`Review from previous edition stimulating and vigorous'
Colin McGinn, New York Review of Books
`Making the Social World is graced with a positive charm with which
Searle confronts the cynicism if our time.'
Tribune
`may be recommended to newcomers to [Searle's] philosophy as a
lively introductory overview of many of his current research themes
and of some of his past research achievements.'
Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
`Making the Social World has no doubt been greatly anticipated by
Searle's many colleagues and critics, as his project has generated
considerable interest. Searle's project should make a significant
contribution to the philosophy of the social sciences.'
