John Searle Searle (1979) offers a treatment of metaphor from the perspective of speech act theory, in which a statement possesses both a Speaker Utterance Meaning (SUM) and a Literal Sentence Meaning (LSM). In this model, the SUM of a statement is that meaning the speaker wishes to convey to the hearer, while the LSM is that meaning to be found by analysing the truth conditions of the sentence, independent of the speaker's intentionality. A statement is thus `literal' whenever the SUM and LSM are the same, i.e., the speaker both means what he says and says what he means. A metaphorical utterance, however, as with other rhetorical devices such as irony and hyperbolae, exhibits a rift between SUM and LSM, which is reconciled by the hearer via the construction of a figurative interpretation. When adhering to the social contract that underlies a conversation, the speaker will normally endeavour to minimise the conceptual distance between LSM and SUM, inasmuch as he wishes to be understood by the hearer (this consideration is embodied in the Gricean `Principle of Co- operation' , discussed in Coulthard 1985). From this speech act perspective, literal truth can be viewed as a form of semantic `honesty' or `plainness', that is, the hearer believes the speaker to mean what he says, and thus to say what he means in as co-operative a fashion as possible. Consider, for example, the statement

Searle describes how the illocutionary forces of a sentence can be described as obeying various rules. These rules delimited the propositional content, set the background conditions and assumed intent of the speaker, and reveal what it was the sentence was intended to do. The assumed intent of the speaker, or the intentionality of the sentence, became a prime focus in later work. Intentionality lies at the heart of the

It does not ask what particular words mean, or whether particular sentences are true (except of course for words and sentences about language). Rather, it asks what the meaning in general is.

13. Book Review Of John Searle John Searle THE REDISCOVERY OF THE MIND (MIT Press, 1992) (Copyright © 1999 Piero Scaruffi Legal restrictions Termini d uso ) First review. http://www.thymos.com/mind/searle.html

John Searle: THE REDISCOVERY OF THE MIND (MIT Press, 1992) Piero Scaruffi Legal restrictions - Termini d'uso First review Searle's critique of theories of the mind is based on the lack for a good theory of consciousness. There is no mind without consciousness, and there can be no theory of the mind without a theory of consciousness. All paradoxes of functionalist models arise from having neglected consciousness. Conscious mental states and processes are fundamentally different from anything else in nature because they are "subjective". They are not equally accessible to all observers. They cannot be reduced to more elementary units. Searle believes that the objective properties of the brain cause the subjective ones, i.e. that consciousness is a biological phenomenon, though consciousness can't be reduced to physical states in the brain. This is not "property dualism" because Searle rejects the idea that the universe can be partitioned in physical and mental properties: things such as "ungrammatical sentences, my ability to ski, the government and points scored in football games" cannot be easily categorized as mental or physical. The traditional mental vs physical dichotomy is pointless. Brain processes cause consciousness but consciousness is itself a feature of the brain ("non-event causation").

Searle, John - (b. 1932, Denver, CO; Ph.D. philosophy, Oxford; currently Professor of Philosophy, UC Berkeley.) In philosophy of mind, Searle is known for his critique of computationalism, his theory of intentionality, and his work on the problem of consciousness. See Chinese room intentionality ; intention-in- action; aspectual shape ; prior intention; The Background Critique of Computationalism and Strong AI The Theory of Intentionality The Theory of Consciousness ... References Searle took his Ph.D. in philosophy at Oxford, where he studied under John Austin and later became Lecturer in Philosophy at Christ Church from 1957-1959. Subsequently he went to UC Berkeley, where he became Professor of Philosophy. Searle's early work was in speech act theory, culminating in (1969) and (1979). He is credited with having elaborated the theory of speech acts associated with Austin, and with having introduced into the theory original elements of his own, most notably regarding the role played by speakers' and receivers' intentions in constituting the meaning of speech acts. Consistent with the focus on intentionality, his interest turned to philosophy of mind, where his major work can be seen as consisting in three main efforts: a critique of computationalism and strong Artificial Intelligence (AI); the development of a theory of intentionality; and the formulation of a naturalized theory of consciousness. The Critique of Computationalism and Strong AI The best known example of Searle's critique of computationalism and strong AI is his Chinese Room Argument (see separate entry). The main thrust of this thought experiment was to show that the syntactic manipulation of formal symbols does not by itself constitute a semantics. The implications for computationalism and strong AI were held to be the following: first, computationalism fails because the formal syntax of a computer program has been shown not to be intrinsically semantic, and second, strong AI fails because a system's behaving as if it had mental states is insufficient to establish that it does in fact have these states. Interestingly, Searle's assertion that syntax is insufficient to establish semantics predates the Chinese Room Argument and in fact represents one of the main objections to the generative grammar program that he voiced back in the early 1970s (e.g., 1972).

According to Searle, the human mind and human consciousness cannot be reduced simply to physical events and brain states. Searle is particularly well known for developing a thought experiment called the "Chinese Room" argument. With this, he thought he could demonstrate that no computer could ever be made which could really "think" in the way we do - specifically, that it could never acquire an "understanding" of events and processes. Imagine sitting alone in the room with a huge book full of Chinese characters. Every so often, someone pushes a piece of paper under the door. You take this paper and find that it has Chinese characters on it. Your job is to match up the characters on the paper with the same characters in the book - in doing so, you fill out a new piece of paper with different Chinese characters on it. You don't understand any Chinese, but you know how to fill out the piece of paper by simply taking the appropriate characters from the book.

16. Minds, Brains, And Programs john searle's seminal text on problems with the metaphor of the brain as computing device in which his famous Chinese Room argument is brought forth as criticism of the philosophical foundation for examining human cognition via computer simulation. http://members.aol.com/NeoNoetics/MindsBrainsPrograms.html

Minds, Brains, and Programs John R. Searle ["Minds, Brains, and Programs," by John R. Searle, from The Behavioral and Brain Sciences What psychological and philosophical significance should we attach to recent efforts at computer simulations of human cognitive capacities? In answering this question, I find it useful to distinguish what I will call "strong" AI from "weak" or "cautious" AI (artificial intelligence). According to weak AI, the principal value of the computer in the study of the mind is that it gives us a very powerful tool. For example, it enables us to formulate and test hypotheses in a more rigorous and precise fashion. But according to strong AI, the computer is not merely a tool in the study of the mind; rather, the appropriately programmed computer really is a mind, in the sense that computers given the right programs can be literally said to understand and have other cognitive states. In strong AI, because the programmed computer has cognitive states, the programs are not mere tools that enable us to test psychological explanations; rather, the programs are themselves the explanations. I have no objection to the claims of weak AI, at least as far as this article is concerned. My discussion here will be directed at the claims I have defined as those of strong AI, specifically the claim that the appropriately programmed computer literally has cognitive states and that the programs thereby explain human cognition. When I hereafter refer to AI, I have in mind the strong version, as expressed by these two claims.

17. Chinese Room Argument [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy] john searle's thought experiment is one of the best known counters to claims of artificial intelligence. http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/c/chineser.htm

The Chinese Room Argument The Chinese room argument - John Searle's (1980a) thought experiment and associated (1984) derivation - is one of the best known and widely credited counters to claims of artificial intelligence (AI), i.e., to claims that computers do or at least can (someday might) think. According to Searle's original presentation, the argument is based on two truths: brains cause minds , and syntax doesn't suffice for semantics . Its target, Searle dubs "strong AI": "according to strong AI," according to Searle, "the computer is not merely a tool in the study of the mind, rather the appropriately programmed computer really is a mind in the sense that computers given the right programs can be literally said to understand and have other cognitive states" (1980a, p. 417). Searle contrasts "strong AI" to "weak AI". According to weak AI, according to Searle, computers just simulate thought, their seeming understanding isn't real (just as-if) understanding, their seeming calculation as-if calculation, etc.; nevertheless, computer simulation is useful for studying the mind (as for studying the weather and other things).

18. Is The Brain A Digital Computer? searle, john R. (1980). Minds, Brains and Programs , The Behavioral and Brain Sciences.3, pp. 417424. searle, john R. (1984). Minds, Brains and Science. http://cogsci.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/Papers/Py104/searle.comp.html

Is the Brain a Digital Computer? John R. Searle I. Introduction. Strong AI, Weak AI and Cognitivism. Let us begin our investigation of this claim by distinquishing three questions: Is the brain a digital computer? Is the mind a computer program? Can the operations of the brain be simulated on a digital computer? I will be addressing 1 and not 2 or 3. I think 2 can be decisively answered in the negative. Since programs are defined purely formally or syntactically and since minds have an intrinsic mental content, it follows immediately that the program by itself cannot constitute the mind. The formal syntax of the program does not by itself guarantee the presence of mental contents. I showed this a decade ago in the Chinese Room Argument (Searle,1980). A computer, me for example, could run the steps in the program for some mental capacity, such as understanding Chinese, without understanding a word of Chinese. The argument rests on the simple logical truth that syntax is not the same as, nor is it by itself sufficient for, semantics. So the answer to the second question is obviously "No". One might think that this question would lose much of its interest if question 2 receives a negative answer. That is, one might suppose that unless the mind is a program, there is no interest to the question whether the brain is a computer. But that is not really the case. Even for those who agree that programs by themselves are not constitutive of mental phenomena, there is still an important question: Granted that there is more to the mind than the syntactical operations of the digital computer; nonetheless, it might be the case that mental states are

Some Reviews on Distributed Learning in Neural Networks Friends and Affiliates Home Interviews Philosophy > General John Searle Printable Version John Searle , Professor of Philosophy at Berkeley, is best known for his famous "Chinese Room" Analogy. The analogy goes like this: Dr. Searle is in a large room with two holes marked I (Input) and O (Output). From the 'I' box, he gets handed questions written in Chinese kanji . Also in his room is a huge book with English instructions as to how to look up the answers and write them on a piece of paper to the Chinese questions - therefore, practicalities aside, he could look up any question and give the right answer. Searle says this is analogous to computers running NLP programs — just because they input the correct answer given an input, no matter how complicated the algorithm, it does not constitute understanding The analogy has been a huge area of debate for the twenty years that has passed since Dr. Searle first published his paper on it. Generation5 is very proud to have had the chance to interview him.
