Resumen de La comprensione dell'altro tra comunità e pluralità
Understanding other minds is a performance that reveals a dialectic tension between community and plurality. The paper explores this tensions analyzing the contemporary debate about mindreading. The debate is interpreted as focusing on two contrasting views centered on the notion of rationality and simulation. Two different moments of the history of analytic philosophy such as Ryle and his criticism of Collingwood and Quine and his criticism of Davidson are examined. They are valued as contributing to solve the contrast between simulation and rationality and suggesting how to find an equilibrium between the assimilatory instances represented by community and the respect of the other as different that the notion of plurality suggests.
