Resumen

Este artículo relaciona los conceptos Bahá’ís de la mente con pensamientos filosóficos. Presenta argumentos de ambas fuentes para un entendimiento no reduccionista de la mente humana y argumenta que, a pesar que la ciencia puede ayudarnos avanzar nuestra comprensión de la mente, no es suficiente en esta búsqueda, ya que no puede captar completamente como la mente humana experimenta la realidad. El artículo revisa la manera conceptual de la mente para conocer, explora las implicaciones del lenguaje para la filosofía de la mente, y considera como tanto la búsqueda de la ciencia como el fenómeno de la religión irradian luz sobre las capacidades y la naturaleza de la mente. Después de sugerir que el proceso de aprendizaje en el cual la comunidad mundial Bahá’í se ha embarcado podría servir como un modelo para involucrarse en un emprendimiento colectivo para el mejoramiento del mundo, vuelve a la filosofía para aceptar que, mientras muchos filósofos contemporáneos en forma persuasiva argumentan que la mente humana no se puede reducir a la causalidad física, la resistencia filosófica a una dimensión espiritual de la mente humana es excesivamente limitada. Las mentes de los seres humanos demuestran capacidades que yacen más allá de la naturaleza, y una concepción de la mente como “el poder del espíritu humano” o “el alma racional” puede no solo ser una manera fructífera para entender la mente, sino conduce a una orientación para los seres humanos en el mundo, demostrado por el proceso de aprendizaje discutido anteriormente en el artículo, lo cual es prometedor para el futuro de la humanidad.
