Hubert Dreyfus has recently taken the position that practical wisdom is not primarily an excellence of the intellect, or even of the mind. According to Dreyfus, contra the Aristotelian tradition from which the notion derives, true practical wisdom supersedes rationality, rather than perfecting it. Practical wisdom on his view is an absorbed or engaged way of ‘coping’ with the world; something that humans are capable of doing ‘‘without thinking at all.’’ It is therefore best understood on the perceptual model of response to affordances. In what follows I will be concerned with two, related questions. First, can practical wisdom be understood in terms of response to affordances, as the latter idea is developed in the work of Dreyfus and of Sean Kelly? I will argue that the answer is no, because as it stands the model of response to affordances cannot account for the practical role of the agent in her own absorbed coping, including her absorbed acts of practical wisdom. Response to affordances is, as it were, too purely

专注应对和实践智慧

休伯特·德雷福斯 (Hubert Dreyfus) 最近采取的立场是，实践智慧主要不是智力的卓越，甚至不是头脑的卓越。根据德雷福斯的观点，与概念所源自的亚里士多德传统相反，真正的实践智慧取代了理性，而不是完善理性。在他看来，实践智慧是一种专心致志地“应对”世界的方式；人类“根本无需思考”就能做到的事情。因此，最好通过对可供性反应的感知模型来理解。在接下来的内容中，我将关注两个相关的问题。首先，是否可以根据对可供性的反应来理解实践智慧，因为后者的想法是在 Dreyfus 和 Sean Kelly 的工作中发展起来的？我会争辩说答案是否定的，因为就目前而言，对可供性的反应模型无法解释代理人在她自己专注的应对中的实际作用，包括她专注的实践智慧行为。可以说，对可供性的反应过于纯粹
