Description

This book provides, in Part One, a critical examination of John Searle’s Theory of the Background, which offers the groundwork for a revolutionary theory of mind. In Part Two, Kort offers a suggestion for developing and expanding it. More specifically, Kort takes it that Searle’s insights about the Background are of great value, but his theory is underdeveloped because of restrictions imposed by Searle’s methodology. Having identified the restrictions and their sources, Kort re-directs Searle’s helpful insights about the Background and introduces possibilities for how it may be developed (the “Navigational” alternative).
