This study critiques Loredo-Narciandi and Sánchez-González's thesis, introducing the concept of mediators to address reductionism and reification. It proposes three interaction levels and highlights intersubjectivity as key to resolving these philosophical problems.
Area of Science:
- Philosophy of Science
- Epistemology
- Social Interaction Theory
Background:
- Critiques the thesis "Neither Dichotomies Nor Dualism; Simply Genesis" by Loredo-Narciandi and Sánchez-González (2012).
- Addresses the concepts of reductionism and reification in philosophical discourse.
- Emphasizes the inseparable relationship between subject and object.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce and discuss the role of mediators in philosophical arguments.
- To differentiate between physical objects and mediators.
- To propose a framework for understanding and resolving issues of reification and reductionism.
Main Methods:
- Philosophical analysis and critique of existing theories.
- Conceptual differentiation of interaction levels.
- Exploration of the concept of intersubjectivity.
Main Results:
- Identifies a lack of 'mediator' as a distinct element in the original thesis.
- Discriminated three levels of interaction: pre-interaction, physical interaction, and sign/language interaction.
- Proposes intersubjectivity as a crucial concept for addressing reification and reductionism.
Conclusions:
- Mediators are essential for a comprehensive understanding of genesis and interaction.
- The proposed three-level interaction model provides a nuanced perspective.
