    Mai ali che volano alto

    Cosa succede quando due studiosi del linguaggio dànno inizio a un inarrestabile gioco di parole a distanza? Il libro è il frutto di un serrato scambio a due voci. Una raccolta di tic verbali, calembours, doppi sensi e aforismi. Un modo di interrogarsi sui sistemi attraverso cui la nostra attenzione si scontra con la realtà di ogni giorno, resistendo e talvolta producendo improvvise impennate che sfociano nel doppio senso e nell'ironia più tagliente

    Against phenomenal externalism

    In this paper, we maintain that no extant argument in favor of so-called phenomenal externalism (PE) is really convincing. (PE) is the thesis that the phenomenal properties of our experiences must be individuated widely, that is, in extrinsic terms, insofar as they are constituted by worldly properties the experience puts its bearer in relation with. We will consider what we take to be the five best arguments for phenomenal externalism: the ‘irrelevance of indistinguishability’- argument, the transparency argument, the error argument, the individuation argument, and the weirdness argument. We will try to show that none of them really proves what it aims at proving. As things stand, unless better arguments in favor of phenomenal externalism will show up in the debate, we presently see no reason to relinquish an idea that sounds intuitive and has attracted many cognitive scientists. This is the idea that phenomenology is narrow, i.e., that phenomenal properties are intrinsic, hence monadic aka non-relational, properties of our experiences. Such an idea grounds the opposite philosophical position, phenomenal internalism (PI)

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    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
