The Concept Of Mind - Gilbert Ryle - Bog

The Concept of Mind, written by Gilbert Ryle, is a philosophical work that challenges the traditional view of the mind-body problem. Ryle argues against the Cartesian dualism that separates the mind and body as two distinct entities, and instead proposes the idea of ""category mistake"" in understanding the mind. He suggests that the mind is not a separate substance, but rather a set of dispositions and abilities that are manifested through behavior. Ryle also critiques the behaviorist approach to psychology, arguing that it fails to account for the complexity of human thought and consciousness. The book is considered a seminal work in philosophy of mind and has influenced subsequent debates in the field. It is written in a clear and accessible manner, making it suitable for both academic and general readers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
