Resumo: | (This article is part of a project by Trans/Form/Ação: Unesp Philosophy Journal. It is the Authorial Philosophy Dossier, to be published in 2022.) In this article, the following dilemma is discussed: On the one hand, the growing impact of Technology of communication and information (ICT) in everyday habits seems to influence the dynamics of public opinion by reinforcing irrational beliefs, and creating the impression that the autonomy of people’s opinion and decisions is just a myth. On the other hand, people seem to act most of the time, under the normal circumstances of daily life, in a rational way, as if their habitual actions result from relatively autonomous decisions. A way out of this dilemma is suggested with the hypothesis that people can be rational most of the time, but nevertheless have their opinions influenced by insufficient, distorted information, or by previously acquired emotional dispositions. This hypothesis, in turn, is going to be scrutinized by considering, from a philosophical-interdisciplinary perspective, the role of rational choices in the dynamics of autonomous opinion. With illustrations of diagrams, we claim that the qualitative Complex Systems paradigm might help us to understand the possible role of emotional dispositions in the dynamics of autonomous opinion formation. |

Trata-se do Dossiê Filosofia Autoral, a ser publicado em 2022.) Neste artigo, discutimos o seguinte dilema: de um lado, o crescente impacto das Tecnologias de Comunicação e Informação nos hábitos cotidianos parece influenciar a dinâmica da opinião pública, reforçando crenças irracionais e criando a impressão de que a autonomia da opinião e das decisões das pessoas é apenas um mito. De outro lado, as pessoas parecem agir racionalmente na maioria das vezes, nas circunstâncias normais da vida cotidiana, como se suas ações habituais resultassem de decisões relativamente autônomas. A hipótese que propomos para superar o dilema é de que as pessoas podem agir racionalmente na maioria das vezes, mas têm suas opiniões influenciadas por informações insuficientes ou distorcidas ou por hábitos e disposições emocionais previamente adquiridas. Essa hipótese, por sua vez, será examinada, a partir de uma perspectiva filosófico-interdisciplinar, considerando o papel das escolhas racionais na dinâmica de formação da opinião autônoma. Com diagramas ilustrativos, argumentamos que hipóteses da teoria dos Sistemas Complexos podem auxiliar a compreensão do possível papel de disposições emocionais no processo de formação de opiniões.SciELO PreprintsSciELO PreprintsSciELO Preprints2021-12-03info:eu-repo/semantics/preprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/preprint/view/327210.1590/SciELOPreprints.3272porhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/article/view/3272/5875Copyright (c) 2021 Mariana C.
