Penetración de "La Magia de los Sentidos" en el mundo hispano

Aquí una seleccion de enlaces sobre actividades diversas, que llevan por título "La Magia de los Sentidos", o que vemos interesantes:


este anterior pdf muestra aspectos singulares y singularmente lógicos, sobre ciencia, religion y demas...

¿Canto habrá penetrado "el zoo cuantico" en el mundo hispano?



Leo muchas veces una infima parte de lo que comparto. Así hago co lectores a los lectores, y despues, ya me encontraré via google esto o aquello; hoy es menos importante leer exhaustivamente un testo, que descubrir su interes; una vez descubierto su interés, más que suficiente, allá que le das al boton de share...

En ese testo me sorprende que unan magia y percepcion, tal como hace abram en su autobiografía, gratamente, pues, la primera alusion a la sensosfera en lengua hispana, aparte de la de los aviones, la encontré en una tesis educativa en catalá, que google cazó, y donde la unica alusion a la sensosfera, era tan potente, como escueta: "Estamos en la Era de la Sensosfera". Si olfatean a su autor, me lo felicitan...

Wittgensteiniano Radical: Alejandro Tomasini Bassols

http://www.filosoficas.unam.mx/~tomasini/home.html

El interés mayor de Alejandro Tomasini Bassols lo han constituido sobre todo las filosofías de Bertrand Russell y de Ludwig Wittgenstein. De tesis sobre Russell tiene el récord mundial con tres, como se lo hizo saber Kenneth Blackwell por carta. Algo interesante es su transición gradual (y al parecer definitiva) de un russellianismo fuerte a un wittegensteinianismo radical. Sin duda alguna, parte de sus objetivos filosóficos es realizar en español análisis gramaticales (cuyos paradigmas están desde luego en las obras del segundo Wittgenstein), al modo como algunos destacados filósofos wittgensteinianos (e.g., Norman Malcolm y Morris Lazerowitz) han mostrado que se pueden realizar. Su filosofía de la religión es un claro ejemplo de ello. Para Alejandro Tomasini Bassols, empero, la investigación filosófica genuina tiene que venir acompañada de dos actividades complementarias: la docencia, por una parte, y la difusión y la crítica de ideas, por la otra. Los cursos son para él sencillamente imprescindibles. Por otra parte, la filosofía también debe, en su opinión, ser de utilidad para otros, de manera que se vuelve una obligación para quien la practica seriamente rebasar el estrecho ámbito de la academia y utilizar los beneficios que de la filosofía se extraen para debatir en público cuestiones de interés general.

Abstract

Empathy, in the most general sense, is the basic affective capacity by which we comprehend another person’s experience; accordingly, it underlies all of the particular feelings and emotions we have for others. In this lecture I examine the human experience of empathy from the perspectives of cognitive science, phenomenological philosophy, and Buddhist contemplative psychology. I argue that human experience depends (formatively and constitutively) on the dynamic coupling of self and other in empathy, and that both phenomenology and contemplative psychology disclose a relational intersubjectivity prior to the reified constructs of “self” and “other.” Finally, I suggest that for the dialogue between science and contemplative experience to move forward, cognitive science needs to grow beyond its traditional antipathy to first-person experience by incorporating first-person methods directly into its empirical research.

Evan Thompson is Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy and a member of the Center for Vision Research at York University in Toronto. He received his B.A. in Asian Studies from Amherst College (1983), and his M.A. (1985) and Ph.D. (1990) in Philosophy from the University of Toronto. He is the author of numerous articles in cognitive science and the philosophy of mind, and has written two published books, Colour Vision: A Study in Cognitive Science and the Philosophy of Perception (Routledge Press, 1995), and (with Francisco Varela and Eleanor Rosch) The Embodied Mind: Cognitive Science and Human Experience (MIT Press, 1991). This book explored the relationship between cognitive science and Buddhist meditative psychology, and was one of the first works to put forward the “embodied/enactive” perspective in cognitive science. Currently, Evan Thompson is finishing a new book, co-authored with the late Francisco Varela, called Why the Mind Isn’t in the Head (Harvard University Press, forthcoming). The theme of this book is that the individual human mind is immanent in the living body, the natural environment, and the interpersonal social world, rather than being limited to brain processes inside the head. The book advances this view by using material drawn from a wide variety of sources—biology, psychology, and neuroscience; the “analytic” philosophies of mind and science; phenomenological psychology and philosophy; and the contemplative or “wisdom tradition” of Buddhist psychology and philosophy. Its aim is to demonstrate how the contemporary sciences of mind and life can be brought into harmony with studies of human experience as it is lived and verbally articulated in the first person.
