Searle’s theory of reason. Reason as quality of mind generated by the use of language
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Conceptions about the relationship between reason- language has been postulated by traditional philosophy in order to ensure the conditions of ontological possibility of language from the regulations of reason. Reason has been postulated as the faculty that gives origin to language; guidelines on which they have built different epistemological postulates. In an opposite way, the philosophy of John Searle is set, who initiates a bifurcation against the tradition to consider reason as a quality of human intentionality; theory, in which language is the element that makes possible the development of reason: without language there is no rationality. The present article aims to show how the analytical philosophy of John Searle poses a turn in the conception of rationality, in pursuit to understand it not as its own faculty of human understanding, but as a mental process generated from the use of language.
