Abstract

La concezione di Wilfrid Sellars dello “spazio delle ragioni” avanza ipotesi critiche su ciò che costituisce la persona e l'unicità umana. In particolare, Sellars assume che l'essere umano sia definito attraverso la razionalità. Sebbene sia un'esclusiva di Sellars, definire gli esseri umani attraverso la razionalità è un assunto non privo di problemi. Traccio i problemi storici e contemporanei legati all'ignorare le emozioni e gli affetti nella nostra definizione di persona e cerco di riconciliare l'impegno di Sellars verso il comportamentismo con l'apparente conflitto tra razionalità ed emozione.
