Sant Vicent Ferrer Secondary School, Algemesí [email protected] abstract Josep-Lluís Blasco (1940-2003) was an inspired ideologist to the political parties embodying nationalist and leftist positions in the Valencian Country. In regard to Philosophy, Blasco awoke an interest in analytic philosophy and took part in one of the most successful projects the Faculty of Philosophy of Valencia ever endeavored: the international symposia on Logic and Philosophy of Science and the publication of the journal Teorema. His work counts as one of the most solid contributions our culture has yielded within the field of Epistemology. key words Josep-Lluís Blasco, Catalan Philosophy, Analytical Philosophy, Epistemology. Professor Josep Lluís Blasco was born in Sagunto in 1940. Determining what his main concern, aspiration or personal motivation was throughout his life would entail having to decide whether his philosophical inclination was more weighty than his political interests, and that would be no easy assignment. Blasco showed a lively social and political conscience from an early age. He embarked on an Arts degree in 19591 and was diligent in his course work while also being among the critical and active students who were striving to contest the inertia of the Franco regime, which also permeated the university milieu.

    Epistemology, Ethics and Mind SCHOOL of PHILOSOPHY, PSYCHOLOGY Online MSc/PGDipl/PGCert and LANGUAGE SCIENCES Introduction to Philosophical Methods PHIL11132/PHIL11008 MSc/PGDipl/PGCert Course Organiser: Prof. Jesper Kallestrup Course Lecturers: Dr Alistair Isaac Prof. Jesper Kallestrup Dr Suilin Lavelle Dr Debbie Roberts Course Secretary: Ms. Lynsey Buchanan Learning Technologist Dr Simon Fokt Epistemology, Ethics and Mind SCHOOL of PHILOSOPHY, PSYCHOLOGY Online MSc/PGDipl/PGCert and LANGUAGE SCIENCES Course aims and objectives This course offers an introduction to philosophical methodology, with a particular focus on thought experiments, conceptual analysis and the role of rational intuitions. Conceptual analysis was once considered to be of primary concern to philosophers: to understand what a particular property is, such as being morally good, being conscious, being caused, or being known, one must produce necessary and sufficient conditions for something to fall under the concept of that property. Moreover, such conditions must be spelled out in a way that is independent of the concept in question. For instance, to say that someone falls under the concept of pain if and only if they are in pain is uninformative. Next to all such analyses have been confronted with counterexamples that rely on rational intuitions about how to describe possible cases. For instance, to say that someone falls under the concept of pain if and only if they exhibit withdrawal behavior when prompted by tissue damage is informative, but also possibly false. Imagine a perfect actor pretending to suffer pain. In response, some philosophers have given up on conceptual analysis altogether, some have adopted various weaker kinds of conceptual entailments, and some have argued that such intuitions are defeasible if the conceptual analysis in question leads to an otherwise explanatorily powerful philosophical theory about the property in question.

Aim of the 1st World Congress on Logic and Religion Although logic, symbol of rationality, may appear as opposed to religion, both have a long history of cooperation. Philosophical theology, ranging from Anselm to Gödel, has provided many famous proofs for the existence of God. On the other side, many atheologians, such as Hume, for example, have developed powerful arguments meant to disproof God’s existence. These arguments have been scrutinized and developed in many interesting ways by twentieth century analytic philosophy of religion. Moreover, in the Bible the logos is assimilated to God, which has been reflected in western philosophy in different ways by philosophers such as Leibniz and Hegel.
