The most recent has been popular, chosen as an essential read and is now the most popular blog on PT's home page.

From a ToK perspective, it offers a slightly new way of framing the Life, Mind, Culture dimensions as three dimensions of one's "Lifeworld," specifically the personal (self-conscious), the mental (which I characterize here as subpersonal), and the biological (impersonal). I encountered the personal versus subpersonal distinction in a course I took on the Theories of Knowledge<https://www.thegreatcoursesplus.com/show/theories_of_knowledge_how_to_think_about_what_you_know>, which was useful and have found this to be an added instrument in my language game tool box. The distinctions will become more relevant in future writings as this language addresses the problem of choice, accountability and responsibility, with the domain of the personal being also the domain of choice, accountability and responsibility, whereas the domains of the mental and then biological are steps removed from that.

Best,
Gregg
