2nd Nature and Education (McDowell)
I just read McDowell "Mind and World", and to have a critical (perhaps even a comprehension) questions. And then another question immediately ahead ...
A basic problem with the auseindandersetzt to McD's, how can the "logical space of reasons" and the "logical space of nature" and share each other. Ultimately, it's about whether our normative way of speaking (namely rationality, knowledge and content - beliefs can be true or false, so there are standards that meet a conviction must be true) to our descriptive speech, with which we nature in the natural sciences describe can be attributed. (Sorry for the monster of sentence read, too much McD.)
So my first ask yourself: Is it really McDowell only different ways to describe the world to capture /, or has deeper metaphysical claims?
McDowell tried both logical spaces to be reconciled by claiming that both are of the nature of space and the space of reasons part of nature. What he "realm of law", namely the call, which falls under the laws of nature and is described by science does not alone from nature. (Anti-Physikalismus!) This is still what McD called "2nd Nature" and "education" - namely, a part of our human Nature, which is only developed through education. Here is a passage: "Our education actualize some of the potentialities we are born with; not we do have to suppose it introduces a non-animal ingredient into our constitution ... the space of reasons [+ conceptual skills] ... can be within the framework Which meaning comes into view only because our eyes can be opened to it by education, Which is an element in the normal coming to maturity of the kind of animal we are. " (P.88, 1996 edition)
My question: Is this second nature of man will ultimately not something that can also by nature a la science be explained? I would argue that our cultural practice, to the development of conceptual Skills leads, evolutionarily explainable and therefore also attributable to the natural sciences. If that's true, but McDowell is part of the store "soon Naturalists" against which he applies himself. Does anyone
statements or objections to my question?
