Resumo: Moral psychology has devalued the role of reasoning in moral life. Nevertheless, the Argumentative Theory of Reasoning (ATR) is a proposal of evolutionary psychology that vindicates the effectiveness of reasoning in communicative processes. This theory even defends its convergence with deliberative democracy. And yet, we hold that the ATR is unsuccessful when supplying a psychological basis for deliberative democracy. The ATR does not adequately explain the epistemic value of deliberation in a way that is congruous with deliberative democracy. To conclude, we will present other shortcomings of the ATR in its concept of reasoning.

Não obstante, a Teoria Argumentativa do Pensamento é uma proposta de psicologia evolutiva que reivindica a efetividade do pensamento nos processos comunicativos. Esta teoria defende, inclusive, a sua convergência com a democracia deliberativa. No entanto, neste artigo defendemos que a TAP não é bem sucedida em proporcionar uma base psicológica da democracia deliberativa. A TAP não explica adequadamente a motivação dos sujeitos na deliberação. Para além do mais, a TAP não articula o valor epistémico da deliberação de maneira congruente com a democracia deliberativa. Para concluir, exporemos outras carências da TAP na sua conceção do pensamento.Instituto de Ciências Sociais da Universidade de Lisboa2016-09-30info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.31447/AS00032573.2016220.02https://doi.org/10.31447/AS00032573.2016220.02Análise Social; Vol. 51 N.º 220 (2016); 544-5642182-29990003-2573reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPenghttps://revistas.rcaap.pt/analisesocial/article/view/23031https://revistas.rcaap.pt/analisesocial/article/view/23031/17095Direitos de Autor (c) 2016 Análise Socialinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPérez Zafrilla, Pedro Jesús2024-03-02T05:31:32Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/23031Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:01:21.376719Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
