About the book >.>.> First published in 1949, Gilbert Ryle's *The Concept of Mind* is a seminal work in twentieth-century philosophy, often regarded as a foundational text. Ryle describes it as a ?sustained piece of analytical hatchet-work? targeting Cartesian dualism?the view that mind and body exist as separate entities. This book presents a bold challenge to the notion of the ghost in the machine, critiquing Descartes? argument and offering a comprehensive examination of the relationship between mental states and physical states.Ryle not only rejects dualism but also critiques prevalent materialist theories of mind, asserting that these theories fail to resolve the fundamental issues posed by Cartesian thought. He argues that many contemporary theories unwittingly adopt erroneous assumptions that lead to significant philosophical problems, including issues surrounding mental causation and the concept of ?other minds.? Through this analysis, Ryle helps illuminate why these misunderstandings persist.The text provides an insightful exploration of various topics, including will, emotion, self-knowledge, sensation, observation, imagination, and intellect. Among the notable discussions is a critical distinction between ?knowing how? and ?knowing that,? which challenges fundamental philosophical assumptions. Ryle?s articulate and erudite prose not only addresses pressing issues within philosophy but also continues to influence contemporary thought. This sixtieth anniversary edition includes a substantial commentary by Julia Tanney, enhancing its value for readers interested in the complexities of mind and human behaviour. *The Concept of Mind* remains essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the philosophical landscape of mind and its implications.

Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Inglés. First published in 1949, Gilbert Ryleâs The Concept of Mind is one of the classics of twentieth-century philosophy. Described by Ryle as a âsustained piece of analytical hatchet-workâ on Cartesian dualism, The Concept of Mind is a radical and controversial attempt to jettison once and for all what Ryle called âthe ghost in the machineâ: Descartesâ argument that mind and body are two separate entities. This sixtieth anniversary edition includes a substantial commentary by Julia Tanney and is essential reading for new readers interested not only in the history of analytic philosophy but in its power to challenge major currents in philosophy of mind and language today. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
