Abstract
Description
Pensar, actuar y ser son actividades cruciales de nuestra vida diaria. Estas actividades implican un trabajo práctico y epistemológico, base de la comprensión de las nuestras elecciones. En primer término se presentarán las generalidades sobre el pensamiento, los valores, y las normas morales como expresión de los valores personales. En segundo lugar, se explicarán los límites de la lógica, la ética y la psicología en la expresión de la identidad individual. En particular, me pregunto si hay una paradoja en la filosofía moral. En efecto, nosotros aprendemos la máxima délfica bien presente en el pensamiento de Sócrates –“γνῶθι σεαυτόν” (“Conócete a ti mismo”)– pero no podemos siempre toda nuestra identidad. Por tanto, el objetivo de este trabajo es investigar esta máxima y su significación lógica, psicológica y moral.
Thinking, acting and being are pivotal poles of our daily life, involving epistemological and practical faculties. To understand the balance between what we know and we do, we should figure out to what extent our being affects epistemological and practical choices. The questions I raise in this paper concern the boundaries of logic, ethics and psychology and the influence mutually exerted. My aim here is to display the part taken by logic and ethics in every identity and to figure out how fluid their presence is (if any). I wonder, particularly if there is a kind of paradox in moral philosophy. Indeed, we learn from the Delphic and Socratic saying the wise imperative –“γνῶθι σεαυτόν” (“know thyself”)– but it is quite apparent that we cannot get all that we know about ourselves out. Hence in this paper I am going to sift the meaning of this imperative in order to figure out if we have to take it as a sort of epistemological imperative or as an ethical one.
