John Searle on Language & Social Ontology














Searle, John. "John Searle on Language and Social
Ontology." Video of the lecture at Oslo, May 2011. YouTube (Philosophy Overdose) 11 June 2013.*
    

In this talk, John Searle attempts to explain how human institutional
facts are created and maintained by a specific type of linguistic
representation (i.e. a status function declaration). This creates and
maintains systems of deontic power: rights, duties, obligations and
empowerments of various kinds. And these provide the glue that hold
human society together. They do such by providing humans with desire
independent reasons for action, that is, reasons for doing things that
are independent of one's immediate inclinations.

This talk was given at the University of Oslo in May 2011.
