The modern conception of mind is as the termination of meaning, the place where interpretation ends. We hear words and translate them into ‘mental representations’ or ‘mentalese’ and then we’re done. Everything flows into the individual mind, like matter into a black hole.
The individual mind is our God, the beginning and the end, that which gives all things meaning.
This conception of mind removes us from society, from tradition, from being a part of something bigger than ourselves. The modern individual sits apart from everything external, the Creator of his own world.
