BLANCO ILARI, Juan Ignacio. Promesa e ipseidad: La crítica de Ricoeur al reduccionismo. Rev. latinoam. filos. [online]. 2006, vol.32, n.2, pp.213-237. ISSN 1852-7353.

ABSTRACT: The distinction idem - ipse is one of the keys of Ricoeur's thought. The interaction of the mutual distinction - relation is the core of his philosophical anthropology. This distinction allows him to establish criticism towards reductionism, particularly that represented by Derek Parfit. In this paper, we will analyze this criticism in the light of the phenomenon of the promise, model of the identity - ipseity. We will try to show how Ricoeur establishes the condition of possibility of a promise by means of a triple access: a linguistic, moral, and ontological access. This way, we will create a categorial network that has the notion of illocutionary force, the response to the expectations of others and the availability as central elements. The triad language - moral - ontology therefore fulfils a double function, it shows the weaknesses of reductionism, and devises an alternative ontology: the ontology of ipseity.

Keywords : Promise; Ipseity; Critic; Reductionism.
