Abstract
One side of the Biological Naturalist approach put forward by John Searle is about what the digital computer with von Neumann architecture, powered by the Church–Turing thesis, will never achieve, while the other side claims that consciousness can be investigated from a scientific, objective, third-person perspective, against the views known as dualism in the philosophy of mind. As consciousness is a subjective, irreducible, qualitative but biological part of the natural world, it is possible to simulate the mind with a von Neumann digital computer with a serial processor. On the other hand, he thinks that the primary goal of the strong artificial intelligence doctrine is still impossible. The concrete mind with intentional content is more than an abstract program with mere symbols. The only basis on which all his radical conclusions rise is Searle’s wholehearted adoption of the assumption that semantics cannot emerge from syntax as a conceptual truth. The whole problem comes down to his unconventional use of the terms identity, reduction, elimination, simulation, conceptual truth, and causality.
