What was Ryle's view of the mental as it relates to the physical?
How did Ryle's view differ from those before him?
- Ryle's philosophy aligns with behaviorism in psychology, where the self is defined in terms of the individual's behavior.
- Ryle characterized "Descartes' myth" of the dualism of mind and body as "the ghost in the machine," where the immaterial self is rattling around inside the physical body.
- For Ryle, the self is best understood as a pattern of behavior, the tendency or disposition for a person to behave in a certain way in certain circumstances.
- Inherent problems: Ryle's denial of inner selves causes a difficulty analogous to Hume's denial of a similar entityâ€"namely, that Ryle writes, speaks, and acts as if the existence of the inner self is not in doubt
