Gilbert Ryle was born in England in 1900, one of ten children. In 1924 he was appointed to a lectureship at Christ Church College, Oxford where he was to remain for his entire academic career until his retirement in 1968. In 1945 he was elected to the Waynflete Chair of Metaphysical Philosophy. He was editor of the journal Mind from 1947 to 1971. He died on 6 October 1976 at Whitby in Yorkshire after a day's walking on the moors.
First published in 1949 Gilbert Ryle's "The Concept of Mind" is one of the classics of Twentieth-Century philosophy, influential and controversial in equal measure. Described by Ryle himself as a 'sustained piece of analytical hatchet-work' on Cartesian dualism, "The Concept of Mind" is a radical attempt to jettison once and for what Ryle called 'the ghost in the machine': Descartes' argument that mind and body are two separate entities. Ryle argues that the language traditionally used to describe the relationship between mind and body amounts to nothing less than a massive 'category mistake'. Terms such as 'mind', 'thought' and 'belief' do not refer to a mysterious, inner world but simply describe certain actions and our ability to perform them. Even the act of imagining, argues Ryle, should be understood as an outward rather than inner performance, as when we watch a boxer shadow-boxing an imaginary opponent before entering the ring. On this basis, Ryle overturns some long-held assumptions about language and knowledge, including knowledge of other people's minds and launched the new movement of philosophical behaviourism. Ryle builds his case via an erudite and beautifully written account of the will, emotion, self-knowledge, sensation and observation, imagination and the intellect. Some of the problems he tackles, such as the distinction between 'knowing how and knowing that', challenged some of the bedrock assumptions of philosophy and continue to exert important influence on contemporary philosophy. A classic work of philosophy and psychology "The Concept of Mind" is essential reading for anyone interested in the nature of the mind and human behaviour. This Sixtieth Anniversary edition includes a substantial commentary by Julia Tanney.

本書摺騰瞭將近兩個星期纔真正看完,本書運用瞭現代分析哲學中的一種獨特的方法,對哲學傳統中享有巨大影響的笛卡爾心身二元論進行瞭大膽的抨擊。我理解到的作者錶達的意思是1,哲學的任務不是去追求科學知識,而在於對已獲得的科學知識得到一種總體上的正確理解。哲學論證的的...
評分一 賴爾似乎始終沒有明白,或者沒有理解身心二元論的核心問題。在身心問題中,最關鍵的問題是:是誰在大腦內思考問題? 賴爾以為這個問題無意義。他說,“一個人究竟是怎樣超越他的感覺去領會外部實物的”,這是個假問題。人們似乎設想瞭一個沒有窗戶的小屋裏的囚徒,這個囚徒...

評分賴爾的基本觀點在於前麵兩章,即從語言學角度指齣笛卡爾的範疇錯誤來批判身心二元論。後麵的則主要是對於相關詞匯的研究。雖然對分析哲學的研究不多,不過仍然覺得後麵這一部分有很多值得商榷之處。當然,這本書的意義在於其為英美分析哲學提供瞭好的分析樣本和方法。 p40 所...

全麵且樸素的一本書,但我們要區分開理論的興趣和實踐的興趣,無論是解釋世界還是改變世界,坐在椅子上開開會概念裏打打轉是不行的,但是如果你說,唉,我的興趣就是這些,那麼這是無可厚非的。如果你還想說更大的話,那就是有點書/論文讀過多,逆嚮腦殘的傾嚮瞭。
