John Searle was interviewed in the latest episode of <i>The Partially Examined Life</i> about his new book, <i>Seeing Things As They Are</i>.<p>He says that the fallacious argument that we only see mental representations and not reality is &quot;so bad I call it The Bad Argument.&quot;<p>The interview is quite amusing, and it might be interesting to read both his book and Hoffman&#x27;s.
