I wish I could meet this brilliant people.

[renumeratedfrog]

I wonder if John himself appreciates all this ass kissing?

[FB1801]

One of the greatest thinkers of our time.

i really like john searle as a philosopher. not as much as hubert dreyfus but i would say that both of those philosophers have been solely responsible for my recent philosophical development. i hope to visit america and berkely sometime soon before these guys drop dead!

Thank you Dr. Searle! I hope that you can continue your work and teaching for many years.

John Searle is so underrated. While everyone is falling for Dennett's reductionism, he keeps everyone honest. The Chines Room argument is a knock-down, drag-out argument.

[manwaring]

Why the hell are people marking this comment down? There are genuine arguments against Dennett's reductionism, in no way is Searle an idiot for rejecting it.

[dandiacal]

Thank you very much manwaring!

@dandiacal LOL falling for, believing it maybe because they think Dennett is right.

Oooohh the Homunculus in the room, sorry not convincing many people.

[ArcadianGenesis]

@dianep123 If anything, your comment fits Searle's accusation that the only people who tend to disagree with his philosophy (biological naturalism) are those who dogmatically adhere to old, traditional philosophical terminology and categories. The only reason why you think the homunculus is ridiculous is that you keep calling it the homunculus. This is an ancient term which has no relevance to Searle's philosophy. He simply claims that consciousness is ontologically irreducible.

What a great man!
