Sobre ficción, lenguaje, (con)ciencia y modelos de interpretación

Abstract

The mental abilities of first human beings arise in an evolutionary process in which their brains develop alongside their skills to represent objects and situations that do not exist. This allows them to remember past events, plan ahead for the future and replace the real references for symbols, as well as to develop argument structures in which these symbols are contextualized by grammar, acquiring meanings that go beyond the direct and sensible experience of individuals. Imagination, invention and simulation thus become the real engines of knowledge and fiction, which are necessary to attribute meaning to linguistic expressions, regardless of their relationship to reality. Science and literature are thus in the same explanatory scope that consciousness, narrative and argumentation.
