| description | The paper deals with the problem of the mind from the point of view of the dualist tradition of the Samkhya-Yoga. After distinguishing mind from consciousness, the Samkhya-Yoga proposes a complex theory of the mind where the thinking stuff is understood as a material entity and all mental phenomena, including knowledge and emotions, are described as subtle operations of matter. Yet the Samkhya-Yoga avoids both the pitfalls of materialism and idealism by leaving room for a non-material entity, a contentless witnessing consciousness that shines, illuminates and knows the world but remains beyond the contingency of matter.
The paper claims that the Samkhya-Yoga position is close to the neodualist position maintained by philosophers like David Chalmers, who explain the functional aspects of mind in terms of materialism, but do not reduce the conscious experience to a material explanation.
According to Chalmers explaining consciousness entails two different types of problems: the easy ones that can be explained in terms of materialism and the difficult ones that try to explain why and how the conscious experience takes place at all.
The paper shows how the Samkhya-Yoga deals with these two sets of problems. The functional aspects of the mind are easily explained by bringing in the material theory of the three guna, while the tricky problem of experience is explained as a constitutive relation between matter and consciousness. This relation is one of the most intricate problems of the Samkhya-Yoga. It has been considered in different ways as similitude, correlation, reflective knowledge or as the reflection of consciousness in the most refined form of matter: the mind. |

El presente artículo aborda el problema de la mente desde el punto de vista de la escuela dualista del samkhya-yoga. Tras hacer la distinción entre mente y conciencia, el samkhya-yoga propone una teoría compleja de la experiencia al postular una mente material cuyos procesos, incluyendo las emociones, pueden ser explicados mediante una teoría materialista capaz de describir las ideas y los sentimientos como meras transformaciones de la materia sutil. Al mismo tiempo, el samkhya-yoga rehúye el simple materialismo al preservar la conciencia como principio inteligible que permite el funcionamiento de una mente material y en última instancia inconsciente. El artículo mantiene que la posición del samkhya-yoga se acerca a la postura neodualista defendida por el filósofo David Chalmers, que asigna los aspectos funcionales del conocimiento a principios meramente materiales, pero rehúsa reducir la experiencia consciente a una explicación material. Al hablar de conciencia, según Chalmers, pueden distinguirse dos tipos de problemas: los fáciles, que se refieren a su funcionamiento y pueden ser explicados mediante el materialismo; y los difíciles, que intentan explicar por qué y cómo se produce la experiencia consciente. El artículo muestra cómo el samkhya-yoga intenta solucionar estos dos tipos de problemas. Los aspectos funcionales de la mente son fácilmente explicables en términos de la teoría de los tres guna, mientras que el problema más difícil de la experiencia intenta ser elucidado como una relación constitutiva entre materia y conciencia. Esta relación constituye uno de los problemas más intrincados del samkhya-yoga, y ha sido explicada de diferentes formas: como similitud, como correlación, como conocimiento reflectivo o como un reflejo de la conciencia en la forma más refinada de la materia: la mente.
