Perspectivalism has been widely interpreted as the doctrine that the truth-value of any proposition is decided by a relevant observer, and there is no truth beyond one’s perspective. Perspectivalism so construed has been quite prosperous in contemporary Western philosophy. According to Searle’s understanding, Heidegger is another perspectivalist in the sense that his phenomenological methodology does exclude the validity of the physical reality from the Dasein’s perspective. However, this is exactly the point where Searle cannot agree with Heidegger, because Heidegger’s perspectivalist framework will inevitably frustrate any attempt to formulate the basic concern of Anglo-American philosophy of mind, viz. How to combine the perspective of a particular person inside the world with an objective or scientific view of that same world?
