Interests I am currently working on a book on reference, defending a certain form of a neo-Fregean picture from the criticism of new theorist of reference. That picture takes modes of presentation prototypically to be components of semantic presuppositions in the ordinary speech acts, like assertions, on which singular reference is involved. The book will make use of and elaborate on views which I have presented in already published papers, including views on the nature of the logical properties, on the semantics/pragmatics divide, and on the nature of phenomenal consciousness. It will also argue for the historical appropriateness of describing the view as Fregean. In addition, I am now finishing two books in Spanish, an introduction to the Philosophy of Fiction currently entitled "La verdad de la ficción" and a book on the von Trier films "Breaking the Waves, The Idiots" and "Dancer in the Dark" currently entitled "Von Trier sobre la autenticidad".
