Abstract

The goal of the text is to sketch those features of the philosophy of John Searle that make it an objective and even, in certain sense, empirical investigation. The object of this investigation is our conscious or mental life and its intentionality. Searle’s approach to this phenomenon is not entirely naturalistic because, in its description, he uses the first person point of view. Searle, however, considers the conscious life to be a natural phenomenon, the manifestation of which is his view of intentionality as an evolutionary stratified phenomenon.
