Estereotipos, prejuicios y razones para la acción

Abstract

This paper seeks to analyze if stereotypes and prejudices (bias) should be considered reasons for action, according to the postulates generally held by action theories. The aim is to explore if those forms of thought can influence our actions and, if that ́s the case, how is it that they do so, all of which is relevant to answer one opening question: if it is possible to prove a cognitive process even when it occurs within a person’s internal realm
