Minds, Brains, and Science Six talks by John Searle, Professor of Philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley.

'It is tempting to think that, just as we have discovered that large portions of common sense do not adequately represent how the world really works, so we might discover that our conception of ourselves is entirely false. But there are limits on this possibility....'
Professor Searle has attempted to answer some of the questions that concern him most about how we fit into the rest of the universe. In his final lecture, he explores our profound conviction that we act of our own free wills - a conviction that persists in the face of strong evidence to the contrary.
