Abstract

ABSTRACT In this commentary on Fernandez Velasco and Casati’s “Subjective Disorientation as a Metacognitive Feeling” in this journal, I take issue with their distinction between “the objective condition of being lost and the subjective condition of disorientation”. Instead, I argue that being lost is geographic disorientation, and in all cases, it depends on a person’s subjective awareness that they are uncertain about their location or proper course. This, in fact, provides a unified definition of geographic disorientation. In contrast, being objectively misplaced is misorientation instead of disorientation, and is conceptually, and often in practice, a distinct state of affairs.
地理定位、迷失方向与错误定位:评Fernandez Velasco与Casati
在本刊对Fernandez Velasco和Casati的“作为一种元认知感觉的主观迷失”的评论中,我对他们对“迷失的客观条件和迷失的主观条件”的区分提出了质疑。相反,我认为迷路是地理定向障碍,在所有情况下,它取决于一个人的主观意识,他们不确定自己的位置或正确的路线。事实上,这提供了地理定向障碍的统一定义。相比之下,客观上错位是方向错误,而不是迷失方向,在概念上,而且在实践中,往往是一种独特的状态。
