Davidson argumenta que la racionalidad requiere lenguaje, ya que solo con él se pueden formar creencias proposicionales coherentes. Bermúdez, en cambio, propone una gradación de la racionalidad animal, identificando niveles de sofisticación en las acciones que no dependen necesariamente del lenguaje. El presente trabajo analiza críticamente ambas posturas, comparándolas con otras teorías sobre lenguaje y cognición, con el fin de mostrar un concepto de racionalidad pre-lingüístico y otros post-lingüístico.FilósofoPregradoUniversidad de La SabanaFilosofíaFacultad de Filosofía y Ciencias HumanasEspejo Serna, Juan CamiloSilva Rojas, Giuliana Vanessa2025-10-02T22:07:13Z2025-04-04Tesis/Trabajo de grado – Pregradohttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_7a1fhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/bachelorThesisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion45 páginasapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/10818/67030spaAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_16ecoai:intellectum.unisabana.edu.co:10818/670302025-11-12T09:00:29Z
