| Resumen en inglés | Some philosophers, such as Davidson and McDowell, c laim that rationality involves a contrast between the subject ive and the objective, be - tween mind and world. For these authors, such contr ast merges into reflective thought, through linguistic competence. Millikan, i nstead, has argued that rationality can be placed within non linguistic cre atures, which exhibit a first contrast between mind and world by means of behavio ral flexibility, as a result of cognitive integration and affordances. In this p aper, I will identify what I call “cognitive flexibility”—a middle ground between reflective thought and behavioral flexibility. Cognitive flexibility paves the route to another sort of process-rationality, which results from reasoning a nd inference. Moreover, I argue that certain kinds of primates are rational i n this way through instru - mental reasoning |
