Mientras que Descartes, y toda la estela de sus descendientes, habrían tendid...

This discussion focuses on whether Mario Bunge’s emergent materialism implies continuism or not. Íñigo Ongay defends that Bunge’s emergent materialism implies continuism. In his response, Javier Pérez-Jara argues that Bunge’s emergent materialism explicitly assumes structural ontological and epistemological discontinuities in the universe. The ques...

This chapter is an in-depth examination of the various very convoluted philosophical issues that arise from the interconnection between the ideas of mind and matter.

This paper represents a philosophical appraisal of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) from the point of view of the philosophy of science.

Ever since Immanuel Kant wrote his Critique of the Pure Reason, philosophical debates concerning free will have traditionally been framed in relation to the tensions obtaining between the laws of Physics on the one hand and the demands of human freedom on the other. As Kant himself put the situation cogently in his well known fourth antimony freedo...

There has been much debate in evolutionary biology concerning the extension of some of the central tenets of the modern synthesis (MS). Due to recent developments in evolutionary developmental biology (Evo-Devo), epigenetics, phenotypic and developmental plasticity, niche construction and ecological inheritance, and animal traditions, an increasing...

This paper critically addresses the most famous passage in Gotthold E. Lessing´s 1779 play Nathan the Wise, namely: the parable of the ring. Much like the rest of the plot, the parable of the ring has been generally interpreted as a plea for religious tolerance within the context of the deist characterization of God that Lessing, like many other fi...

This chapter provides a deconstruction of the ontological position of atheism about God’s inexistence. The author first offers an analytical consideration of the multiplicity of meanings that the negative term “atheism” can be accorded depending on the particular interpretation of the concept of God we may consider. The chapter argues that such div...

Much debate has arisen in the territory of Evolutionary Biology in relation to the alleged extension of some of the most central tenets of the Modern Synthesis ( MS). Due to recent developments in the areas of Evolutionary Development Biology (EvoDevo), epigenetics, phenotypic and developmental plasticity, niche construction and ecological inherita...

This chapter examines the contrast between Ernst Mach’s and Mario Bunge’s accounts of parsimony as a principle in theory evaluation. The point is argued that simplicity, central as it undoubtedly is to Mach’s philosophy, does not constitute a proper epistemic virtue within his framework. In his 1963 book The Myth of Simplicity, Mario Bunge endorses...

This paper examines the present state of the art in Evolutionary Biology with a view of showing how the sort of scienti c pluralism Nancy Cartwright argues for in The Dappled World casts lights on some debates pertaining to the eld. There are winds of change blowing in the domain of Evolutionary Biology. Much debate has recently arisen within the t...

This is the review written by Íñigo Ongay de Felipe of Lino Camprubí’s book, Engineers and the Making of the Francoist Regime, published by The MIT Press.

Much discussion has recently arisen in relation to the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis to the effect that the Weismann barrier between germ and soma may at times be effectively trespassed by processes of trans-gen- erational epigenetic inheritance and non-genetic inheritance. This is extremely significant as the strict sepa- ration between soma and...

This paper addresses the narrative construction of Irish identity in James Joyce´s 1914 short story The Dead and John Ford´s 1952 film The Quiet Man. Firstly, taking inspiration from Benedict Anderson´s Imagined Communities and Eric Hobsbawm´s The Invention of Tradition, the author describes an analytical framework accounting for the role of narrat...

Some controversial suggestions have recently arisen within the present-day debate about the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis ( EES) to the effect that research in epigenetics, developmental biology and phenotypic plasticity and behavioral biology do in fact constitute a vindication of certain aspects of the Lamarckian theory of evolution which had b...

While there is wide agreement that atheism consits of the ontological position denying God´s existence, the ample variety of forms such a denial may adopt constitutes something that only rarely gets emphasized in an sufficinetly explicit manner. This paper shall address the array of ways in which an atheist ontological thesis concerning the (in)exi...

This paper unravels August Weismann´s argument against the Inheritance of Acquired Characters and in favor of Natural Selection and contends that his line of reasoning include three distinguisiable parts which are not totally consistent with one another. It also goes on to claim that none of the three are entirely conclusive and that Weismann himse...

Abstract: This article reviews some of the most fundamental ideas of Gustavo Bueno ́s Theory of Categorical Closure pertaining to the distinction between natural and human sciences in order to show that the human and ethological sciences are aptly defined by virtue of the presence of operations given rise to by human or animal subjects. Such operat...

This contributed paper shall explore in close detail the structure of August Weismann´s arguments for the all-sufficiency of the principle of Natural Selection ( NS). There has been a long lasting agreement among historians of Biology and Philosophers of Science alike that the work of Weismann signals that theories involving the heridity of acquire...

This article shows that the modal ontological argument as proposed by Gottrieb Leibniz was very much anticipated in its logical articulation by John Duns Scotus in his work De Primo Principio. To this end, the author analyzes some of the various versions of the argument present in the philosophical thought of authors such as Scotus, Leibniz, Malcom...

Resumen El objetivo de este artículo es mostrar cómo el argumento ontológico modal tal y como lo propone Gottrieb Leibniz aparece ya en buena medida prefigurado en su articulación lógica en la obra De Primo Principio de Juan Duns Scoto. A este objeto, el autor analiza algunas de las versiones del argumento ontológico presentes en el pensamiento fil...

While the Darwinian original concept of natural selection primarily includes the central role that the behavior of individual organisms may play as an active agent in the process of biological evolution, the architects of the Modern Synthesis tended to focus primarily on genetic heritance in order to explain evolutionary changes of populations.

Resumen Como se ha reconocido muchas veces el concepto de selección natural es sin duda una de las nociones verdaderamente clave de la teoría darwiniana de la evolución. Tal concepto, ciertamente crucial para la historia de la biología evolutiva tal y como esta ha venido desarrollándose a lo largo del siglo XX, ha sido generalmente interpretado des...
