Thanks for the reply, Stuart. My references include Searle's review of Chalmers' book on consciousness concerning the search for a fundamental theory of mind as well as Searle's review of Dennett's _Cons. Explained_. Let me know if you have gotton anything useful out of these reviews if you've already read them. Cheers, Budd ========================================= Need Something?
