Summary:	This book is a systematic analysis of John R. Searle¿s philosophy of mind. Searle¿s view of mind, as a set of subjective and biologically embodied processes, can account for our being part of nature qua mindful beings. This model finds support in neuroscience and offers reliable solutions to the problems of consciousness, mental causation, and the self. ¿The main theme of Vicari¿s book is the exposition and explanation of my various writings about the mind. I must say that he has understood me and explained my views better than any other author I have read. Not content merely to present the philosophical arguments, he provides a powerful and extensive discussion of current neurobiological research, especially the work of Gerald M. Edelman, Giulio Tononi, and Antonio Damasio. Vicari sees how my work is related to, and supportive of, the best current work in neurobiology.¿John R. Searle.
