CRELIER, Andrés. La ética discursiva y el problema del conocimiento pre-lingüístico. Tópicos [online]. 2012, n.24, pp.00-00. ISSN 1666-485X.

This paper analyses the relation between discourse, which is the justification basis of Discourse Ethics, and the pre-linguistic cognitive capacities. First, we criticize different forms of linguistic idealism and defend a weak version of idealism according to which non-linguistic knowledge is virtually expressible by means of language. Secondly, we claim that in this way the principle of the Discourse Ethics can be applied even to agents incapable of discourse, such as pre-linguistic children and certain animals closely related to human beings.

Palavras-chave : Discourse Ethics; Knowledge; Linguistic Idealism.
