Abstract

Pagrindinis šio straipsnio tikslas yra išnagrinėti kasdienį „asmens“ konceptą. Gretutinis tikslas yra pristatyti naują eksperimentinės filosofijos sritį, naudojant jos teorinę prieigą tyrinėti kasdienius konceptus. Didžioji straipsnio dalis yra skirta kasdienio „asmens“ koncepto deskripcijos problemoms: viename poskyryje bedrais bruožais apibūdinu patį „kasdienio koncepto“ terminą, tada aptariu kasdienį „asmens“ konceptą; kitame poskyryje pristatau asmens sampratą, kuri kyla iš kognityvinio mokslo. Galiausiai pateikiu preliminarius atsakymus į substantyvius klausimus apie kasdienių konceptų patikimumą. Šiame straipsnyje yra teigiama, kad tokio tipo empirinė konceptualinė analizė gali praturtinti standartinius analitinės filosofijos metodus, prisidėti prie koceptualinio aiškumo kognityviniame moksle bei padėti spręsti normatyvines problemas.

Highlights

  • It is commonplace in analytic philosophy, especially ordinary language philosophy, to study the structure and nature of everyday concepts by using methods of conceptual analysis (Nichols 2004)

  • 7 In the case of folk psychology, to use Dennett’s (2009) terminology, it could be argued that we extend our intentional stance towards scientific psychology, we talk about cognitive processes ‘as if’ they are intentional systems

  • The secondary goal was to present a new field of experimental philosophy by using its theoretical framework to study folk concepts

Summary

Introduction

It is commonplace in analytic philosophy, especially ordinary language philosophy, to study the structure and nature of everyday concepts by using methods of conceptual analysis (Nichols 2004). Experimental philosophers approach the problem of folk concepts and intuitions by dividing research into three distinct projects: descriptive, substantive, and prescriptive. The goal of the descriptive project is to determine the character and structure of folk intuitions and concepts; the goal of the substantive project is to figure out what does cognitive science say about it and to determine whether folk views are compatible with that; the prescriptive project is concerned with the question whether given what we know about our concepts and the world we should revise or preserve our practices (Nichols 2006: 59; 2008). Folk concepts, and will caution any prescriptive project to take into consideration various cognitive constraints
