Resumen de Two Kinds of Second Person Authority
Edson Bernd, Antonio Gaitán Torres, Manuel de Pinedo
Dyadic interactions have become a hot topic of research in both cognitive sciences and philosophy. The perspective we take in such interactions is increasingly regarded as the proper focus to understand basic capacities such as mind reading or evaluative thinking. In this paper we will focus on this perspective from the philosophical side, and we will centre the discussion on four main areas, namely, self-knowledge, theory of mind, reactive attitudes and joint action. We will argue that there is a kind of constitutive, second-personal, authority that others have over a subset of our mental states, a kind of authority that is distinct from, and irreducible to, firstperson authority.
