About this title: In this work, John Searle launches an 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 ...

"It covered all the ideas in Minds, Brains and Science, plus a little more. The additional information on already covered topics was useful at times and overly redundant at other times. I think his criticisms of contemporary philosophy of mind are great, but the more involved his theory gets, the more holes there are.
Overall, I really appreciate Searle because he stresses what so many other philosopher's of mind have left out: the Mind! He says that we all know we have one (with the colors and the pains...etc.), but materialists are so bent on removing it from existence. As a non-Christian, Searle feels the need to avoid dualism, but I think dualists should give him a wink and a nod for an amenable position."
"In the summer of 2004, late August or early September, I was working full-time at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities bookstore. I was enjoying my summer making good money, preparing for my second year at the good ol' UofM. Every day that I worked I received a half-hour and a ten-minute break. I read John Searle's "The Rediscovery of the Mind" in one week, entirely during my breaks. It's not spectacular, but it's the only book I've ever read while on and only while on break from a job. Also, because it was a bookstore, I just grabbed the bookstore copy off the shelf and read that. After that week, I decided I didn't want to read books from the bookstore anymore (because I couldn't write in them and I wanted to eat lunch on my breaks sometimes), so I switched to doing the daily crossword. It didn't hurt that Searle is an extremely easy read -- he uses simple and often humurous language + builds a generally common-sense defense of various mind-related theses."
