Call for papers
Both neuroscience-based
research on body representation and philosophical research on the
constitutive conditions onfirst-person thought (i.e. thought in-volving
the first-person concept) seem to point in the same direction: there
are crucial links to be unveiled between body, action and first-person
thought. On the one hand, the substantial amount of neurophysiological
data available and patient studies suggest that body representation
plays a necessary role in the production of physical action. On the
other hand, philosophical reflection on the constitutive conditionsonconceptual
thought - and in particular, first-person thought - identifyaction,
whether physical or mental action, as a constitutive element of first-person
thought. However, how are body, action and first-person thought ultimately
related? Is one's body, for instance, a key element for the elucidation
of first-person thought via the role of body representation in action?
This call for papers invites contributors working from one or several
of these areas of specialisationto submit interdisciplinary work that
explores the intriguing connections that exist between these central
notions of philosophical theorising:

The Spanish Philosophy journal teorema
is pleased to announce an essay competition for young scholars. The
winner will receive 1500€, and the essay will be published and
acknowledged as winner in the journal.
Topic: Knowledge-First Epistemology and According to a recent idea developed by the approach known as "knowledge-first episte-mology", the evidence available to a subject at a time t consists of the propositions the subject knows. Together with the view that the rationality of an action is a matter of the evidence available to the agent, the result is that rational action requires knowledge. Is this a defensible view of rational action? If it is not, what is the connection between rational action and belief? Does rational action require rational belief? Does it require less than that: is perhaps mere belief sufficient to rationalize action? More generally, what are the connections between justification, rationality and excusability of both actions and beliefs?
