| dc.description | In this work I characterize Darwinian approaches to human behavior and mind, especially evolutionary psychology, and analyze the main criticisms that these approaches have received. To this end I resort to Jean Marie Schaeffer’s criticism of the thesis of human exceptionality and the semantic perspective of scientific theories of Ronald Giere. I conclude that the main criticisms (reductionism, determinism and ideological bias) are not applicable to evolutionary psychology as a research program. I also conclude that it cannot be held a priori that the Darwinian approach is not applicable to the human mind and behavior. Finally, I discuss some educational implications of these debates. | en-US |
| dc.description | En este trabajo caracterizo las aproximaciones darwinistas a la conducta y mente humanas, especialmente la psicología evolucionista, y analizo las principales críticas que dichas aproximaciones han recibido. A tal fin recurro a la crítica de Jean Marie Schaeffer a la tesis de la excepcionalidad humana y a la perspectiva semántica de las teorías científicas de Ronald Giere. Concluyo que las principales críticas (reduccionismo, determinismo y sesgo ideológico) no son aplicables a la psicología evolucionista en tanto programa de investigación. Concluyo también que no se puede sostener a priori que el enfoque darwiniano no sea aplicable a la mente y conducta humanas. Finalmente discuto algunas implicancias educativas de estos debates. | es-ES |
