I don’t like the term “postrational” because it sounds like it implies anti-rational.

I'd have to know what "post-rational" means before venturing an opinion. But I'm not yet post-hyphen.

I'm afraid I'm complete out of sync with modern trends in philosophy, esp. since discovering John Searle.

If you like Searle, it may be worth going backward and sideways, to the thinkers he drew on and talked to

Backwards means Wittgenstein. Meh. I have my own sideways inclinations - Lakoff, Johnson, Jones, Metzinger, de Waal etc

Also the American institutional school: Talcott Parsons, Thorstein Veblen, e.g. And JL Austin on speech act theory.

I've read some Austin to no great avail. Jones and De Waal on the other hand, both blew my socks off and changed my paradigm.

That would be Richard H. Jones, esp Analysis and the Fullness of Reality. Paradigm changing for me.

Ah, just read the blurb on Amazon. Source of your types-of-reductionism posts; I had forgotten the name.

Sort of. Substance reductionism combined with structure anti-reductionism. The solution to many intractable problems.
