adam_text | Our self-conception derives mostly from our own
experience. We believe ourselves to be conscious,
rational, social, ethical, language-using, political
agents who possess free wiU. Yet we know we exist
in a universe that consists of mindless, meaningless,
unfree,
nonrational,
brute physical particles. How can
we resolve the conflict between these two visions?
In Freedom and Neurobiology, the philosopher John
Searle discusses the possibility of free will within the
context of contemporary neurobiology. He begins by
explaining the relationship between human reality
and the more fundamental reality as described by
physics and chemistry. Then he proposes a neurobio-
logical resolution to the problem by demonstrating
how various conceptions of free will have different
consequences for the neurobiology of consciousness.
In the second half of the book, Searle applies his theory
of social reality to the problem of political power,
explaining the role of language in the formation of
our political reality. The institutional structures that
organize, empower, and regulate our lives
—
money,
property, marriage, government
—
consist in the
assignment and collective acceptance of certain
statuses to objects and people. Whether it is the
president of the United States, a twenty-dollar bill,
or private property, these entities perform functions
as determined by their status in our institutional
reality. Searle focuses on the political powers that
exist within these systems of status functions and
the way in which language constitutes them.
Searle argues that consciousness and rationality are
crucial to our existence and that they are the result
of the biological evolution of our species. He addresses
the problem of free will within the context of a neuro-
biological conception of consciousness and rationality,
and he addresses the problem of political power
within the context of this analysis.
A clear and concise contribution to the free-will
debate and the study of cognition, Freedom and
Neurobiology is essential reading for students and
scholars of the philosophy of mind.
