John R. Searle: Thinking about the Real World

Michel Jan G., Franken Dirk, Karakus Attila

Book (edited collection) | Peer reviewed

Abstract

John R. Searle is one of the world's leading philosophers. In his long and outstanding career, he has made groundbreaking as well as lasting contributions to the philosophy of language, to the philosophy of mind, and to the nature, structure, and functioning of social reality. This volume documents the 13th Münster Lectures on Philosophy with John R. Searle. It includes not only 11critical papers on Searle's philosophy and Searle's replies to the papers, but also an original article by John R. Searle on his overall philosophical enterprise entitled "The Basic Reality and the Human Reality". I think Münster is probably unique among contemporary universities in its ability to produce such a high level of philosophical production from their philosophy students. - John R. Searle
