John Searles je autorom, ktorého diela sa vyznačujú prenikavým pohľadom na ľudskú psychiku a zložité medziľudské vzťahy. Jeho písanie často skúma temnejšie zákutia ľudskej povahy a záhadné udalosti, ktoré ovplyvňujú životy jeho postáv. Searles majstrovsky buduje napätie a prekvapivé odhalenia, čím čitateľov vťahuje do pohlcujúcich príbehov plných zvratov. Jeho schopnosť vykresliť vierohodné postavy a ich vnútorné boje z neho robí jedinečného hlásateľa v súčasnej literatúre.

Die Struktur der menschlichen Zivilisation
Angela Merkel ist die Bundeskanzlerin der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, und mit solchen Sätzen beschreiben wir unsere Welt: Sie enthält Dinge wie Bundeskanzler, Geld und Ehen, die nur existieren, weil wir an sie glauben. Im Gegensatz dazu stehen natürliche Tatsachen wie die Schwerkraft, die unabhängig von unserem Glauben existieren. John Searle argumentiert, dass es nur eine Realität gibt, die auf der natürlichen Welt basiert, wie sie von Physik, Biologie und Chemie beschrieben wird. Er zeigt, wie die soziale Welt nahtlos in diese Realität integriert ist und dass soziale Tatsachen ebenso objektiv sind wie natürliche. In seinem neuen Werk behandelt Searle zentrale Themen wie Sprache, Denken, Geist, Natur, Freiheit, Determinismus, Institutionen, Macht und Menschenrechte. Er verbindet all diese Aspekte zu einer einheitlichen Theorie der menschlichen Zivilisation. Das Buch kann als Fortsetzung seines Klassikers über die gesellschaftliche Wirklichkeit gelesen werden und bietet zugleich eine Einführung in Searles Philosophie. Es richtet sich an alle, die verstehen möchten, was unsere Welt zusammenhält.
