Abstract

SCOTTO, Carolina. Interacción y atribución mental: la perspectiva de la segunda persona. Anal. filos. [online]. 2002, vol.22, n.2, pp.135-151. ISSN 1851-9636.

In this paper I intend to show that the debate between the first and the third person point of view of ordinary mental attribution needs to be redefined in order to make room to a more basic perspective, the second person point of view. The reason for thirt is that this point of view is able to account of a variety of phenomena that are left out of consideration from the other ones. Firstly, I defend a characterization of the different abilities that includes this kind ofreciprocal understanding. Secondly, I identify some interactive phenomena that are better viewed as cases of intentional attribution made from the second personal point of view.

Keywords : Second person; Intentional attribution; Interaction.
