Abstract
T. Reydon (2010) analiza el debate actual sobre los géneros naturales e identifica dos
corrientes -denominadas “aproximación metafísica” y “aproximación epistemológica”– que
interpretan y abordan un mismo problema de
manera distinta. Después de examinar de forma
crítica algunos aspectos problemáticos de la propuesta de Reydon se presenta un análisis alternativo, en donde se recogen y desarrollan aspectos de su propuesta introduciendo nuevos elementos a fin de salvar sus limitaciones. Defendemos que entender la discusión filosófica sobre los géneros naturales en los términos de este nuevo análisis facilita la comprensión y caracterización de muchos de sus aspectos más controvertidos.
Recently, T. Reydon (2010) argued for the importance of natural kind theory in philosophy of science and presented an analysis of the present-day debate. He identifies two lines of work –a “metaphysical approach” and an “epistemological approach”– that interpret and address the same philosophical problem differently. Here, I will first examine critically his proposal pointing out certain aspects of his analysis that should be improved, and second, I present a different proposal, which includes and develops some aspects of Reydon’s analysis but introduces new elements in order to overcome those limitations. I argue that this proposal is best suited for understanding the peculiarities and differences among theoretical approaches in the current debate on natural kind
