This is NOT the typical interviews book, filled with self-indulgence and old-time stories. Mr. Faigenbaum uses his deep knowledge of Sarle's developments to discuss the central aspects of his body of work. This non-compromized approach, sheds light on the key role Searle played in 20th century's North American philosophy. Thorough but also entertaining, a book that should be read by anyone who wants to understand the underlying tension in current phlosophical ideas.

I was very helpful for me to read this book. It helped me to underestand many complex ideas, and to understand the most general positions of this scholar. I recomend it for everybody studying Searle's developements. It is easy reading and very deep. Dr. Faigenbaum, the interviewer, did a great job.

This is NOT the typical interviews book, in which the author, too lazy to write critical work, chats about personal stories. Mr. Faigenbaum thorough understanding of Searle's body of knowledge allows him to delve deeply into his philosophical developments. The reader can therefore easily comprehend the crucial role Searle played in 20th Century American philosophy. Mr. Faigenbaum does a good job at using the interview format to his advantage, keeping the book conceptual, complete and entertaining.
