In this paper, I examine whether and how some intuitions about the nature of our minds are preserved within the paradigm inspired by the hypothesis of the “extended mind”. These intuitions include the ideas of the mind as a locus of cognition, a space in which we exhibit a special (and maybe privileged) access and an unified and homogeneous realm of interrelated states. All these aspects are manifestations of one idea: the authority exhibited by the cognitive agent in the control of her cognitive activity. Along the paper, I present different ways of understanding the programs interested in situating cognitive activities (situated cognition, embodied cognition, embedded cognition, extended cognition, distributed cognition, collective cognition…). I will briefly revise some criticisms of the hypothesis of the extended mind. I will argue that what is at stake is the kind of cognitive authority that exhibits an agent once it is conceived as integrating and coordinating internal and external elements in her cognitive activities. This kind of hybridization is grounded not only in the different contributions of both elements but also in the fact that the cognitive evaluations involved are based on a certain criterion of homogeneity of the intentional and rational space. I will also discuss traditional examples of cognitive extensions through the coordination of internal and external representations, and the use of cognitive artefacts. Finally, I will present some doubts about whether these external elements must be considered as parts of the mind. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper begins by stating the personal contacts between Spinoza and Leibniz in letters XLV and XLVI, followed by Leibniz's further comments on Spinoza's work. By the analysis of different leibnizian texts we contrast both paradigms, namely in what concerns the concept of the possible, denied by Spinoza but absolutely necessary in Leibniz.

The accesses to scientific information have undergone a profound change, which has caused the breaking of paradigms. Knowledge has the conferences; magazines and books on paper for the monitors, being the Internet, the main tool in the search for information by health professionals. The objectives of this is to give an overview of the main tool and instruments available to the clinician fot access to scientific Information, reduce query times in a practical and effective, identify elements to store and organize Information and identify the importance of social networks as a communication and dissemination of science.

The concepts of 'paradigm', 'incommensurability' and 'rule' are still widely quoted. Thomas Kuhn applied them to refer to the way in which science could be organized. The problem is that The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is quoted as a case of epistemological discussion, rather than a case of an historical perspective of science. In this paper Kuhn's use of these concepts is commented upon to show that this position has no other backing than a particular vision of science as exposed in the context of the 1950s in the United States.

In this paper our objective is to approach theoretically some questions on time according to different disciplines in order to think and reflect. We present the life course paradigm. Knowledge, ideas, thoughts, have been discussed. The synchronization of the transitions of the individual life with the collective transitions in particular has been analyzed in details. The study of the behavioural and subjective aspects of the life course paradigm has allowed sociologists, psychologists, anthropologists, historians and demographers to capture the complexity of the interaction between the individual transitions as they change during the whole life. Gerontologists have found a fertile field for the advance in the discipline, from diverse research subjects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study is the result of curiosity with respect to scientific research formation in postgraduate studies. It is well known that research formation is visibly affected by the assimilation of theoretical models that tend to reproduce fragmented, specialized instrumental knowledge that impedes professionals, and specifically teachers, from observing phenomenon as complex systems. It is thought that this situation, without doubt, influences the use of positivist scientific paradigms inherited from western modernity and its influence in post-graduate studies. In or order to confirm this hypothesis, in the first part of the paper philosophical modalities of modernism and their influence on post-graduate studies are outlined. Research formation given to graduate students is outlined culminating with a brief proposal for the integrated formation of postgraduate studies, taking into account certain elements of the complexity paradigm developed by Edgar Morin.

Se presenta el texto de una conferencia sobre la práctica de la psiquiatría en el mundo contemporáneo. El autor analiza diversos autores que señalan que la medicina psiquiátrica se encuentra en un momento de crisis, como el profesor vienés Heinz Katschnig. Otros temas tratados son la antispiquiatría, el papel del "Diagnostic & Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder" en la crisis discutida y la necesidad de un nuevo paradigma científico para esta disciplina médica.
