THE MYSTERY OF CONSCIOUSNESS (New York Review, 1997)
(Copyright © 2005 Piero Scaruffi | Legal restrictions - Termini d'uso )
|
The book collects essays, or, better, critical reviews of other people's books.
By definition, it is a rather fragmentary work
that fails to provide an organic view of Searle's theory of consciousness
(his "biological naturalism"). Mostly, Searle argues against everybody else
for the sake of arguing (something he can do very well).
Mostly, he debunks the hot theories of the decade.
The reader does not gain any insight into consciousness, learn any new developments of the field, or comprehend Searle's overally idea. Other than his proverbial "brains cause minds". TM, ®, Copyright © 2005 Piero Scaruffi |
