"What is a perspective"
Seminar on Language and Communication
It is generally assumed that we can take another person's perspective on things and that if we do, that will have a significant effect on interpersonal understanding. But relatively little work has been done on what a perspective is supposed to be. Here, I explore the current evidence for there being formal features to the way we think about things that might constitute the basis of what we call 'a perspective'.

The research group on Language, Action, and Thought ---at the Institute of Logic, Cognition, Language and Information (ILCLI)--- mostly focuses on the Philosophy of Language and Mind as well as on the Philosophy of Action. Most of its members are philosophers but it also includes linguists, psychologists and logicians.
An important part of our research has evolved around Critical Pragmatics, a theory created and developed by some of us, with applications to the study of linguistic communication, and important assumptions and implications about thought and action.
During the last decade, we have received several grants from the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), the Basque Government and the Government of Spain.
