"Minds, Brains and Science" takes up just the problems that
perplex people, and it does what good philosophy always does: it
dispels the illusion caused by the specious collision of truths.
How do we reconcile common sense and science? Searle argues
vigorously that the truths of common sense and the truths of
science are both right and that the only question is how to fit
them together.
Searle explains how we can reconcile an intuitive view of
ourselves as conscious, free, rational agents with a universe that
science tells us consists of mindless physical particles. He
briskly and lucidly sets out his arguments against the familiar
positions in the philosophy of mind, and details the consequences
of his ideas for the mind-body problem, artificial intelligence,
cognitive science, questions of action and free will, and the
philosophy of the social sciences.
