Abstract

We defend the thesis that the logical level and the objective level are in a strong opposition. Logical level is normative and transcendental whereas objective level is naturalist and substance-based. The use of language is an interpretative/valorative praxis which starts by normative presuppositions. We use satisfaction ambits, elastic constraints and critical states in order to achieve meaning. Meaning of language is not a substance, mental language is immeasurable and the project of naturalization of reason, as in evolutionism and cognitivism, doesn’t work with normativity. Finally, we will support a transcendental and normative conception of logic against eliminative materialism
