Reviews'The prose is clear, the approach is straightforward, the arguments powerful. It would be an especially good text to use in the graduate seminar in the philosophy of the mind.'

SynopsisIntentionality is taken to be the crucial mental phenomenon, and its analysis involves wide-ranging discussions of perception, action, causation, meaning, and reference. In all these areas John Searle has original and stimulating views. He ends with a resolution of the 'mind-body' problem., John Searle's Speech Acts (1969) and Expression and Meaning (1979) developed a highly original and influential approach to the study of language. But behind both works lay the assumption that the philosophy of language is in the end a branch of the philosophy of the mind: speech acts are forms of human action and represent just one example of the mind's capacity to relate the human organism to the world. The present book is concerned with these biologically fundamental capacities, and, though third in the sequence, in effect it provides the philosophical foundations for the other two. Intentionality is taken to be the crucial mental phenomenon, and its analysis involves wide-ranging discussions of perception, action, causation, meaning, and reference. In all these areas John Searle has original and stimulating views. He ends with a resolution of the 'mind-body' problem.

Fundamental title on the philosophy of language
Fundamental treatise on the philosophy of language. This is a prequel, written ten years after, to Speech Acts. In Intentionality, Professor John Searle investigates what compels humans to express themselves, formulate utterances and concepts, create institutional reality, and establish what we end up calling culture out of the locutionary constitution of human desire. Written in accessible language for anyone to understand, showing the pragmatic side of the American philosophical tradition.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
