Beyond Belief? Delusions and the Regulative Account of Folk Psychology
Neurodiversity & evaluation: A defense (or not) of affective fictionalism
This paper explores the intersection between affective fictionalism and the neurodiversity movement, which advocates for the recognition of cognitive differences (e.g. autism, ADHD) as natural variations that, although potentially disabling, are not inner deficits. We argue that affective fictionalism, which views mental state attributions as normative evaluations rather than fact-stating claims, is well positioned to accommodate three desiderata…
The semantics and virtues of nondescriptivist normativism about mental disorder
A central debate within the philosophy of psychiatry revolves around the nature of mental disorders. Positions in this debate have traditionally been divided into two distinct camps: naturalism and normativism. Naturalist views identify the presence of mental disorders with a set of value-free facts, while normativist views consider mental disorders as irreducibly normative and thus dependent on certain social norms or values. The naturalist camp…
An expressivist approach to folk psychological ascriptions
In recent years, some authors have shown a renewed interest in interpretivist theories of folk psychological ascription [Hutto 2013. “Fictionalism About Folk Psychology.” The Monist 96 (4): 582–604.; Mölder 2010. Mind Ascribed: An Elaboration and Defence of Interpretivism. Amsterdam: John Benjamins; Sanchez-Curry 2020. “Interpretivism and Norms.” Philosophical Studies 177 (4): 905–930.; Mölder 2021. “Interpretivism Without Judgement-Dependence.” …
Commitments and the sense of joint agency
The purpose of this article is to explore the role commitments may play in shaping our sense of joint agency. First, we propose that commitments may contribute to the generation of the sense of joint agency by stabilizing expectations and improving predictability. Second, we argue that commitments have a normative element that may bolster an agent's sense of control over the joint action and help counterbalance the potentially disruptive effects …
Folk psychology without metaphysics: An expressivist approach
In recent years, there has been a renewed concern about the dangers of eliminative materialism, as well as several attempts to discuss alternative positions such as new versions of interpretivism or fictionalism. Although expressivism has also emerged as a possibility, the problems with hybrid versions of expressivism in applying it to attitude ascriptions have led to a strong rejection of the proposal. The aim of this article is twofold. First, …
Sobre Doxasticismos y Anti-Doxasticismos: Hacia un Mapeo del Problema Tipológico de los Delirios
Uno de los principales problemas de la filosofía de la psicopatología contemporánea consiste en definir qué tipo de estados mentales son aquellos que denominamos delirantes. A esto se le ha denominado el “problema tipológico de los delirios”. El principal objetivo de este artículo es examinar las principales alternativas filosóficas contemporáneas a este problema: el doxasticismo—de acuerdo con el cuál los delirios deben ser caracterizados como c…
Addressing joint action challenges in HRI: Insights from psychology and philosophy
The vast expansion of research in human-robot interactions (HRI) these last decades has been accompanied by the design of increasingly skilled robots for engaging in joint actions with humans. However, these advances have encountered significant challenges to ensure fluent interactions and sustain human motivation through the different steps of joint action. After exploring current literature on joint action in HRI, leading to a more precise defi…
The Political Turn in Analytic Philosophy: Reflections on Social Injustice and Oppression
A new wave of thinkers from across different disciplines within the analytical tradition in philosophy has recently focused on critical, societal challenges, such as the silencing and questioning of the credibility of oppressed groups, the political polarization that threatens the good functioning of democratic societies across the globe, or the moral and political significance of gender, race, or sexual orientation. Appealing to both well-establ…

Social Cognition: A Normative Approach
Inner speech in action
This paper assesses two different approaches to inner speech that can be found in the literature. One of them regards inner speech as a vehicle of conscious thought. The other holds that inner speech is better characterised as an activity derived from social uses of its outer counterpart. In this paper I focus on the explanatory power of each approach to account for the control of attention and behaviour in the context of executive tasks. I will …
Cuerpo y biopanoptismo en México a principios del siglo XXI: El Programa de Trabajadores Agrícolas Temporales a Canadá
Desde la firma de un convenio bilateral en 1974, México envía jornaleros agrícolas temporales para trabajar en granjas canadienses. El paulatino endurecimiento de los criterios para seleccionar a las y los trabajadores rurales a petición del gobierno canadiense, aunado a la aplicación de los mismos por la Secretaría del Trabajo en México y su interpretación discrecional en cada oficina de reclutamiento en los estados de la República, convergen ha…
