Abstract
In most countries of Latin America, there are philosophers working in the philosophy of mind. Interesting contributions has been made to all the important themes of recent Philosophy of mind in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, and Columbia. There are works on Externalism, Naturalism, Enactivism, Extended Mind, Physicalism, Mental Causation, Intentionality, Consciousness and the phenomenal mind, Action Theory, Philosophy of Information, Ecological Psychology, Philosophy of Perception, of Emotion, of Memory, etc. There are many organized research groups working on the theory of mind and cognitive sciences, and regular conferences on these subjects. It will be hard to consider all the contributions in a short paper. My aim is to highlight the main contributions and to emphasize the relevance of the current research in that domain as part of the analytic movement in Latin America.
