Sobreveniencia. Un Caso de Ingeniería Conceptual by Manuel Liz

“…Through them, we will identify a dramatic tension between the extremes of eliminativism and dualism (in general, pluralism), being placed in the middle of them the positions of a non-eliminativist reductionism and of a non-dualist epiphenomenism. The open options facing that tension show a very peculiar and valuable sort of philosophical work which could be called “conceptual engineering”.…”

La nature contre la culture ? by Jérôme Boissonade, Katja Hackenberg

“…Relying on the systemic modelling of nature, the latter played an active role in establishing a political compromise. This reductionism nevertheless prevented it from discussing the validity of the objectives pursued in terms of their general interest and contributed to the “ordering” of people by eliminating the cultural and, consequently, the social dimension.…”

“…The emphasis of this psychoanalytic approach on the symbolic inscription of subjectivity, as well as its introduction of a necessary conceptual distinction between the “subject” and the “I”, contributes to theorize subjectivity beyond any individualist or socio-structuralist reductionism. In order to encourage interdisciplinary discussions, points of convergence and divergence with some psychological and sociological discourses currently hegemonic are also specified at the end.…”

“…This article reflects on Agamben’s formulation of the sacred within the political order of the West, contrasting this with the Durkheim/Bellah view of the sacred/profane opposition, and then presenting two arguments that reduction of the sacred to the political is insufficient, one a form of biological reductionism that seeks to locate the sacred within the common, biological nature of human life itself, the other an abductive argument for human transformation in terms of what Sloterdjik has called ‘vertical tension.’ …”
