Abstract:

In this paper I comment on several aspects of Martin Seel's paper "The Ability to Deliberate", mainly on his claims that deliberation is a form of action, on his not very clear distinction between deliberation and thought, and on the relation between normativity and deliberation. There are also some comments on practical and theoretical reasoning, as well as on Seel's characterization of reasons.

Key words : deliberation; normativity; practical reasoning; theoretical reasoning; reasons

Resumen:

En este artículo hago comentarios a varios aspectos del artículo de Martin Seel, "The ability to Deliberate", principalmente en sus afirmaciones de que la deliberación es una forma de acción, en su no muy clara distinción entre deliberación y pensamiento, y en la relación entre normatividad y deliberación. Hay también algunos comentarios sobre el razonamiento práctico y el teórico, así como en su caracterización de lo que son las razones.

Palabras clave: deliberación; normatividad; razonamiento práctico; razonamiento teórico; razones
