ABSTRACT

In this commentary on Fernandez Velasco and Casati’s “Subjective Disorientation as a Metacognitive Feeling” in this journal, I take issue with their distinction between “the objective condition of being lost and the subjective condition of disorientation”. Instead, I argue that being lost is geographic disorientation, and in all cases, it depends on a person’s subjective awareness that they are uncertain about their location or proper course. This, in fact, provides a unified definition of geographic disorientation. In contrast, being objectively misplaced is misorientation instead of disorientation, and is conceptually, and often in practice, a distinct state of affairs.

摘要

在这篇关于费尔南德斯·韦拉斯科和卡萨蒂的“主观迷失为元认知感觉”的评论中，我对他们在“迷失的客观条件与迷失的主观条件”之间的区别持怀疑态度。相反，我认为迷路是地理迷失，在所有情况下，这都取决于一个人的主观意识，即他们不确定自己的位置或正确的路线。实际上，这提供了地理混乱的统一定义。相反，客观地错位是错误的方向，而不是迷失方向，并且在概念上（通常在实践中）通常是不同的事务状态。
