Description: This book takes up just the problems that perplex people and does what good philosophy always does: it dispels the illusion caused by the specious collision of truths. How to reconcile common sense and science? Searle argues that the truths of common sense and the truths of science are both right; the only question is how to fit them together.
Brief description: John R. Searle is Willis S. and Marion Slusser Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley.
Review Quotes: Searle's book is an admirably clear and vigorous exposition of his views on a connected set of philosophical issues of importance and timeliness.--John Perry
