Hacia una inteligencia artificial centrada en los seres humanos
This introduction to the Revista de Estudios Sociales dossier, which explores the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and the social sciences, is based on the idea that the social sciences are not only crucial for analyzing and understanding the major changes AI has brought to human life, but also—more fundamentally—for guiding the future development of AI in ways that support human well-being and individual growth. Ensuring that AI syst…
Testimonial Injustice
To verify the occurrence of a singular instance of testimonial injustice three facts must be established. The first is whether the hearer in fact has an identity prejudice of which she may or may not be aware; the second is whether that prejudice was in fact the cause of the unjustified credibility deficit; and the third is whether there was in fact a credibility deficit in the testimonial exchange. These three elements constitute the facts of th…
Causation and the conservation of energy in general relativity
Consensus in the contemporary philosophical literature has it that conserved quantity\ntheories of causation such as that of Dowe [2000]—according to which causation is to be\nanalysed in terms of the exchange of conserved quantities (e.g., energy)—face damning\nproblems when confronted with contemporary physics, where the notion of conservation\nbecomes delicate. In particular, in general relativity it is often claimed that there simply\nare no …
An epistemological analysis of the use of reputation as evidence
Rules 405(a) and 608(a) of the Federal Rules of Evidence allow the use of testimony about a witness’s reputation to support or undermine his or her credibility in trial. This paper analyses the evidential weight of such testimony from the point of view of social epistemology and the theory of social networks. Together they provide the necessary elements to analyse how reputation is understood in this case, and to assess the epistemic foundation o…

El problema de la demarcación en estética
The development of the visual arts during the twentieth century blurred the boundaries between what is, and what is not, considered art. Arthur Danto proposed an aesthetic theory that would allow us to redefine the boundaries of art. In this article, I examine two of the most problematic aspects of Danto's theory: the excessive weight he gives to the concept of mimesis, and his teleological conception of the history of art. If these two elements …
