John Searle: Information from Answers.com (1633 words)
John Rogers Searle (born July 31 1932 in Denver, Colorado) is the Slusser Professor of Philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley, and is noted for contributions to the philosophy of language, philosophy of mind and consciousness, on the characteristics of socially constructed versus physical realities, and on practical reason.
Searle was educated at Christ Church, Oxford University on a Rhodes Scholarship.
Searle opposes both dualism and reductionism in favor of a position he calls "biological naturalism." This view characterizes consciousness as an emergent phenomenon of the organism that is an entirely physical property (analogous to the way the pressure of a gas in a container is an emergent property of many gas molecules colliding).
Dictionary of Philosophy of Mind - Searle, John (910 words)
Searle also analyzes intentional states in terms of their directions of fit (which can be world-to-mind, mind-to-world, or null) and directions of causation (which can be mind-to-world or world-to-mind).
Searle further argues that if consciousness is to be considered a feature or effect of brain processes, we must be clear to understand that it is not an effect separate from and posterior to the brain processes causing it.
Searle is careful to point out that while it appears to be the case that certain brain functions are be sufficient for producing conscious states, our current state of neurobiological knowledge prevents us from concluding that they are necessary for producing consciousness.
