"Frege’s epistemological argument against the metalinguistic view of identity is inconclusive" M Schirn 2026

La realidad tiene el poder de hacernos creer que nada de lo que imaginamos o deseamos modificar es posible y de hacernos olvidar que ella es producto del deseo y la imaginación. Su mejor herramienta para ello es la burocracia, por eso es absurdo esperar que la justicia penal transforme algo.

“We’re told that if we don’t use #AI then we’ll get left behind, but what if we’d like to leave the AI boosters behind instead? It’s time to give a voice to those who don’t view AI as an inevitability but a liability.” #GenAI #TechEthics #RejectAI

This land is mine, with its multiple cultures … I want to live all of these cultures. It is my right to identify with all of these voices that have echoed on this land. For I am not an intruder, nor a passer-by. Mahmoud Darwish

We must recognize, each of us, the right to tell our history. And history will laugh at us all. A Riff on Mahmoud Darwish

[One’s] humanity [is] safeguarded by acknowledging the humanity of [one’s] enemies. Ursula Lindsay on Mahmoud Darwish

It is nice to be free, but it is nicer to make a difference

The naivité of this sentence in Shaad D'Souza's viral article in @theguardian.com, really drove me up the wall: "social media sentiment wasn’t what drove critic-led outlets such as Stereogum and the New Yorker to name [Geese's] 2025 album Getting Killed the best of the year."

Pedro Stepanenko: ¿Qué mas hay que decir sobre la normatividad que no sea la tautología de que no hay que hacer el mal y hay que hacer el bien?

Toda predicación singular a objetos compuestos, según el manyismo de Thunder, es en realidad una predicación colectiva a sus componentes.

El manyismo de Thunder es fundamentalmente un hipótesis sobre la relación metafísica entre objetos físicos compuestos y sus componentes microfísicos fundamentales. Si uno además es fisicalista, es una tesis metafísica sobre qué es lo único que es real.

A daring robbery of the Louvre is distinctive, entertaining and can even be funny. It's also wrong and the people who did it should go to jail. Both of these things can be true at the same time. You don't have to pick one over the other.

How deep is the difference between harm and damage?

Este semestre estoy enseñando "Epistemología social", y esta semana discutiremos el artículo de @angeleserana.bsky.social y @drxl.bsky.social "El conocimiento como una actividad colectiva" (revistas.up.edu.mx/topicos/en/a...). ¡Está buenísimo! Muy recomendado.

"…even when [people] do behave in a sober-minded fashion, they might find that this is not enough to insulate them from public controversy [specially] when the [public] itself is divided and inflamed…” (Keith E. Whittington 2019)

“…the vital interest of the university in fostering high-quality teaching and scholarship is enhanced when professors get into heated political arguments with members of the general public on social media…” (Keith E. Whittington 2019)

¿Puedo inferir genuinamente sin tener algún tipo de actitud epistémica ante las premisas de mi inferencia?

I was very surprised by a close friend of mine telling me they do not browse at bookstores: they only go when they want to buy a specific book. They just ask for it, pay, and go.

Las canciones del Tri es como los refranes mexicanos: hay uno para cada ocasión.

“...our current relationship to history is seriously out of whack. [Most people] are caught between the belief that nothing can change ... and the notion that we need to return to a mythical past…” (Jacob Mikanowski 2019)

I went from historicism may ultimately be wrong, yet it is an intellectual tradition with valuable insights, to historicism is obviously wrong and full of BS back to historicism may be ultimately wrong, yet it is an intellectual tradition worth knowing with valuable insights

If you draw a circle in a diagram, and then you erased it and draw a circle again, did you draw a new circle or did you re-draw the same one?

El miércoles 15 de abril revisaremos el artículo "What Is Wrong with ‘All Lives Matter’? What and How ‘Black Lives Matter’ Means" de Lenny Clapp en el Seminario de Filosofía del Lenguaje del Instituto de Investigaciones Filosóficas de la UNAM.

Mauricio Suárez: las teorías [en filosofía de la ciencia] tienen que emerger de manera orgánica de las prácticas (científicas)

Una de las cuestiones centrales dentro de las teorías contemporáneas de la representación es si lo que explica que algo –una palabra, un modelo, una imágen, etc– represente algo es el que quien la usa adquiere compromisos sobre lo que las demás personas racionalmente inferirían de su uso o viceversa

Mauricio Suárez parece querer separar las siguientes dos preguntas: ¿Qué hace que algo represente a Y? ¿Qué distingue una buena representación de Y de una mala? Me parece de sentido común el que ambas preguntas deben estar ligadas.

‘My ties to Habermas were multi-layered. He was a mentor and an antagonist; a figure who showed me early on how to practise “critique with an emancipatory intent” but from whom I eventually had to distance myself.’ Nancy Fraser, new on the blog: www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2026/ma...

Si no malinterpreto a Guadalupe Mettini, según Mauricio Suárez, “Safari” significa una excursion de caza mayor porque quién la emite, autoriza a quien la escucha a inferir ciertas cosas sobre sí y su pensamiento vis a vis dicho tipo de excursiones.

What is SILENCING? A very short and straightforward introduction: biopoliticalphilosophy.com/2026/03/18/l...

One of Kripkestein’s main points is that the potential cannot be grounded on the actual, because the infinite cannot be grounded on the finite.

The problem, of course, is whether there is an entity that is the subject, separate but related to the person as it presents itself to third persons.

Is what is possible independent from what is actual?

People don't like celebrities fighting Paparazzi, because it is beating down

Sense data theory was not such a bad idea, actually.

To hypothesize that there is an object, say, planet 9 is not to postulate a hypothetical object Planet 9, just as to imagine a pink elephant is not to create an imaginary pink elephant.

Austin & Kripke: perceptual properties are intrinsically perceptual.

Ayer: the relation we have with an object when we see it is vastly different from the relation we have with perceptual properties when we see them.

Alongside Marco Rubio, the case’s cast includes a Trump-advising oilman, Kellyanne Conway, a GOP congressman code-named “Sombrero,” an Iran-Contra veteran, a cartel-linked cocaine trafficker, Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyer and Nicolás Maduro. www.levernews.com/the-miami-tr...
