What use is philosophy if not to crack the idea of representation, the idea that experience is integrally tied to what is not experience? It is the idea of a bifurcated world, however you want to call out the fault line. This idea carries a tremendous amount of weight but is only effective because it is an idea, even the weight it carries is an ideal weight, it makes its case to ideas, intimidates them with great force since it knows exactly how they work. If you are mistaken about the 'outside' of experience you are even more mistaken about its inside, namely that the nature of ideas is of misty dream-like things floating about somewhere in a (physical) head or a computational mind. Certain things ought to be obvious that are not, the question is stubbornly begged, the narratives of living are mostly in accord with bifurcation, and when they are not they seem contemptible forms of denial. Philosophy is then the attempt to untangle this mess, to find better premises from which to take it on, directly addressing it in its heart.
