John Searle

Opis

The renowned philosopher John Searle investigates the nature of social reality. How do institutions such as money, marriage, and government arise from the mere power of words? And how do mind, language, reason, and freedom come into being from the mindless, meaningless particles that make up the physical universe?

Recenzje

Making of the Social World is graced with a positive charm with which Searle confronts the cynicism if our time.
