John Searle: Beyond Dualism Pt. 1

John Searle is an American philosopher interested in philosophy of mind.Here are some key elements of Searle's position.* Rejects computational theory of mind with his Chinese Room argument.* Rejects Cartesian dualism. Probably rejects property dualism as well.* Study of consciousness using scientific method IS possible. This is very much against previously conceived notion that goes something like "consciousness is known subjectively only, thus scientific inquiry from third person perspective cannot explain consciousness."* Reduction of consciousness to neurobiological phenomena is not strictly possible since nuerobiological phenomena loses the qualitative feel of subjectivity. One must tackle this problem directly without eliminating consciousness.* Rejects epiphenomenalism, so he admits free will is real. I think he now takes somewhat agnostic position on this issue.This is part 1.Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... 5: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... 6: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... 7: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... 8: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

Very nice video. I'm about to change my state of consciousness nonvoluntarily. *YAWN*

PianoOrganPlayer is right.

Can somebody please post where and when this lecture took place? Thanks.

Rejecting epiphenomenalism has nothing to do with accepting free will.

He talks one direction and walks in the other. It is recorded in the wikipedia that he was an tenured faculty supporter of the Free Speech Movement. Yet very soon his main effort was the quash the student movement at Berkeley. I think there is not connection between his intellect and action. A true Kantian.

I don't claim to know what you know, I only assert that there are things that neither you nor anyone else knows, and the existence of a Christian God or the Jesus of the Gospels is certainly among them. If not, Id love to hear your arguments to the contrary. So, have your attempts to assemble a Christian HQ society met with any success to speak of.

"poverty is not a noun" Yes, I'll grant you that one's doozie. I was stoned when I wrote it and winced as soon as I hit "post comment". But I certainly stand by the rest of the comment. I understand that you were trying to sound poetic, but "...it is a poverty " is certainly a less than felicitous phrase. "Very ambitious if you do say so yourself." And? Why is this said in an apparently reproachful tone? What is wrong with ambition?

How do you know what I know?

Very ambitious if you do say so yourself. Thank you for the grammar lesson, but if you are to write, I suggest you learn a thing or two about poetry.
