BIOGRAPHY

John Rogers Searle (sɜrl; born 31 July 1932) is an American philosopher. He is currently Willis S. and Marion Slusser Professor Emeritus of the Philosophy of Mind and Language and Professor of the Graduate School at the University of California, Berkeley. Widely noted for his contributions to the philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, and social philosophy, he began teaching at UC Berkeley in 1959.As an undergraduate at the University of Wisconsin, Searle was secretary of Students against Joseph McCarthy. He received all his university degrees, BA, MA, and D Phil, from Oxford University, where he held his first faculty positions. Later, at UC Berkeley, he became the first tenured professor to join the 1964–65 Free Speech Movement. In the late 1980s, Searle challenged the restrictions of Berkeleys 1980 rent stabilization ordinance. Following what came to be known as the California Supreme Courts Searle Decision of 1990, Berkeley changed its rent control policy, leading to large rent increases between 1991 and 1994.In 2000 Searle received the Jean Nicod Prize; in 2004, the National Humanities Medal; and in 2006, the Mind & Brain Prize. Searles early work on speech acts, influenced by J. L. Austin and Ludwig Wittgenstein, helped establish his reputation. His notable concepts include the Chinese room argument against strong artificial intelligence. In 2017, Searle was accused of sexual harassment.
