Download A Macat Analysis of Gilbert Ryle's The Concept of Mind AudioBook Free
What we should think of as the "mind" is little more than an illusion. That is the provocative thesis of British philosopher Gilbert Ryle's 1949 work The Idea of Mind. Seventeenth-century French article writer René Descartes, one of the fathers of philosophy, imagined the mind and body as two independent entities that combine to create a human being. This concept had become called "mind-body dualism." Ryle go about ridiculing Descartes's notion of, as he place it, a "ghost in the machine" stating that it was "entirely phony, and phony not in detail but in rule...not merely an assemblage of particular flaws. It really is one big blunder and a blunder of a special kind." Ryle argues our distinction between concepts pertaining to the mind and others regarding matter happen from a problematic use of vocabulary (and particularly through what he message or calls "category flaws"). In The Idea of Head, his best-known & most important book, Ryle establishes a new branch of philosophy, "the philosophy of brain." The task remains an important declaration in mid-20th-century philosophy.
