PRADA RODRIGUEZ, Manuel Leonardo. Is the Act Something Real? Hypotheses to Solve Some Problems Arising from the Praxeological Interpretation of the Noological Concept of Act. Tópicos (México) [online]. 2024, n.69, pp.351-385.  Epub Aug 16, 2024. ISSN 0188-6649.  https://doi.org/10.21555/top.v690.2573.

The first part of this paper explains the praxeological interpretation of the noological concept of act. The second part describes Antonio González Fernández’s criticisms of that notion. His objection consists in pointing out that acts cannot be considered real things, but only the arising of these. From this observation on noology, González Fernández not only gives rise to his praxeology (also known as hiparqueology), but also his philosophical system begins to be questioned for not explaining what acts are, in the world of facts, beyond the assumption that they are there, despite being invisible. In the third and last section, some hypotheses are presented to address objections to the praxeological concept of act, such as the one mentioned above and the apparent circularities and possible contradictions within the praxeological system.

Keywords : act; radical otherness; real otherness; circular argument; contradiction.
