SANTAMARIA-VELASCO, Freddy  e  SANCHEZ-AVILA, Juan Sebastián. Thinking about Consciousness: Mind, Intentionality and Language. Escritos - Fac. Filos. Let. Univ. Pontif. Bolivar. [online]. 2017, vol.25, n.55, pp.437-463. ISSN 0120-1263.  https://doi.org/10.18566/escr.v25n55.a05.

The article deals with the theories of the American philosopher John Searle concerning his embracement of a form of emergentism of the mind and his ideas about consciousness, intentionality with 'C', and language as a critique of traditional standpoints closer to positivist theses. Bearing this in mind, the general purpose is to reveal how the philosophy of Searle aims to recover the active role of the agent and, in consequence, the semantic and pragmatic dimensions of language are vindicated, dimensions in which consciousness and intentionality are key to the construction and dynamism of social reality.

Palavras-chave : Consciousness; Intentionality; Language; Mind; Semantics.
