¿Es la filosofía un universal humano?El concepto de ontología intuitiva

Laburpena

This paper is an invitation to reflect on the advisability of analysing philosophy from a naturalistic perspective. That is, from a perspective that considers philosophy as if it was one more cultural object, which can be studied using the tools that we have available to us today and that are provided by disciplines such as evolutionary psychology or anthropology oriented by a distinctly cognitivist approach. A central concept in the analysis is that of “intuitive ontology”—closely linked to folkphilosophy or the spontaneous, naïve (natural) way of thinking that is associated with common sense—which is a result of the evolutionary process and a source of metaphysical prejudices such as dualism. A metaphilosophical reflection, such as that proposed here, identifies the “natural” character of a metaphysics that is still too close to folk-philosophy, and the interest of constituting a naturalized philosophy that is fully conscious of its “unnatural” or “counterintuitive” character.
