Abstract

No final do século XX, a versão final da teoria lógica da mente foi apresentada. Ela era constituída por uma aproximação formal e sintática que objetivava descrever e explicar a habilidade de inferências humanas. Tendo em vista vários resultados experimentais obtidos nos útimos anos que fogem ao escopo desta teoria, podemos afirmar que ela, hoje, encontra­se desatualizada. Neste artigo, objetivamos atualizar alguns aspectos particulares da teoria lógica da mente em relação com evidências empíricas recentes e argumentos oriundos da literatura especilaizada. Tais aspectos se referem aos símbolos que ela deveria adotar, ao esquema essencial e ao modo no qual ela pode conviver com suas negações.
