Philosophy In The Real World.
Why is it that when we start studying philosophy, we so often end up denying things we all know to be true?
More and more people are being drawn to philosophy for clues about how to think about life. But most of us who try and grapple with concepts such as reality, truth, consciousness and society find it hard to discuss them with any confidence. In 'Mind, Language And Society' one of the world's leading philosophers explains these abstract notions in real-world terms, so that even those with no knowledge of philosophy can understand how these principles apply to our everyday lives.
The book is lucid and engaging, appealing to the general reader as much as to the specialist, not least because Searle believes that many of the problems of philosophy are created by philosophy itself: that truth lies before us in plain sight and can, therefore, be expressed in plain language.
