The Model of Skill Acquisition and Motor Intentionality——On Dreyfus's Debates with Searle and McDowell
By criticizing the Cartesian model for explaining human intelligence,Dreyfus proposed a model of skill acquisition based on skillful coping,which includes five developing stages of skills and three levels of skillful cop-ing.It reveals the embodied motor intentionality that is different from the traditional presumed representational in-tentionality,as well as the absorbed coping that is different from intentional actions.Through the debate with Searle and McDowell,Dreyfus gradually elaborated their relationships.The motor intentionality and absorbed coping shared by human beings and animals always serve as the background basis of representational intentionality and in-tentional actions.On this basis,the withdrawal of deliberated intentional actions from absorbed coping through de-liberation is the necessary approach for us to learn new skills or reach higher skill levels.This perspective asks for a richer ontology that differs from Cartesian mental representation and individualism,and responds more generally to the dilemmas in the field of philosophy of technology.
