Abstract
La tesis general del trabajo es que los animales no lingüísticos pueden operar en base a razones. Se sostiene ante todo que la conducta individual flexible de algunos animales ofrece evidencia de racionalidad instrumental. Se argumenta luego que en el marco de los problemas prácticos –como el de la fabricación y uso de herramientas por parte de algunos primates– pueden advertirse procesos de deliberación sin lenguaje. Las razones se interpretan como representaciones mentales y la deliberación como un modo de operar sobre series de representaciones asociadas. Se sostiene, finalmente, que la existencia de una infraestructura comunicativa no lingüística –como la que propone Tomasello– permite ya comunicar razones.
The paper puts forward the thesis that non-human animals are able to operate with reasons. It argues that the flexible individual conduct is evidence of instrumental rationality and that the context of a practical problem –like tool use by chimpanzees– points toward the existence of deliberative thought. Reasons can be seen as mental representations and deliberation as a way to operate with series of representations. Finally, it is suggested that a communicative infrastructure –such as the one elucidated by Tomasello– makes it possible to communicate reasons without language.
