An Analysis and comparison of George Lakoff's and John Searle's accounts JF - Philosophical Problems in Science (Zagadnienia Filozoficzne w Nauce) JA - ZFN VL - 0 IS - 56 SE - Articles DO - UR - https://zfn.edu.pl/index.php/zfn/article/view/27 SP - 57-92 AB - This paper discusses John Searle’s biological naturalism and George Lakoff’s embodied mind hypothesis. These theories are presented as examples of a certain part of the philosophy of mind that breaks with the tradition launched by Descartes. In both cases, the break from this tradition is indicated to be a radical one as the theories argue not only against Cartesian dualism - the basic philosophical categories utilized by Descartes are being questioned. This attempt of departure from distinctions that seem to form a great part of the contemporary philosophy of mind may stand for a chance to provide a new perspective for some old philosophical problems.
