| Resumo: | This essay aims to motivate an epistemic non-individualistic conception of reflection. The proposal is non-individualistic because (a) it does not regard just the individual metacognitive performance and (b) it refers to a situation in which two or more persons are in dialogical disagreement on the same subject matter or proposition target; (c) they dispute based on conversational space and are entitled to expect of one another to be engaged in attempts at truth, avoidance of error, and understanding. I call this proposal Dialectical account of Reflection (DaR). According to (DaR), reflection is a conscious and intentional intelectual operation through which a person becomes aware of the contents of disputed beliefs in a dialogical or interpersonal exchange, involving both her own beliefs and the beliefs of her interlocutors. In (DaR), reflection produces the epistemic good of avoiding epistemic vices and promoting epistemic moderation. |
