Which norms? An approach to the debate on the concept of mental illness Resum: En aquest article realitzem una aproximacio al debat sobre el concepte de malaltia mental, des dels anys cinquanta fins al present, incorporant-hi elements de la filosofia i sociologia de la medicina, i atenent a les seues dimensions organica, subjectiva i social. Perfilem i avaluem les postures naturalistes i normativistes que han conformat el debat sobre la malaltia mental: des de l’antipsiquiatria a la psiquiatria critica, passant per un naturalisme i construccionisme social forts. Paraules clau: malaltia mental, naturalisme, construccionisme, antipsiquiatria, psiquiatria critica. Abstract: In this paper we approach the debate on the concept of mental illness from the 1950s to the present, by incorporating elements from the philosophy and sociology of medicine, considering its bodily, subjective, and social dimensions. We outline and evaluate the naturalist and normativist views that have shaped the debate on mental illness: from antipsychiatry to critical psychiatry, passing through strong naturalism and social constructionism. Keywords: mental illness, naturalism, constructionism, antipsychiatry, critical psychiatry.

Abstract: In this paper I aim to defend a twofold thesis. On one hand, I will support, against Perini (2005), the indispensability of diagrams when structurally complex biomolecules are concerned, since it is not possible to satisfactorily use linguistic-sentential representations at that domain. On the other hand, even when diagrams are dispensable I will defend than they will generally be more effective than other representations in encoding biomolecular knowledge, relying on Kulvicki-Shimojima’s diagrammatic effectiveness thesis. Finally, I will ground many epistemic virtues of biomolecular diagrams (understandability, explanatory power, prediction and hypothesis evaluation) on their cognitive-computational indispensability and their semantic-epistemic effectiveness. Keywords: Molecular Biology, Diagrammatic Representation, Representational Indispensability.

Abstract: After the dawn of the traditional, essentialist view of natural kinds in contemporary philosophy (exacerbated in philosophy of biology by “population thinking”), non-essentialist cluster conceptions of natural kinds have been extensively supported and applied to numerous biological categories. However, salient philosophers have put forward two challenging arguments against cluster kind theories. I argue that, in both cases, discontent with a cluster conception of natural kinds is motivated by tacit and previous assumptions that can be challenged. I conclude that the concerns expressed in the objections do not make good reasons to resist natural kinds talk in biology unless one is willing to share such commitments and assumptions with respect to natural kinds. Ultimately, the discussion can be used to point out that our very expectations regarding natural kinds theories could use a rethink. Keywords: natural kinds, essentialism, cluster kinds, Boyd, mechanisms.

Neoliberal Feminism: An Oxymoron? Resum: En el present escrit tractem d’aproximar-nos al concepte de “feminisme neoliberal” per tal d’identificar-ne les principals caracteristiques i contradiccions. Aixi doncs, l’objectiu principal que ens plantegem tracta de discernir si es possible, atenent al context actual de desenvolupament del moviment feminista en un marc neoliberal, parlar de “feminisme neoliberal”, o si pel contrari, es tracta d’un concepte que es en si mateix un oximoron. Partint del sentit de transformacio social cap a la justicia intrinsec al moviment feminista, tractarem de veure com la logica neoliberal ha condicionat o influenciat en aquest moviment en l’actualitat. Alhora establirem una hipotesis que es formula com segueix: l’existencia d’una identitat feminista neoliberal conviu amb un ressorgiment de l’arrel politica del feminisme, cosa que converteix l’escenari actual en un context ple de reptes i dilemes per a aquest moviment. Concloem que en aquests temps el compromis critic del feminisme s’ha de mostrar mes fort que mai front a les immanencies del sistema neoliberal. Paraules clau: feminisme neoliberal, postfeminisme, neoliberalisme, governabilitat. Abstract: In this paper we approach the concept “Neoliberal Feminism” in order to identify their main characteristics and contradictions. The main objective of this paper is to discern whether it is possible to talk about “Neoliberal Feminism” in response to the development of feminism in a neoliberal framework, or on the contrary, whether this concept is just an oxymoron. Departing from the sense of social transformation towards justice intrinsic to the feminist movement, we address how the neoliberal logic has conditioned or influenced this movement at present. At the same time, we establish a hypothesis that is formulated as follows: the existence of a neoliberal feminist identity coexists with a resurgence of the political roots of feminism. This reality turns the current scenario into a context full of challenges and dilemmas for the feminist struggle. We conclude that nowadays the critical commitment of feminism must be stronger than ever in front of the immanence of the neoliberal system. Keywords: Neoliberal Feminism, Postfeminism, Neoliberalism, Governability.
