In 'The Mystery of Consciousness', John Searle addresses one of the most fundamental problems of philosophy and biology: what is consciousness? Is our internal perception something separate from the body? Searle examines the perspectives of scientists and philosophers such as Francis Crick, Gerald Edelman, and Daniel Dennett, challenging the idea that the mind works like a computer. With a critical approach, he explores how the brain causes conscious states and how this understanding could influence artificial intelligence and our own human nature.
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of Mind and Language and Professor of the Graduate School until June 2019, when his status as professor emeritus was revoked after he was found to have engaged in sexual harassment and retaliation against a former student and employee, in violation of the university's sexual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.
