One way of summing up my “dissidence” towards the “mainstream” GA represented by Eric Gans would be to distinguish between two ways of understanding “scenic thinking.” For Gans, it seems to me, scenic thinking is the way we think of others: we “explain,” “describe” or “narrate” what others think and do in terms of a scene hypothetically occupied by those agents, a scene modeled, of course, on the hypothetical originary scene.
