      • The online version is the pre-print version of the "target article". BBS's policy is to have each target article followed by about 2 dozen commentaries and a reply by the author. For the full treatment of Searle's paper, you'll need to go to the library:
        SCI/ENGR Periodical Collection Per QP360 .B425
        LOCKWOOD Periodical Collection Per QP360 .B425

   2. Searle, John R. (1986), Minds, Brains and Science: 1984 Reith Lectures (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press).

   3. The secondary literature, both by Searle and by others, on the CRA is immense. The best brief overviews are:
      1. Hauser, Larry (2001), "The Chinese Room Argument", Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy.

      2. Cole, David (2004), "The Chinese Room Argument", in Edward N. Zalta (ed.), Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (Fall 2004 Edition)
