    Global Evolutionary Arguments: Self-Defeat, Circularity, and Skepticism about Reason

    No full text
    In this essay, I consider an evolutionary debunking argument (EDA) that purports to undermine the epistemic justification of the belief in the reliability of our belief-forming processes, and an evolutionary vindicating argument (EVA) that seeks to establish that such a belief is epistemically justified. Whereas the EDA in question seems to fall prey to crippling self-defeat, the EVA under consideration seems to fall prey to vicious circularity. My interest in those arguments and the problems they face lies in what they might tell us about the possibly aporetic nature of reason. For, if we take the EDA and the EVA in question to consist of true or plausible premises and valid inferences at which we arrive through a meticulous use of reason, then their falling victim to either crippling self-defeat or vicious circularity might be regarded as a sign that, when we push rational reflection on the reliability, or lack thereof, of our belief-forming capacities to the limit, we end up in a situation of aporia from which there seems to be no escape

    No full text
    Ancient philosophy knew two main skeptical traditions: the Pyrrhonian and the Academic. In this final paper of the three-part series devoted to ancient skepticism, I present some of the topics about Academic skepticism which have recently been much debated in the specialist literature. I will be concerned with the outlooks of Arcesilaus, Carneades, and Philo of Larissa.Fil: Machuca, Diego Emanuel. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas; Argentin

    Pyrrhonism was one of the two main ancient skeptical traditions. In this second paper of the three-part series devoted to ancient skepticism, I present and discuss some of the issues on Pyrrhonian skepticism which have been the focus of much attention in the recent literature. The topics to be addressed concern the outlooks of Pyrrho, Aenesidemus, and Sextus Empiricus.Fil: Machuca, Diego Emanuel. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas; Argentin

    Ancient Skepticism: Overview

    No full text
    Scholarship on ancient skepticism has witnessed a remarkable renaissance in the last three decades. Specialists in ancient philosophy have explored the complex history of the Greco-Roman skeptical traditions and discussed difficult philological and exegetical issues. But they have also assessed the philosophical significance of the various ancient skeptical outlooks. In this first paper, I provide a general presentation of this area of study, while in the two subsequent articles I will focus on some of the topics that have been the object of much attention in the recent literature on ancient skepticism.Fil: Machuca, Diego Emanuel.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Estudio descriptivo, experimental y comparativo de la audiodescripción de los códigos de significación del texto audiovisual: el guión audiodescriptivo frente a la atención visual del espectador vidente

    Treball final de Màster Universitari en Investigació en Traducció i Interpretació. Codi: SBK013. Curs acadèmic 2018/2019Esta investigación analiza si existen diferencias entre la informacion que capta la atención visual de espectadores normovidentes y la información que se audiodescribe en las producciones audiovisuales en el contexto chileno. El experimento que la sustenta se llevó a cabo analizando si tanto los espectadores videntes como los guiones audiodescritos se fijan en los mismos signos pertenecientes a diferentes códigos de significación del canal visual del texto fílmico (Chaume, 2004). Para ello, se utilizaron 15 escenas de las películas Machuca y La frontera. Tras llevar a cabo un análisis descriptivo del guion audiodescriptivo y un análisis experimental para estudiar las fijaciones de los sujetos normovidentes en las escenas seleccionadas, se procedió a comparar la información obtenida con el fin de determinar si, efectivamente, existe una diferencia sustancial entre la información presente en el guion audiodescriptivo y la información que capta la atención visual de los videntes
