  2. (Weakly) Emergent Consciousness: Daniel Dennett’s Account of Consciousness Through the Lens of Complex Systems Science.Fernanda Cardoso - manuscript
    Many of the diverse attempts to solve the Hard Problem of Consciousness rely on emergentism. Those who adopt a strong version of emergentism usually argue that consciousness is ontologically irreducible to its underlying physical processes. In contrast, those who adopt a weak version of emergentism usually argue that consciousness is explanatorily irreducible to its underlying physical processes — whether due to epistemic or pragmatic limitations. In this context, the central argument of this paper is that Daniel Dennett’s account of consciousness (...)

  4. É possível uma subjetividade artificial? Algumas considerações filosóficas sobre os recentes avanços tecnológicos da inteligência artificial a partir do problema difícil da consciência.Fernanda Cardoso - 2024 - Filogenese 19 (1):23-48.
    Neste ensaio, abordo o problema de saber se é possível atribuir experiência consciente a um sistema de inteligência artificial, ou seja, o problema de saber se é possível algo como uma subjetividade artificial. Para abordar esse problema, primeiro recorro a dois textos clássicos da filosofia da mente: “Facing Up to the Problem of Consciousness” de David Chalmers (1995) e “What Is It Like to Be a Bat?” de Thomas Nagel (1974). Então, busco esclarecer quais são as (im)potencialidades das inteligências artificiais (...)

  5. Fundamentos do Empirismo: Os limites do conhecimento no Essay Concerning Human Understanding de Locke.Fernanda Cardoso - 2025 - Ensaios Filosóficos 31 (1):38-51.
    Locke, que é amplamente reconhecido como o pioneiro do empirismo, investiga, em seu Essay Concerning Human Understanding, a origem, a natureza e os limites do conhecimento humano. Ele chega à derradeira conclusão de que no mais das vezes o que julgamos conhecer não passa de crença provável. Não obstante, enquanto um entusiasta da filosofia natural então emergente, ele contorna o ceticismo com uma solução pragmática e recomenda que sigamos investindo na busca por conhecimento. Nesse cenário, o objetivo deste artigo é (...)

  6. Dretske, scepticism and the principle of epistemic closure: towards the theory of relevant alternatives.Fernanda Cardoso - manuscript
    Scepticism essentially posits that knowledge is impossible, varying depending on the philosopher and context. One type of scepticism presupposes the 'principle of epistemic closure' (PEC), which states that if any epistemic subject knows a proposition P and knows that P implies Q, then that subject knows Q. According to this sceptical argument, one does not know a proposition if she does not know one of its contrasting consequences. Dretske countered this argument by rejecting PEC and proposed the theory of relevant (...)

  7. A cientificidade da metafísica aristotélica: A ciência do ser enquanto ser (Metafísica IV.1-4 e VI.1-2) tomada como uma ciência demonstrativa (Segundos Analíticos I.2, 6, 9, 13 e II.1-2) a partir da interpretação explanatório-causal da demonstração científica aristotélica.Fernanda Cardoso & Ahmad Suhail Farhat - manuscript
    Nosso principal objetivo é analisar, a partir de uma interpretação explanatório-causal da teoria aristotélica da demonstração científica, se o projeto de uma ciência do ser enquanto ser, proposto por Aristóteles na Metafísica (Met.), é compatível com o modelo de ciência demonstrativa encontrado nos Segundos Analíticos (APo.). Mais especificamente, a questão sobre a qual nos debruçamos neste artigo é: o projeto de ciência do ser enquanto ser desenvolvido na Met. (IV.1-4 e VI.1-2) pode ser tomado como uma ciência demonstrativa, em conformidade (...)

    Como começamos a refletir e deliberar sobre nossa conduta moral, colocando-nos no lugar dos outros? Mais especificamente, de que forma gerimos, de maneira arbitrária, nossa conduta a partir de uma perspectiva que prioriza o bem de todos os seres humanos de forma universal?

  9. O problema da metafísica como ciência e o significado da revolução copernicana na Crítica da razão purade Kant.Fernanda Cardoso - 2024 - Revista Inquietude 15 (2):38-59.
    Kant, na Crítica da razão pura, propõe, inspirado pelo sucesso da física e da matemática, uma transformação da metafísica em ciência. Observando o fracasso da metafísica tradicional, que tentava adaptar o conhecimento à natureza dos objetos, Kant sugere uma inversão metodológica: os objetos devem se ajustar ao conhecimento, de maneira semelhante à revolução copernicana, que trocou a Terra pelo Sol como centro do universo. Kant defende que a forma como intuímos e conceituamos o mundo molda os objetosconhecidos e, apesar de (...)

  26. Towards an Objectivist Reading of Spinoza's Theory of Attributes.Antonio S. Borge - 2025 - British Journal for the History of Philosophy 1 (1):1-22.
    In this paper, I argue for a novel defence of the view that attributes are numerically distinct for Spinoza, which, contrary to paradigmatic objectivist readings, does not contradict his substance monism nor commit him to the view that the only substance has more than one essence. I show that Spinoza offers three overlooked arguments for attribute unity that are consistent with my interpretation. Next, I turn to the perspectivist interpretations of Spinoza’s theory of attributes, dominant in Spinoza scholarship today, under (...)

    It has recently been argued that a person’s moral judgments (about both their own and others’ actions) are constrained by the nature and extent of their relevant ignorance and, thus, that such judgments are determined in the first instance by the person’s epistemic circumstances. It has been argued, in other words, that the epistemic is logically prior to other normative (e.g., ethical, prudential, pecuniary) considerations in human decision-making, that these other normative considerations figure in decision-making only after (logically and temporally) (...)

    In this paper we identify and characterize an analysis of two problematic aspects affecting the representational level of cognitive architectures (CAs), namely: the limited size and the homogeneous typology of the encoded and processed knowledge. We argue that such aspects may constitute not only a technological problem that, in our opinion, should be addressed in order to build arti cial agents able to exhibit intelligent behaviours in general scenarios, but also an epistemological one, since they limit the plausibility of the (...)

  29. It’s not that Simple: An Objectivist Account of Spinoza on God’s Essence.Antonio S. Borge - forthcoming - Archiv für Geschichte der Philosophie.
    A central objection to objectivist interpretations of Spinoza’s theory of attributes is their alleged inconsistency with his commitment to the simplicity of God’s essence. This paper offers a novel response to this objection. I begin by outlining two main arguments for the claim that, for Spinoza, God’s essence must be simple: his alignment with a longstanding tradition that treats simplicity as a necessary divine property, and his endorsement of the principle that parts are by nature prior to their wholes.

    In this article we present an advanced version of Dual-PECCS, a cognitively-inspired knowledge representation and reasoning system aimed at extending the capabilities of artificial systems in conceptual categorization tasks. It combines different sorts of common-sense categorization (prototypical and exemplars-based categorization) with standard monotonic categorization procedures. These different types of inferential procedures are reconciled according to the tenets coming from the dual process theory of reasoning. On the other hand, from a representational perspective, the system relies on the hypothesis of conceptual (...)

    We propose a nonmonotonic Description Logic of typicality able to account for the phenomenon of the combination of prototypical concepts.

We first extend the logic of typicality ALC + TR by typicality inclusions of the (...)

    An ontology of Leibnizian relationalism, consisting in distance relations among sparse matter points and their change only, is well recognized as a serious option in the context of classical mechanics. In this paper, we investigate how this ontology fares when it comes to general relativistic physics. Using a Humean strategy, we regard the gravitational field as a means to represent the overall change in the distance relations among point particles in a way that achieves the best combination of being simple (...)

    Paul Watzlawick argued that reality is not discovered but constructed through communication. This paper extends his radical constructivist framework to the digital age, tracing how information technologies have progressively automated the construction of what Watzlawick called "second-order reality" - the domain of meaning, value, and significance. The analysis follows three technological regimes. Search engines transferred epistemic authority from human judgment to algorithmic ranking, making relevance a function of network topology rather than truth. Social media fragmented shared reality into parallel epistemic (...)

  34. The Physics and Metaphysics of Pure Shape Dynamics.Antonio Vassallo, Pedro Naranjo & Tim Koslowski - 2022 - In The Foundations of Spacetime Physics: Philosophical Perspectives. New York, NY: Routledge.
    The goal of this essay is twofold. First, it provides a quick look at the foundations of modern relational mechanics by tracing its development from Julian Barbour and Bruno Bertotti's original ideas until present-day's pure shape dynamics. Secondly, it discusses the most appropriate metaphysics for pure shape dynamics, showing that relationalism is more of a nuanced thesis rather than an elusive one. The chapter ends with a brief assessment of the prospects of pure shape dynamics in light of quantum physics.

    Any account of Spinoza's understanding of attribute must be able to satisfy his definition criterion; that is, it must coherently accommodate the elements involved in his definition of attribute as “what the intellect perceives of a substance as constituting its essence” (E1d4). But this is not enough. There are several available readings that satisfy this criterion and are mutually incompatible. To know what Spinoza means we must supplement his definition criterion with a criterion aiming at consistency with other principles in (...)

In particular, the proposed framework relies on the assumption that certain classes of problems cannot be solved by simply learning or injecting new external knowledge in the declarative memory of a cognitive artificial agent but, on the other hand, require a mechanism for the (...)

    The paper discusses the possible implications of the relational framework of Pure Shape Dynamics for the metaphysics of time. The starting point of the analysis is an interpretation of shapes in ontic structural realist terms, which gives rise to the notion of self-subsisting structure. The relational version of a Newtonian-particle toy model is introduced and discussed as a concrete example.

  39. A proposal for a metaphysics of self-subsisting structures. I. Classical physics.Antonio Vassallo, Pedro Naranjo & Tim Koslowski - 2022 - Synthese 200 (5):1-32.
    We present a new metaphysical framework for physics that is conceptually clear, ontologically parsimonious, and empirically adequate. This framework relies on the notion of self-subsisting structure, that is, a set of fundamental physical elements whose individuation and behavior are described in purely relational terms, without any need for a background spacetime. Although the specification of the fundamental elements of the ontology depends on the particular physical domain considered---and is thus susceptible to scientific progress---, the empirically successful structural features of the (...)

Additionally, it embeds a set of cognitive heuristics for concept (...)

    During the last decades, many cognitive architectures (CAs) have been realized adopting different assumptions about the organization and the representation of their knowledge level. Some of them (e.g. SOAR [35]) adopt a classical symbolic approach, some (e.g. LEABRA[ 48]) are based on a purely connectionist model, while others (e.g. CLARION [59]) adopt a hybrid approach combining connectionist and symbolic representational levels. Additionally, some attempts (e.g. biSOAR) trying to extend the representational capacities of CAs by integrating diagrammatical representations and reasoning are (...)

    New Edition In the ten years since the initial publication of _Insurgencies_, Antonio Negri's reputation as one of the world's foremost political philosophers has grown dramatically. An invigorating appraisal of revolutionary thought, Insurgencies is both the precursor to and the historical basis for Antonio Negri and Michael Hardt's masterwork, Empire. At the center of this book is the conflict between "constituent power," the democratic force of revolutionary innovation, and "constituted power," the fixed power of formal constitutions and central authority.

    Quantificationalism is the view that some true propositions are false at or relative to some domains of quantification, in much the same sense in which propositions can be true or false at times or possible worlds. This paper seeks to give solid formal foundations to quantificationalism, comparable to what modal and tense logics are to the notions of contingent and temporary truth. It has the twofold purpose of understanding what sort of problems arise when we try and make precise sense (...)

More precisely, I claim that the internal procedures determining the output of such artificial devices, replacing biological tissues and connected to other biological tissues, cannot be used to directly explain the corresponding mechanisms of the biological component(s) they substitute (and therefore cannot be used (...)

  45. Dependence relations in general relativity.Antonio Vassallo - 2019 - European Journal for Philosophy of Science 10 (1):1-28.
    The paper discusses from a metaphysical standpoint the nature of the dependence relation underpinning the talk of mutual action between material and spatiotemporal structures in general relativity. It is shown that the standard analyses of dependence in terms of causation or grounding are ill-suited for the general relativistic context. Instead, a non-standard analytical framework in terms of structural equation modeling is exploited, which leads to the conclusion that the kind of dependence encoded in the Einstein field equations is a novel (...)

  47. Heterogeneous Proxytypes Extended: Integrating Theory-like Representations and Mechanisms with Prototypes and Exemplars.Antonio Lieto - 2018 - In Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing, Springer. Springer.
    The paper introduces an extension of the proposal according to which conceptual representations in cognitive agents should be intended as heterogeneous proxytypes. The main contribution of this paper is in that it details how to reconcile, under a heterogeneous representational perspective, different theories of typicality about conceptual representation and reasoning. In particular, it provides a novel theoretical hypothesis - as well as a novel categorization algorithm called DELTA - showing how to integrate the representational and reasoning assumptions of the theory-theory (...)

  48. Deflating the Spacetime-Matter Dichotomy.Antonio Ferreiro, Alex Fleuren & Niels C. M. Martens - manuscript
    In this paper we analyse scalar-tensor theories—specific instances of which include mainstream inflation and dark energy models—in light of the spacetime-matter dichotomy. We argue that it is difficult to categorise the scalar fields as either a pure aspect of the spacetime structure or a pure form of matter, by focusing on the Jordan vs Einstein frames of these theories. We present and evaluate various interpretational options available, concluding that the spacetime—matter dichotomy becomes untenable in this context. At the same time, (...)

  49. (1 other version)Relationalism about mechanics based on a minimalist ontology of matter.Antonio Vassallo, Dirk-André Deckert & Michael Esfeld - 2016 - European Journal for Philosophy of Science (2):1-20.
    This paper elaborates on relationalism about space and time as motivated by a minimalist ontology of the physical world: there are only matter points that are individuated by the distance relations among them, with these relations changing. We assess two strategies to combine this ontology with physics, using classical mechanics as example: the Humean strategy adopts the standard, non-relationalist physical theories as they stand and interprets their formal apparatus as the means of bookkeeping of the change of the distance relations (...)

  50. A Computational Framework for Concept Representation in Cognitive Systems and Architectures: Concepts as Heterogeneous Proxytypes.Antonio Lieto - 2014 - Proceedings of 5th International Conference on Biologically Inspired Cognitive Architectures, Boston, MIT, Pocedia Computer Science, Elsevier:1-9.
    In this paper a possible general framework for the representation of concepts in cognitive artificial systems and cognitive architectures is proposed. The framework is inspired by the so called proxytype theory of concepts and combines it with the heterogeneity approach to concept representations, according to which concepts do not constitute a unitary phenomenon. The contribution of the paper is twofold: on one hand, it aims at providing a novel theoretical hypothesis for the debate about concepts in cognitive sciences by providing (...)
