AGUILERA, Mariela. Pictorial Negation In Inferential Contexts. Diánoia [online]. 2021, vol.66, n.87, pp.119-129.  Epub Mar 14, 2022. ISSN 0185-2450.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iifs.18704913e.2021.87.1862.

Since pictorial negation does not depend on internal elements, it can be conceived as an existential proof for logical externalism. This paper proposes to analyze pictorial negation in the context of reasoning by showing how external logical relations determine the content of images. I suggest for this a local externalism which narrows the analysis to specific reasoning contexts instead of the complete domain of logical relations. Far from rejecting Barceló's externalist alternative, my proposal aims to put his ideas to work.

Keywords : heterogeneous reasoning; externalism; internalism; visual representations; propositions.
