Description
Abstract
El objetivo principal de este artículo es el de profundizar e intentar dilucidar algunos aspectos relativos a la definición de la charlatanería. Partiremos de la definición que proporcionó el filósofo estadounidense Harry Frankfurt, considerada como la primera aclaración sistemática del término. Es por ello por lo que, en primer lugar, analizaremos las cuatro características principales que establece Frankfurt: la indiferencia a la verdad, la indiferencia a las creencias de la audiencia, la intención de engañar y la incompatibilidad con la mentira. A continuación se presentarán los argumentos que distintos autores han propuesto para problematizar esa definición original. Asimismo, mostraremos las teorías de algunos de estos autores que, además, han propuesto otros tipos de charlatanería. Finalmente, defenderemos la propuesta de Tobies Grimaltos y Sergi Rosell, que define la charlatanería como la indiferencia a las máximas griceanas de la conversación, considerando que es capaz de arrojar luz sobre un fenómeno tan complejo y variado como es la charlatanería.
