Més enllà de les diferències culturals? Naturalesa humana i alteritat cultural
2010
La diversitat cultural ha interessat des dels seus inicis a la filosofia moderna. No obstant això, al començament ho va fer d’una manera paradoxal: reduint la pluralitat a un mínim comú predicat com a universal de la humanitat. Aquest article analitza les relacions entre filosofia i antropologia quan, a la vista de ladiversitat cultural, de dilucidar una naturalesa humana es tracta.
Beyond cultural differences?
2011
From the outset, modern philosophy has taken an interest in cultural diversity. However, at the start it did so paradoxically, by reducing plurality to the lowest common denominator universal to humanity. In view of cultural diversity, this article analyzes the relationships between philosophy and anthropology when it comes to discerning human nature.
Thought Experiments, Justice and Character
2012
A significant number of philosophers seem to assume that the study of thought experiments in light of a series of sketchy examples (and counterexamples) constitutes the best means to advance the philosophical debate. It is not my purpose to deny that thought experiments must play a role in philosophical reflection on moral issues, but to stress the need to complement this methodological resource with other means of understanding that may help us to discern the moral demands we may eventually confront. For, otherwise, one may unkowingly project onto the thought experiment itself a rather elementary comprehension of our moral practices, which may thereby seem confirmed.
Morality, Self-Knowledge and Human Suffering [introduction]
2012
This essay is in search of some light as to how one should respond to a certain kind of human suffering. The word 'should' undoubtedly raises a normative issue, and also the use of 'one' to refer to whoever may be subject to the corresponding normative demand. Choice of such words is hardly neutral and betrays a certain philosophical stance that, I hope, further considerations in this book will reasonably ground.
Agency in the Space of Reasons. A comment on *The Castle*
2021
The received view regards the agent's experience and the external world as split by an unsurmountable metaphysical gulf; while an agent's desires belong to the inner and motivate her to act in one or another way, the outer is presented as a domain deprived of any evaluative properties. *In the Retrieval of Ethics*, Talbot Brewer argues that we can hardly make sense of our agency if the inner and the outer are thus kept apart, since an agent's motivations must be sensitive to the good and the good must be placed on the outside; it must be experienced as something she confronts. In this paper, I will stress that, in *The Castle*, there is no way in which K. might succeed in separating the inn…

Understanding our past : descriptions and judgements of value
2008
Historians have recently been expressing concern about the political uses of the past. However, there is considerable variation in what is understood by “political use”, and that variation is concomitant with what each author considers an unacceptable or misleading use of the past. Here I am going to refer to a particular political use of the past which is immediately related with the construction—some say “recovery”, others “imagining”—of traditions. The use that consists in stating that we cannot judge other times from our own time, that the values and beliefs of each age are so different and discontinuous from ours that the historian must make a moral epoché and devote himself to underst…
