Logic, Language and Cognition Research Group

 My name is Manolo Martínez, and I am a philosopher. Since February 2012 I am enjoying a Beatriu de Pinós post-doctoral fellowship as a Visiting Scholar at the Philosophy department of the Graduate Center, CUNY. Before that I was a Graduate Teaching Assistant (Ayudante no doctor) at the Department of Logic, History and Philosophy of Science, Universitat de Barcelona.

I am mainly interested in the philosophy  of mind. On the one hand, on   naturalistic accounts of mental content  and their relation with our faculty of modalising. (Believe me, there is a  relation.) On  the other hand, I have done some work in  representationalist accounts  of phenomenal consciousness, and of the characteristic unpleasantness of pain in  particular. But I am also interested about, for example. topics in the philosophy of biology and the philosophy of time.

I received my doctorate from the Universitat de Barcelona in September 2010. My PhD thesis was on A   Naturalistic Account of Content and an Application to Modal   Epistemology. and was written under the supervision of David Pineda. The viva took place on the 17th of September 2010 and I obtained an excel·lent cum laude, the highest possible mark. My examiners were Peter Godfrey-Smith (Harvard U.), David Papineau (King's College London) and Sven Rosenkranz (U. Barcelona).
