Abstract

Abstract (english)

The aim of this paper is to reflect on the problem of mental causation according to Lynne Rudder Baker’s Practical Realism. I try to show how the pragmatic assumptions of the philosopher allow her to criticize the prevalent views about the relation between mind and body, the Cartesian dualism, and, especially, the Jaegwon Kim’s reductionist materialism, as well as to restore and bypass, not without problems, the difficulties inherent in those approaches.

Abstract (portuguese)

O objetivo do presente artigo é refletir sobre o problema da causação mental tal como tratado pelo Realismo Prático de Lynne Rudder Baker. Procuro mostrar de que forma os pressupostos pragmáticos assumidos pela filósofa permitem criticar as concepções dominantes a respeito da relação entre mente e corpo, do dualismo cartesiano e, em especial, do materialismo reducionista de Jaegwon Kim e, ao mesmo tempo, recolocar e contornar, não sem problemas, as dificuldades inerentes a essas abordagens.
