Resumen
RESTREPO-ECHAVARRIA, Ricardo. Scientific Realism and Mind. discus.filos [online]. 2023, vol.24, n.42, pp.75-95. Epub 28-Feb-2024. ISSN 0124-6127. https://doi.org/10.17151/difil.2023.24.42.5.
Standard Scientific Realism holds the metaphysical view that the world is the way it is independent of the mind. However, this paper demonstrates how this view is incompatible with all non-eliminativist theories of mind, leading it to be inconsistent, incompatible with science, and eliminating consciousness, intentionality, mental causation and ethics. An alternative realist thesis is proposed which preserves the idea that generally the world is the way it is independent of what we think of it, compatible with mind as a real part of the world. This reform restores the possibility of consistency, mind, consciousness, intentionality, science and ethics.
