Autism through the notion of a form of life: A critical review
This paper critically reviews prominent Wittgensteinian approaches to autism based on the notion of a “form of life.” While all of these approaches offer a powerful alternative to dominant cognitivist views, their specific accounts of autism differ significantly. These contrasting accounts stem not only from different interpretations of what a form of life encompasses but also from related theoretical commitments. The paper begins by analyzing Pe…
Objectivity, standardization, and epistemic injustice in psychiatry
This paper analyzes the conception of objectivity in psychiatry as a structural factor that may promote epistemically unjust clinical practices. It argues that because psychiatry primarily relies on patients’ reports of mental symptoms and clinicians’ observations of behavior, it has had to develop ways to address these in a standardized, objective manner. Standardized instruments provide reliability and – presumably – validity in psychiatric ass…
Valuable Harmful Dysfunctions
This paper addresses the Harmful Dysfunction Analysis of mental disorder. We argue that some mental conditions meet both of its criteria —the dysfunction criterion and the harm criterion— and yet should not count as mental disorders because of their value. We contend that the harm criterion, by taking harm as a proxy for disvalue, is an inadequate normative criterion in these cases. Therefore, further ethical considerations should be included as …
Consideraciones sobre la relación mente-cuerpo en el proceso del parto
Analizo algunos aspectos clave del modelo médico del parto, centrándome especialmente en los presupuestos que parece albergar sobre la relación mente-cuerpo. En primer lugar, examino las visiones del modelo médico como un modelo dualista ontológico. En contra de las críticas habituales a este dualismo, que sostienen que ha llevado a tratar el cuerpo de parto como una máquina, defiendo que el problema no reside en el propio dualismo, sino en que s…
Resonancia natural y capacidad individual de acción ecosocial
Transformar el modo de vida individual es necesario para abordar la crisis ecosocial, y resulta perentorio que las políticas comprometidas con su resolución promocionen una capacidad individual de acción ecosocial. Sin embargo, parece que cierta brecha motivacional está obstaculizando la transformación del modo de vida individual. A fin de dar respuesta a esta brecha, ensayamos una mixtura del enfoque de las capacidades con las teorías de Hartmut…
What are the effects of energy poverty and interventions to ameliorate it on people's health and well-being: A scoping review with an equity lens

De Günther Anders al transhumanismo: La obsolescencia del ser humano y la mejora moral
Este artículo compara críticamente los planteamientos de Günther Anders y filósofos contemporáneos transhumanistas, como Julian Savulescu, Ingmar Persson o Thomas Douglas. Se expondrán los conceptos andersianos de ceguera moral, desnivel prometeico y vergüenza prometeica para comprender la obsolescencia del ser humano, paralelamente al análisis transhumanista de la desadaptación humana en términos evolutivos y cognitivos. Se mostrará cómo buena p…
