2015

For three years I was alone in philosophy at my university, the TU Dortmund (Germany). The other philosophy chairs were vacant and I was involved in never-ending committees. I was absolutely overloaded and therefore I did not update any news for a couple of years. Here are my publications since 2012.

Book:

1. "Mythos Determinismus. Wieviel erklärt uns die Hirnforschung?" Heidelberg: Springer 2012.

Edited books:

2. "Why More is Different. Philosophical Issues in Condensed Matter Physics and Complex Systems" (with Margaret Morrison). Heidelberg: Springer 2015.

3. "From Ultrarays to Astroparticles. A Historical Introduction to Astroparticle Physics" (with Wolfgang Rhode). Dordrecht: Springer 2012.

Forthcoming papers:

4. "El dilema entre determinismo y libertad. ¿Qué significa la neurociencia para la existencia humana?" To appear in: J. A. Baeza Betancor et al., Filosofía, Psicoterapia e Inteligencia Emocional. Las Palmas de Gran Canaria: Fundacion MAPFRE Guanarteme.
