The Background: An Embodied Reason of Coping in the World

This paper is motivated by the general idea that philosophical ambition to understand and define the human mind exclusively in terms of conscious, propositional, and rational behaviour cannot be adequate for it leaves out great part of our mentality that resides in the backround. On a more specific plane it focuses on the background as a means of providing the cognitive organism with most plausible scenarios of reality, and prepare it for what appears most likely to be the case in the wolrd, in an instant way and without engaging in contemplation. The background proves to be a powerful instrument of initiating queswork and does it in automatic and effortless manner. In such a way this backgrounded ‘reason’ acts ahead of actuality and drives our behavior and modes of our coping in the natural, social, and cultural world in an implicit way, not available in the conscious foreground.
