Description
Abstract
Sophie de Grouchy (1764-1822) realiza una teoría del conocimiento empirista basada
en la importancia del placer y el dolor físico.
Tiene la influencia de pensadores empiristas
como Locke y Condillac así como de quien fue
su marido, Nicolás de Condorcet. En su obra más
destacada Cartas sobre la simpatía, desarrolla su
gnoseología, donde conecta conocimiento, ética
y filosofía política desde un trasfondo social
y comprometido con los más desfavorecidos
que rechaza la ética de Adam Smith porque es
demasiado individualista y egoísta. De Grouchy
defiende que el dolor físico y moral crea vínculos entre personas a través de la “simpatía”, sobre
todo hacia las personas más débiles; contra Smith,
sostiene que nuestra simpatía es más intensa con
el dolor que con el placer de los demás y, además,
la conexión con las personas que sufren “humaniza” y refuerza los vínculos sociales.
Sophie de Grouchy (1764-1822) makes a knowledge theory based on empirism and on the importance of physical pain and physical pleasure. Having the influence of empiricist philosophers, such as Locke, Condillac and also who was her husband, Nicolas de Condorcet, de Grouchy ́s main book Letters on sympathy, explains her gnoseology. In that work, de Grouchy connects her knowledge theory with her ethical and political ideas from a social point of view really interested in weak people with needs. She also refuses Smith ́s ethical theory because it is so individualistic an selfish. De Grouchy argues that physical and moral pain create human links through “sympathy” and against Adam Smith philosophy, she thinks that sympathy is stronger with pain than pleasure. Furthermore, de Grouchy says that sympathy humanizes and reinforces human links.
