This book is a systematic analysis of John R. Searle's philosophy of mind.
Searle's view of mind, as a set of subjective and biologically embodied
processes, can account for our being part of nature qua mindful beings.
This model finds support in neuroscience and offers reliable solutions to
the problems of consciousness, mental causation, and the self. ?The main
theme of Vicari's book is the exposition and explanation of my various
writings about the mind. I must say that he has understood me and explained
my views better than any other author I have read. Not content merely to
present the philosophical arguments, he provides a powerful and extensive
discussion of current neurobiological research, especially the work of
Gerald M. Edelman, Giulio Tononi, and Antonio Damasio. Vicari sees how my
work is related to, and supportive of, the best current work in neurobiology.
John R. Searle
