neither I nor Searle nor the CRT presume anything more than the basic
fact of philosophy of consciousness: there is subjective experience in
an objective universe. this is a phenomenological dualism.
Searle's phenomenological dualism is an ontological dualism because it
has two ontological basics; but, phenomenological dualism is not
necessarily substance dualism; and, in Searle's case, it is not ---
precisely because Searle only has one ontologically basic kind of
'stuff'. his other ontological basic, subjective experience, is an
ontologically basic phenomenon.
