Details

With the theme "Illusion, Self-Deception, and Truth," the USB-USAL-USACH Philosophical Research Group continues, at its VII International Symposium, the lines of inquiry initiated in previous editions. This time, the symposium will examine, from various philosophical disciplines, the impact of the interactions or indeterminacies established between illusion, self-deception, and truth in contemporary philosophy and the world.


Among other topics, the symposium will address illusion and virtuality, the mechanisms of the perceptual and discursive constitution of our beliefs about the world and subjectivity, the problem of truth and falsehood, biased cognition, and more, seeking to examine the limits and paradoxes of truth in the face of self-deception and illusion.
