Abstract
During the last 50. years, John R. Searle has developed influential views on fundamental research areas within and beyond philosophy. This article mainly focuses on Searle's contributions to three fields of research. In the first section, John Searle's concept of a speech act is tackled. Topic of the second section is Searle's theory of mind and of intentionality. Finally, the third part addresses Searle's 'Philosophy of Society' (a discipline, which broadly covers what nowadays also falls under the name of 'social ontology').
