Deliberation and two concepts of mind: A Response to Martin Seel*
1Instituto de Investigaciones Filosoficas, UNAM, wpgrundy@cantab.net
The author considers the concept of deliberation as developed by Professor Martin Seel, and he tries to extract from that concept an underlying picture of mind. The author describes two pictures of mind that are historically and philosophically opposed. The first makes a sharp distinction between subject and object, and it construes experience in essentially epistemological terms. The second avoids sharp distinctions between subject and object, or between mind and world, and it construes experience in essentially practical terms. The author argues that there is significant evidence of both pictures in Professor Seel's discussion of deliberation.
Key Words: mind; subjectivity; Deliberation; Kant; Wittgenstein
El autor considera el concepto de deliberación, como el profesor Martin Seel lo desarrolla, e intenta extraer de ese concepto un modelo subyacente de la mente. Describe dos modelos de la mente que son históricamente y filosóficamente opuestos. El primero pone una distinción fuerte entre el sujeto y el objeto e interpreta experiencia en términos principalmente epistemológicos. El segundo evita una distinción fuerte entre el sujeto y el objeto, o entre la mente y el mundo, e interpreta la experiencia en términos principalmente prácticos. El autor aduce que hay prueba significativa de ambos modelos en la discusión sobre deliberación del profesor Seel.
Palabras Clave: mente; subjetividad; deliberación; Kant; Wittgenstein
