I got a series of lectures by him from The Teaching Company and when he started explaining recursive decomposition it cracked me up every time he said "stupid homunculi"
I love Searle. His actual philosophical beliefs are insane (Chinese Room amergument, combination of a first-person ontology with a belief in the causal closure of the material world), but he's a great speaker, both in clarity and content.
Aww, andrea. Still holding off on giving something other than a holding response? Is that because you've reached the limits of your lecture notes now?
21:40, but philosophy is not just conceptual clarification it is also reflection. even if science solves a problem there is still the opportunity for reflection. Thus philosophy does not ever really 'close up shop'.

Would you mind being more specific about what it is about Searle's philosophical views that you find insane?
