More about the book
Ryle critiques the Cartesian separation of mind and matter, proposing that traditional philosophical issues arise from misunderstandings in language rather than genuine problems. Through linguistic analysis, he reshapes our understanding of the mind's conceptual landscape, aiming to dissolve rather than solve these philosophical dilemmas. His clear prose and straightforward objectives align him with the thoughts of notable philosophers like Locke, Berkeley, Mill, and Russell, marking a significant contribution to the field.
