The Volume 14, Number 1 (January–June 2025) of TRAMA. Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities brings together three rigorous and thought-provoking studies that establish a critical dialogue between Aesthetics, Neurophilosophy, and Cultural Studies. From complementary perspectives, the authors explore the intersections among art, cognition, and postcolonial thought, offering interdisciplinary insights that transcend conventional academic boundaries.

This issue includes reflections on the relevance of the Kantian notion of beauty in contemporary art, a theoretical and neurobiological analysis of empathy as an evolutionary phenomenon, and a study of the spaces of postcolonial critique in Latin America and the Caribbean. Through these contributions, TRAMA reaffirms its commitment to critical inquiry and plural thinking.
