the Western philosophical dilemma of whether reality is objective (and independent of our cognition) or subjective (and so our mind’s projection). My aim here is to trace some major developments in the history of cognitive science leading to the emerg…

Comments on “Information Systems as a Social Science” by R.K. Stamper
2000
Ronald Stamper’s paper presents a well-written and systematic account of the subjectivist and social-constructivist view of information system concepts, which is enjoyable to read. It should be read by anyone interested in theoretical discourse around information system phenomena.
Negative Platonism and Maximal Existence in the Thought of Jan Patocka
2010
According to Jan Patocka’s “negative Platonism,” ordinary, or “positive” Platonism makes a fundamental mistake in formulating Plato’s true “discovery,” i.e., the Idea, as a non-objective determination of objectivity, in terms of an ideal object that sensible objects are supposed to imitate. Does this mean that Plato himself misunderstood the epimeleia tēs psychēs and human self-knowledge (exetasis)? Analogously, Patocka states that “classical phenomenology fell victim to its own discoveries and their imprecise formulation.” Is this due to the transcendental subjectivism of Husserlian thought or, rather, to the fact that Husserl could theorize only the modes of givenness of an object? These …
La intimidad corporal en la filosofía de Ortega y Gasset
2015
[EN] In the face of the social crisis of intimacy for the extimacy, in neurosciences, and its reduction to privacy in legal field, this article explains the orteguian idea of the intimacy highlighting its bodily character. This notion of intimacy, rooted in body, discovers the sentimental aspect of reality (lyricism), and also overcomes thingism and subjectivism through the analysis of the mechanism of metaphor and the capacity of entering yourself. Reality of intimacy is conceived as enforceability (executive reality), and represents an alternative to idealism, objetivism of conscience and psychological introspection.
First Trip Abroad: Expectations, Experiences and Stories of Transnational Romanians
2014
Abstract The paper analyzes transnational Romanians’ stories about their first trip abroad. The concept of physical mobility is seen in a broader framework for understanding transnational and cosmopolitan behaviours as well as international migration. In order to distinguish between different types of travelling for the first trip abroad the article is constructed keeping in mind the structural changes and constraints regarding physical mobility for Romanian citizens. During the process of transition from a communist country to the status of EU member, Romanian citizens’ stories about travelling abroad for the first time fundamentally changed. Labour migrants, asylum seekers, business trave…
Normativity, moral realism, and unmasking explanations
2004
Moral Projectivism must be able to specify under what conditions a certain inner response counts as a moral response. I argue, however, that moral projectivists cannot coherently do so because they must assume that there are moral properties in the world in order to fix the content of our moral judgements. To show this, I develop a number of arguments against moral dispositionalism, which is, nowadays, the most prom- ising version of moral projectivism. In this context, I call into question both David Lewis' dispositionalist account of colour and Chistine Korsgaard's procedural realism.
Interactionist Approach to Visual Aesthetics in HCI
2021
Visual Aesthetics has gathered interest among scholars in HCI research. The growing interest stems from examinations of the aesthetic-usability effect (“what is beautiful is usable”), and possibly vice versa. Thus, numerous studies focus on understanding how we make sense and experience visual entities in interacting with technology. However, theoretical, and methodological stances vary, which impact conclusions of the studies conducted, and thus, affect design implications. Visual experience research in HCI lacks detailed conceptualizations of the constituents of visual experience and understanding of how these conceptualizations affect the overall research results through implicit methodo…
The Role of Ciphering in Phenomenology of Life
2004
Contemporary philosophy is inseparable from the general tendencies of spiritual life that have dominated over the past centuries. The ruling tendency of European-type philosophy has been the affirmation of a democratic life style, liberal values and human individuality and creative activity. The testimony to this is the proportional growth of the philosophy of subjectivism since modern times, the division of pure practical reason and reasoning into separate spheres to substantiate fundamental human abilities, to analyse the ways of grasping the world — such as cognition, understanding, intuition, deciphering, experience — and describe man’s correlation with beingness (cosmos). Epistemology …
SUBJETIVISMO ÉTICO Y OBJECIÓN DE CONCIENCIA
2018
In this paper, I will present the conceptual differences between civil disobedience and conscientious objection, which have been depicted by liberal authors such as J. Rawls, J. Raz and in Spain by M. Gascón Abellán. I will argue that conscientious objection, as a practice that is distinct from civil disobedience and rests on a right to “moral privacy”, finds his justification on a subjectivist ethics or on a voluntarist account of natural law. I will try to show that in both cases, it is not clear how a) to justify legal norms that tries to balance the objectors’ claims and the opposite claims of rights’ holders b) to determine the seriousness of the ethical commitment of conscientious obj…
