El problema mente-cuerpoun ensayo de antropología wittgensteiniana

Abstract

This article strives to offer a solution to the classical anthropological problem, well-stated by Descartes, concerning the relationship between mind and body. This problem has caused great confusion in psychology. In order to attain that goal we recur to the criticism of internal entities by Wittgenstein and his private language argument. Subsequently we refer this criticism to the psychological verificational reductionism: behaviourism and physiologism; and the James-Lange theory of emotions. The mistake shared by these approaches is the implicit presupposition of Cartesian dualism and its egocentric perspective
