En mi conferencia BREVE HISTORIA DEL PAPEL DE LA GRAVEDAD EN LA DISCUSIÓN SOBRE LA PLURALIDAD DE LOS MUNDOS (Doi:<strong> </strong>10.5281/zenodo.2552324) señalé que ni la pluralidad de mundos ni la relevancia cosmológica de la gravedad son hallazgos del siglo XX, sino de las filosofías escolástica y antigua. Este adelanto de mi nueva investigación intenta mostrar la filiación del debate renacentista sobre la pluralidad de los mundos (representado en las figuras de Cusa, Bruno y Galileo) con la cosmogonía platónica del Timeo. Asimismo, concluye observando el papel histórico de este debate situado entre dos grandes paradigmas cosmológicos: el tolemaico y el newtoniano.

This monography provides an overview of the conceptual developments that lead from the traditional views of infinite (and their paradoxes) to the contemporary view in which those old paradoxes are solved but new problems arise. Also a particular insight in the problem of continuity is given, followed by applications in theory of computability.

Un aspecto sin duda relevante para el analisis y la simulacion de entornos de conversacion, debate y dialogo en general, es la posibilidad que tiene cada participante de adaptar su respuesta al argumento ofrecido por el otro. En un contexto de argumentacion logica donde se intercambian inferencias, nada asegura que se mantenga constante el grado de aproximacion a la verdad preservado (y presupuesto) por las mismas. En todo caso, resultaria una ventaja analitica y estrategica de poder calcular el intervalo que abarca dicho grado, ventaja que creceria con la cantidad de inferencias registradas, si se pudiera ir acotando ese intervalo con precision mayor cada vez. Esta investigacion propone elaborar el minimo instrumento logico necesario para poder fundamentar y proponer ese enfoque.

By the beginning of the 19th century, Hegel's dialectic turned contradiction (conceived as unity of a concept with its determined negation) into distinguished inference. In the course of 20th century a family of systems known as "paraconsistent" formalized dialectical logic according to the contemporary paradigm of inference, oriented to truth-preserving, and not powered anymore solely by contradiction. In this way, nevertheless, Hegel's idea of logic as unfolding of concepts ordered by the degree of "determination" reached at every step of the process, was put aside. We attempt to recover the importance of that idea for the Hegelian concept of "logical necessity", pointing out in addition that it may well play the role of an order relation for dialectical inference.

En su opera prima. Kant propuso una geometria de todos los tipos posibles de espacio, y no sólo del espacio conocido. Como esos tipos de espacio Kant los referia cada uno a un mundo posible distinto, es razonable pensar que la "geometria suprema", como Kant la denominó, en realidad era el nombre genérico para un conjunto de geometrias diversas que describen espacios igualmente diversos. ¿Acaso entre ellas podrian encontrarse las que hoy conocemos como no euclídeas?

Las «metáforas», «analogías» o «alegorías» tienen un lugar bien ganado en la tradición filosófica. Han sido atacadas por dar lugar a una interpretación poco rigurosa de las nociones que describen, pues permite asociarles propiedades que originalmente no se había pensado (ni resulta deseable) que formen parte de su concepto. Sin embargo, a pesar del reclamo en favor de procedimientos estrictos de definición, el uso de una imagen apropiada suele ser el mejor modo de explicar esas cuestiones que cada siglo escapan a la disección que el filo de las mejores definiciones pretendía darle. Tal es el caso de las ilustraciones usadas por Charles S. Peirce en sus artículos "Algunas consecuencias de cuatro incapacidades" y "Cómo esclarecer nuestras ideas" para dar cuenta del pensamiento. Primero veremos el papel que juegan estas imágenes en la argumentación conque Peirce establece dos principios importantes de su filosofía: el de que toda cognición se encuentra determinada por otras cogniciones previas, y el de que no tenemos ningún poder de introspección. Luego hallaremos que dos de las imágenes presentan cierta incompatibilidad en un aspecto especialmente relevante desde el punto de vista de lo que tratan de ilustrar. Para finalizar, consideraremos una explicación que sea consistente con los textos y que permita resolver la discrepancia, brindando una mejor comprensión conjunta de ambas ilustraciones .

Title: Heidegger’s attitude towards deduction in The origin of the work of art
In the very beginning of his essay The origin of the work of art Martin Heidegger points out that he is decided to reject any deductive procedure in the attempt to discover the essence of the work of art. He does it so on the basis of the well-known incompatibility between deduction and circular reasoning (which he is determined to embrace).
Even when the philosopher does not make further considerations on this topic, we think that in the subsequent development of the essay underlies a strong and close relation between this rejection and the concept of ‘truth’, which plays a fundamental role in Heidegger’s Aesthetics.
Our aim in this paper is to bring out and explain this relation in the clearest possible way.
Keywords: Aesthetics, logic, ambiguity, dialectic
