Description

The Concept of Mind by Gilbert Ryle is a groundbreaking work that challenges our understanding of the relationship between the mind and the body. Ryle argues that our common-sense view of the mind as a separate entity from the body is based on a fundamental mistake.

This influential book cuts through confused thinking and forces us to re-examine many cherished ideas about knowledge, emotion, imagination, consciousness, and the intellect. By examining the nature of the mind, Ryle sheds new light on some of the most fundamental questions of philosophy.

Published in 2000, this new edition of The Concept of Mind is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in philosophy and the nature of the human mind.
