CARDONA SUAREZ, CARLOS ALBERTO  y  GUTIERREZ VALDERRAMA, JULIANA. EXTRAMISSIONISM VS INTRAMISSIONISM NUANCES OF A SCIENTIFIC CONTROVERSY. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2022, vol.71, suppl.8, pp.13-40.  Epub 19-Jun-2024. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvaiores.v71n8supl.103585.

We examine the controversy between extramissionism and intramissionism concerning visual perception. We argue that the assessment of the closure of the controversy depends on the explanandum that the philosopher/historian traces in the reconstruction they pursue. If one focuses on the causal mechanisms, the controversy ended in favor of intramissionism. If we focus on aspects associated with intentionality or how mental states refer to external objects, the controversy leads to a conciliation between causal intramissionism and mental extramissionism. Finally, if we question the need for an internal/external distinction, the controversy dissolves for being meaningless.

Palabras clave : scientific controversy; extramissionism; intramissionism; visual perception; sensation.
