Making the Social World: The Structure of Human Civilization
The book offers a profound understanding of how we create a social reality—a reality of money, property, governments, marriages, stock markets and cocktail parties. The paradox addressed is that these facts only exist because we think they exist and yet they have an objective existence. Continuing a line of investigation begun in his earlier book The Construction of Social Reality, the author identifies the precise role of language in the creatio…
An Illuminating Exchange The Construction of Social Reality: An Exchange
In his The Construction of Social Reality, Searle presents an account of rights, responsibilities, obligations, duties, and similar entities in terms of the formula X counts as Y in context C, where "X" refers in the simplest case to some physical object or event and "Y" to the result of imposing upon X some deontic power or function. Smith attempts to show the limitations of this formula, focusing especially on the examples of contested property…
L’enquête ontologique: Du mode d’existence des objets sociaux
Les sociologues n'ont jamais cessé d'exprimer leur intérêt pour le problème dit de « la nature de la réalité sociale ».

Des conceptions diamétralement opposées s'y affrontent, les unes « réalistes », les autres « anti-réalistes ». Ce …

Why the Connection Argument Doesn't Work
In Rediscovery of the Mind John Searle denies the existence, and even the possibility, of mental states that are in principle closed to consciousness.

We have no notion of the unconscious except as that which is potentially conscious. (p. 152 italics original) As Searle is well aware, this puts him at at odds …
Non-Reductionism and John Searle's The Rediscovery of the Mind
As one would expect, John Searle's latest book The Rediscovery of the Mind, is a daring and controversial work. It is a blunt and lively book, as is exhibited by the title that didn't make it: What's wrong with the Philosophy of Mind? Searle's long term goal is to bring consciousness back to center stage in the philosophy of mind from the rather marginal position it currently occupies in contemporary analytic discussions. But as with most daring …
