Abstract: [eng] [cze]
This paper studies the mind-body problem in Searle's philosophy of mind. It thoroughly evaluates his criticism of the philosophical tradition and the scientifc methodology. As he argues, the former has been misleading us with its dualistic distinctions and the latter has been pushing us into various forms of reductionism. Most importantly, though, it examines his proposed solution to the mind-body problem, his defnition of consciousness, intentionality, subjectivity, and in addition, his famous "Chinese room" argument disputing claims of strong AI proponents. Although this paper does deal with many of the problems his claims and theories inherently contain, it is primarily meant to outline Searle's view on consciousness and its implications in the context of the mind-body problem tradition, rather than to be an extensive elaboration of his one specifc thesis.

Zkoumá jeho kritiku flozofcké tradice tohoto problému, která nás podle jeho mínění vedla k přijetí zavádějících kategorií a kritiku vědecké metodologie, která nás nutí k redukci mysli a vědomí na jejich fyziologii. Dále se věnuje jeho navrhovanému řešení problému mysli a těla, jeho defnici vědomí, intencionality, subjektivity a také jeho slavnému argumentu "Čínského pokoje". Ačkoliv tato práce zkoumá Searlovi teze kriticky a poukazuje na jejich častou problematičnost, není to komentář či rozvedení jedné jeho specifcké teze. Jejím primárním účelem je zhodnocení Searlovi koncepce vědomí v kontextu flozofcké tradice problému mysli a těla. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
