Misunderstanding Epistemic Injustice: The Case of Chronic Pain Reports
This article critiques the broad interpretation of inadequate medical responses to chronic pain reports as instances of testimonial or hermeneutical injustice. While Miranda Fricker's concepts help highlight the neglect of chronic pain sufferers – such as healthcare professionals' failure to take reports seriously (testimonial injustice) or the lack of adequate language to communicate pain experiences (hermeneutical injustice) – we argue that app…

What Is This Pain That I Feel? On the Importance of the Nociceptive System for the Interoceptive Experience of Pain
Although the multidimensional nature of pain experience is acknowledged by many researchers, the relationships among dimensions are not always clarified. An important issue concerns the relationship between the nociceptive system, which is part of the peripheral nervous system, and the interoceptive experience of pain, which is encroached by cognitive and emotional processes. Some researchers in the neurosciences, and in philosophy, hold what we …

The religion emphasizes communication with spirits, particularly the pretos velhos-spirits of old slaves-who are revered for…
Awe at Natural Beauty as a Religious Experience
In this paper, we discuss an abductive argument for the existence of God from the experience of awe at natural beauty. If God’s creative work is a viable explanation for why we experience awe at natural beauty, and there is no satisfactory naturalistic explanation for the origins of such experiences, then we have defeasible evidence that God exists. To evaluate the argument’s tenability, we assess the merits of the two main theocentric frameworks…
Cognição Social a Partir Da Teoria De Situações: Em Direção a Uma Abordagem Integrada
Os principais objetivos do artigo são (i) explorar a flexibilidade e a eficiência na cognição social e (ii) argumentar que esses conceitos estão em uma relação de complementaridade. Uma motivação central do artigo é que o debate contemporâneo neste domínio, que opõe mentalistas e interacionistas, leva-nos a escolher entre duas alternativas igualmente insatisfatórias: privilegiar a flexibilidade em detrimento da eficiência (mentalismo), ou privile…
