Resumen de The Agentive Role of Inner Speech in Self-Knowledge
- español
Aunque los interpretativistas tienen razón al conceder al habla interna un papel central en el autoconocimiento, no caracterizan bien la naturaleza exacta de este papel. El habla interna es fundamentalmente una acción, una forma de habla, que nos proporciona autoconocimiento, no porque sea algo que percibimos (o “cuasi-percibimos”) e interpretamos, sino porque es algo que hacemos a sabiendas. Una vez que esto se reconoce, el interpretativismo queda desarbolado.

Although interpretivists are right to give inner speech a central role in generating self-knowledge, they mischaracterize the precise nature of this role. Inner speech is fundamentally an action, a form of speech, and provides us with self-knowledge not by being something that we perceive (or “quasi-perceive”) and interpret, but by being something that we knowingly do. Once this is appreciated, interpretivism is undermined.
