PENGUIN The Concept of Mind

I'd forgetten the signifcance of this work on the dualism of Western thought. It covers not only brain/intellect, but also body/soul and, flesh/ spirit. The English equivalent of Heigegger of the time

Ryle teaches us how to talk about mind, brain and behaviour without misunderstanding what we're talking about. This was a revelation to me when studying psychology, and continues to provide a means of clarity when discussing other subjects - nature and mythology for instance, or religion vs spirituality. Any student of science or philosophy will benefit from "getting" Ryle.

I haven't yet read this so my stars are worthless but I write to point out that the Kindle edition is NOT the Penguin edition and does not include the introduction by D.Dennett.

love the book however, there were six pages missing

Excellent
