Accounting for Agency in a Connectionist World: A Response to Kati Breckenridge

Pages 526-532 | Published online: 14 Sep 2012
 

Abstract

In this meditation on the relationship between the constraints of connectionist systems on one side, and the possibility of human freedom on the other, the author suggests that a sense of agency emerges in the development of the reflective mind and imagination, a process that psychoanalysis facilitates and encourages.

En esta reflexión sobre la relación entre las constricciones de los sistemas conexionistas y la posibilidad de la libertad humana, la autora sugiere que un sentimiento de iniciativa emerge en el desarrollo de la mente reflexiva y la imaginación, un proceso que el psicoanálisis facilita y estimula.

Dans cette méditation sur la relation entre, d'une part, les contraintes des systèmes connectionnistes, et d'autre part, la possibilité de liberté humaine, l'auteur suggère que le sentiment d'être un agent émerge dans le développement d'une imagination et d'un esprit réflexifs, un processus que la psychanalyse favorise et encourage.

In questa riflessione sulla relazione tra i vincoli dei sistemi di connessione e la possibilità della libertà umana, l'autrice suggerisce che un senso di agency emerge dallo sviluppo della qualità riflessiva della mente e dell'immaginazione, un processo che la psicoanalisi facilita e incoraggia.

In dieser Meditation über die Beziehung zwischen den Fesseln bindender Systeme auf der einen Seite und der Möglichkeit menschlicher Freiheit auf der anderen, weist die Autorin auf ein Gefühl der Wirksamkeit hin, das in der Entwicklung von Reflexivität und Imagination auftaucht, ein Prozess, der durch die Psychoanalyse erleichtert und verstärkt wird.
