The main goal of this line of research is to explore, from the perspective of Wittgensteinian philosophy, the question of what counts as intercultural understanding, by shedding light on the relation between its epistemic, ethical, anthropological and political aspects.

This line of research explores a series of discourses of special philosophical significance (such as the ones about states of affairs, material objects, mental and representational states, or evaluative judgments) in order to determine whether it is possible to coherently defend the view that the world as it is in itself, independently of us, does not contain the facts or properties presupposed in them. We focus, in particular, on the evaluation of three strategies that deny that the relevant discourses are true: eliminativism, fictionalism and expressivism.

In the last decades there has been a noticeable increase in the conceptual and methodological resources available to the scientist. Among those that are more widely applied it is worth mentioning the algorithms on model selection, Bayesian statistics, causal inference strategies from probabilities/frequencies, computer simulation, or the articulation of mechanistic models. 

The general aim of this line of research is to revisit the epistemological questions traditionally addressed by the philosophy of science (experimentation, confirmation, explanation, realism/anti-realism, objectivity & values,…) in the light of recent resources available to scientific practitioners. 

The main goal in this line of research is to recover the connection between the debate about self-knowledge and the debate about the question 'How should one live?' on the basis of Bernard Williams' concept of practical necessity and, for this purpose, we will explore some scientific experiments and classical literary texts.
