Abstract
I will make a brief comment on the thesis of José C. Loredo-Narciandi and José C. Sánchez-González (2012) “Neither Dichotomies Nor Dualism; Simply Genesis”. Denying any reductionism and reification, they insists the importance
of inseparable relation between subject and object, then discuss about genesis. I pointed out that their argument lacks an
important element, i.e., mediator that differ from mere physical object. After discussing mediators nature, I discriminate
the three level of interaction which mediated by mediator. The first is the pre-interaction level, the second is physical
interaction level and the third is sign or language interaction level. The last argument of mine is about how we can solve
the problem of reification and reductionism. In the argument it is pointed out that intersubjectivity is key concept for understanding
and solving the problem appropriately.
