Osiurak and Reynaud argue that cumulative technological culture is made possible by a "non-social cognitive structure" (sect. 1, para. 1) and they offer an account that aims "to escape from the social dimension" (sect. 1, para. 2) of human cognition. We challenge their position by arguing that human technical rationality is unintelligible outside of our species' uniquely social form of life, which is defined by shared intentionality (Kern & Moll 2017, Philosophical Psychology30(3):319-37; Tomasello 2019a, Becoming human: A theory of ontogeny. Cambridge, MA: Belknap Press).
奥西拉克和雷纳尔认为，累积技术文化是通过一种“非社会认知结构”（第 1 节第 1 段）实现的，他们提供了一种旨在“逃避人类认知的社会维度”（第 1 节第 2 段）的解释。我们通过争辩来挑战他们的立场，即人类技术理性在我们物种独特的社会生活形式之外是不可理解的，而这种形式是由共同意向性定义的（Kern & Moll 2017，《哲学心理学》30（3）：319-37；Tomasello 2019a，《成为人类：一种个体发生理论》。马萨诸塞州剑桥：贝尔纳普出版社）。
