En torno al concepto de obra artística perfecta: una definición y sus implicaciones

2025-04-01T18:40:05+00:00

Two facts are formulated concerning our appreciations of artworks. I then propose a definition of perfect artworks, which is in line with these facts. I imagine a potential objection to the definition and I conjecture a necessary condition for something to be artistic, which allows the objection to be avoided. Finally, we note that this condition establishes certain limits to minimalism in art.

El problema de la fundamentalidad para el panpsiquismo

2025-04-07T21:57:04+00:00

In this article I elaborate in detail the problem of fundamentality for panpsychism. I argue that, in light of three typical and recurring problems raised for panpsychism in the literature, the notion of fundamentality, essential to the formulation of the theory, becomes highly problematic. I then examine two problems of undecidability that derive from that notion: first, the inability to differentiate internally between different versions of panpsychism, and second, the difficulty to distinguish panpsychism externally from dualism and physicalism. I conclude with a comment on the modal status of panpsychism, raising questions about its viability and coherence.
