Abstract

This research deals with the philosophy of language in general and with “jhon Searle” in particular, starting with clarifying the concept of language philosophy and its characteristics with the transformations of this century and its purpose, and the fields of language philosophy, then moving to doctrine of logical positivism and its role and importance in the production of meaning, then in analytical philosophy, then getting acquainted with searle’s philosophy of language and his development of Austin’s research, and the transition from the philosophy of language to his philosophy of mind. The importance of our research lies in the fact that it sheds light on one of the qualitative areas in which the philosophical presence and its multiple relationships emerge, the most important of which in language. As for his problem, it is identified in the investigation of the founding ideas of searle’s philosophy of language and the novelty that it carried. We  have come to the following conclusions: the philosophical interest in language and this was evident in the philosophy of logical positivism and analytical philosophy, and the valuable additions that “Searle” added, especially the idea of intentionality and its transition from its field to the field of the philosophy of mind.
