Sažetak
The paper is concerned with the idea that the essential feature of the background (knowledge) is not only that it is holistic and hidden but also that its capacities provide potentiality for human being (or rather acting) in the world in a way that does not require a recourse to consciousness, thought or deliberation. Such a backgrounded reason serves as a tool of effortless and efficacious coping with the world without contemplation. Since we nowadays know that only a very small portion of the mind is realized in consciousness and that by far the greatest part remains salient in its backstage it subsequently means that the philosophical ambition to understand and define the mind exclusively in terms of conscious thought and deliberation cannot be adequate any more ; it must take into account and explore the ‘invisible’ mechanism of background ‘reasoning’ that facilitates much of our behaviour, motor and mental.
