Exploring the Role of Deontic Reasoning and World Knowledge in Wason´s Selection Task
Published on: July 22, 2025
Abstract:
The present article proposes a particular view of psychiatrie in-stitutionalization. The analysis flows from the study of the anthropological hypothesis of René Girard whose cornerstone is mimicry. This approach allows for the exploration of the real motiver which prevails during an institutionalization and brings to light the victimizing mechanism which operates in the internment phenomenon. It uncovers the necessity of the mentally-ill as scapegoats in a society searching for peace and harmony. And the circumscription of what is different becomes, in a way, the source of the alienation of that which is different. In conclusion, and in the light of Girard's perspective, openness to others suggests the creation of new types of human relations between self and other and between self and self.
