One of America''s best-known philosophers offers a succinct,
easy-to-follow guide for applying philosophical theory to real
life.
Disillusionment with psychology is leading more and more people
to formal philosophy for clues about how to think about life. But
most of us who try to grapple with concepts such as reality, truth,
common sense, consciousness, and society lack the rigorous training
to discuss them with any confidence. John Searle brings these
notions down from their abstract heights to the terra firma of
real-world understanding, so that those with no knowledge of
philosophy can understand how these principles play out in our
everyday lives. The author stresses that there is a real world out
there to deal with, and condemns the belief that the reality of our
world is dependent on our perception of it.
"A remarkable feat. This is the book for anyone who wants to
learn about the big philosophical questions." -Owen Flanagan, Duke
University
"This book is a major event. John Searle has brought together
and elucidated forty years of brilliant work on Mind, Language, and
Society. Bravo!" -Jerome Bruner, New York University
