Minds, Brains, and Science Six talks by John Searle, Professor of Philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley.
4: A Walk to Patagonia
'If we think about human actions, we immediately find some striking differences between them and other events in the natural world.
At first, it is tempting to think that types of actions can be identified with types of bodily movement. But that is obviously wrong...'
In his fourth lecture, Professor Searle explores the mechanism underlying human behaviour. How can our ethereal thoughts be connected to our physical actions?
