商品簡介
This now-classic work challenges what Ryle calls philosophy's "official theory," the Cartesian "myth" of the separation of mind and matter. With plain language and his essentially simple purpose placing him in the tradition of Locke, Berkeley, Mill, and Russell, Ryle offers a brilliant linguistic analysis that remaps the conceptual geography of the mind, not so much solving traditional philosophical problems as dissolving them into the mere consequence of misguided language. For this edition, Daniel C. Dennett - once a student of Ryle's - adds a scintillating introduction placing the book in its proper historical context, and explaining why and how it's become "a much richer text than it was when Ryle wrote it."
