The concept of mind

Book • 1949
In this book, Gilbert Ryle argues that the concept of mind as a separate entity from the body is a philosophical illusion.

He critiques Cartesian dualism, introducing the concept of 'the ghost in the machine' to describe the mistaken idea of a mind separate from the body.

Ryle contends that mental processes are not distinct from physical actions but are instead behaviors and dispositions observable in the physical world.

The book is a foundational work in the philosophy of mind, challenging traditional views on the nature of mind and behavior.
