filosofía de la mente, dualismo sustancial, Wittgenstein, AristótelesResumen
Coincidiendo con el 25 aniversario de la publicación de la Metafísica de la mente de A. Kenny, este artículo trata algunos de los principales puntos del libro. Concretamente, el dualismo de Descartes, la noción aristotélica de alma o psychê, el lenguaje humano y el animal, la acción voluntaria, la relación mente-cerebro, el pensamiento y la intencionalidad, y el determinismo y la libertad. El autor sostiene que, aunque el libro de Kenny contiene argumentos válidos inspirados en Wittgenstein y la tradición aristotélica, no siempre aprecia toda la profundidad de esta tradición en conceptos básicos como el de psychê o la inmaterialidad del entendimiento humano. A pesar de eso, el libro de Kenny es uno de los mejores esfuerzos hasta el presente por romper con Descartes y el empirismo británico, y por incorporar la tradición aristotélica a la filosofía de la mente contemporánea.
