Gilbert Ryle Livres

Set against the backdrop of 1970s London, this book explores the intricate dynamics of human relationships and societal changes during a transformative era. It delves into the lives of its characters, revealing their struggles, aspirations, and the impact of their environment on personal choices. The narrative weaves together themes of love, ambition, and the quest for identity, offering a poignant reflection on the complexities of modern life. With rich character development and vivid settings, it captures a unique moment in time.

This now-classic work challenges what Ryle calls philosophy's "official theory," the Cartesians "myth" of the separation of mind and matter. Ryle's linguistic analysis remaps the conceptual geography of mind, not so much solving traditional philosophical problems as dissolving them into the mere consequences of misguided language. His plain language and esstentially simple purpose place him in the traditioin of Locke, Berkeley, Mill, and Russell.

This book shows that the conflicts that arise from everyday ways of thinking are not dilemmas as they appear to be.
