摘　　要：传统观念相信,理性是人之为人的标志特征。大卫·帕品纽为认知理性提供了一套自然化方案,它由两个步骤构成:一是通过知识论的可靠主义界定何为理性,二是用进化论阐述理性何以出现。关于第二步,他相信作为心理模块的读心机制和手段-目的推理机制构成了理性的架构。本文指出,帕品纽无法把手段-目的推理机制恰当地安置在心灵架构之中。David Papineau proposes a naturalization of the cognitive reason via evolutionism, which is composed by answering two questions, the eval- uative one and the explanatory one. The former equates the cognitive reason with the reliability-for-truth, while the latter can be realized by the mind-reading module and the capacity of means-end reasoning. This paper suggests that the project would be failed for the reason that the capacity of means-end reasoning may not able to fit into the presumed architecture of mind.
