Abstract
El objetivo de este artículo es
analizar las posibilidades de una racionalidad
intercultural y plantear si acaso es posible
seguir defendiendo una razón crítica a pesar
de que no existan criterios o procedimientos
preestablecidos. Retomando el debate en torno
a la inconmensurabilidad de las formas de vida
y basándonos en los planteamientos de Charles
Taylor esbozamos un tipo de racionalidad
intercultural capaz de articular argumentos por
transiciones entre posiciones inconmensurables.
Frente a las «nociones delimitadoras» de Peter
Winch, por un lado, y el holismo conceptual
de John McDowell, por otro, abogamos por un
contacto epistémico con el mundo en un nivel
preconceptual, es decir, por debajo o previo al
conceptual, el «momento de realidad». Lo más
significativo de este modelo de razón intercultural
es que su actividad crítico-reflexiva hunde sus
raíces en capacidades epistémicas más primitivas
que impulsan y alimentan el razonamiento más
allá del relativismo.
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to analyze the possibilities of intercultural rationality and ask whether it is possible to continue to defend a critical reason, even though there are not criteria or procedures established beforehand. Taking up the theme about the incommensurability of forms of life, we based on the approach of Charles Taylor in order to elaborate a model of intercultural rationality able to articulate transitional arguments between incommensurable positions. In opposition to the «limiting notions» by Peter Winch, on the one hand, and to the conceptual holism of John McDowell, on the other, we focus on the epistemic contact with the world in a pre-conceptual level, namely below or before the conceptual, which we call the «moment of realm». The most significant aspect of this model of intercultural reason is that its critical and reflexive activity has its roots in more primitive epistemic capacities that drive and feed the reasoning beyond relativism.
