John R. Searle has made profoundly influential
contributions to three areas of philosophy:
philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, and
philosophy of society. This volume gathers
together in accessible form a selection of his
essays in these areas. They range widely across
social ontology, where Searle presents concise and
informative statements of positions developed in
more detail elsewhere; artificial intelligence and
cognitive science, where Searle assesses the
current state of the debate and develops his most
recent thoughts; and philosophy of language, where
Searle connects ideas from various strands of his
work in order to develop original answers to
fundamental questions. There are also explorations
of the limitations of phenomenological inquiry,
the mind-body problem, and the nature and future
of philosophy. This rich collection from one of
America's leading contemporary philosophers will
be valuable for all who are interested in these
central philosophical questions.
