An Analysis of Gilbert Ryle's The Concept of Mind

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In this provocative 1949 work, Ryle proposes that what we think of as the "mind" is little more than an illusion. Rene Descartes, one of the fathers of philosophy, imagined the mind and body as separate entities, a concept known as "mind-body dualism."
