In this collection of essays, John Searle, one of the most important and influential philosophers of the last thirty years, addresses the question of how we can have a unified and theoretically satisfactory account of ourselves and of our relations to other people and to the natural world. The essays explore how to situate consciousness within a scientific conception of the world, the implications of Searle's approach for psychology and the social sciences, and defend a version of mental realism by challenging the skepticism of Quine and Kripke. This collection is valuable for professionals and students in philosophy, as well as to neighboring fields such as psychology and linguistics.
John Rogers Searle was an American philosopher widely noted for contributions to the philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, and social philosophy. He began teaching at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1959 and was Willis S. and Marion Slusser Professor Emeritus of the Philosophy of Mind and Language and Professor of the Graduate School until June 2019, when his status as professor emeritus was revoked after he was found to have engaged in sexual harassment and retaliation against a former student and employee, in violation of the university's sexual harassment policies.
