In these brief comments on Bruno Celano?s ?Pre-conventions. A Fragment of the Background?, I propose further thoughts on what, following Celano?s analysis, I call embodied conventions. I begin with a number of remarks on Celano?s philosophical method. Then, I claim, first, that the social dimension of conventionality remains obscure in his account of embodied conventions. Second, that his account of pre-conventions (embodied conventions that are in the Background) is still imprecise due to the ambiguity of the notion of the Background.
