John Searle was born in Denver,Colorado,in 1932. He received his PhD at the university of Oxford in 1959. Under Austin and Strawson’s guidance,he studied philosophy under the influence of daily language school point of view.His study in the late age focuses from language philosophy into the mental philosophy. He thinks speech is human behavior, the study of words is a part of the research on people’s behavior, the fundamental things behind such behavior is the intentionality of heart, and then he further studies the relationship between intention and action, freedom structure and will action,and so on.so he thinks that philosophy of language and philosophy of action is just two aspects of the broader field of philosophy of mind.This article mainly explores the operation philosophy of Searle from the five parts. The first part is the reason of the selected topic, the research status at home and abroad, research methods,research difficulties and innovation of system in detail. The second part makes a simple introduction about western philosophy, figures out its essence, and the relationship with analytical philosophy, language philosophy and the philosophy of mind. On the basis of systematic development of his thought, it clears the rheological history, accurately grasps the backboard of Searle action philosophy, presents its theoretical advantages directly. The third part is the concrete analysis of Searle action philosophy, point out its research basis -- speech act theory and its research consciousness, intention, and on this basis,the article makes a further research on early speech act theory and the late actor "intentionality" and then explores its action structure, by analyzing the action and intentionality, free will, causal relationship and determinism problem, clarify Searle action theory, the main point of the intuitive show the research content. Searle thinks that intentionality is the most basic and important feature of human action, on the base of intentional he interprets action structure, and thinks we can use psychological causality to explain human behavior. Searle proposed "fix compatibility theory" point of coordinate relationship between free will and determinism, and thought that both of them explained action from different aspects. The fourth part evaluates Searle action philosophy--clear its contribution to the philosophy of action, point out its limitations reasonably. The fifth part compares and analysis operation philosophy with Marx’s practice philosophy, put forward the similarities and differences between them. On the basis of comprehensive analysis of both mutual reference, display the advantages of intuitive theory and need of improvement.Searle, as a representative action philosophy of language analysis into the road, makes concrete analysis and interpretation of the action itself, puts forward the "intention" in action, emphasizes the initiative of the actors, action structure, to adapt to the new development of the relationship between knowledge and highlights the importance of the "line" from the perspective of language philosophy. It is a certain significance for action microscopic interpretation experience in the development of Marx’s practical philosophy. But at the same time we also should see its limitations, such as only emphasize individual action on comprehensive and dialectical view of its operation philosophy. On the basis of absorbing its advantage, we should avoid its limitations effctively and perfect the action theory.
