John Searle launches a formidable attack on current orthodoxies in the
philosophy of mind. More than anything else, he argues, it is the neglect
of consciousness that results in so much barrenness and sterility in
psychology, the philosophy of mind, and cognitive science: there can be
no study of mind that leaves out consciousness. What is going on in the
brain is neurophysiological processes and consciousness and nothing
more -- no rule following, no mental information processing or mental
models, no language of thought, and no universal grammar. Mental
events are themselves features of the brain, "like liquidity is a feature of
water."Beginning with a spirited discussion of what's wrong with the
philosophy of mind, Searle characterizes and refutes the philosophical
tradition of materialism. But he does not embrace dualism. All these
"isms" are mistaken, he insists. Once you start counting types of
substance you are on the wrong track, whether you stop at one or two. In
four chapters that constitute the heart of his argument, Searle elaborates a
theory of consciousness and its relation to our overall scientific world
view and to unconscious mental phenomena. He concludes with a
criticism of cognitive science and a proposal for an approach to studying
the mind that emphasizes the centrality of consciousness to any account
of mental functioning.In his characteristically direct style, punctuated
with persuasive examples, Searle identifies the very terminology of the
field as the main source of truth. He observes that it is a mistake to
suppose that the ontology of the mental is objective and to suppose that
the methodology of a science of the mind must concern itself only with
objectively observable behavior; that it is also a mistake to suppose that
we know of the existence of mental phenomena in others only by
observing their behavior; that behavior or causal relations to behavior are
not essential to the existence of mental phenomena; and that it is
inconsistent with what we know about the universe and our place in it to
suppose that everything is knowable by us. file download dinosi.pdf
