About the Book:In "The Concept of Mind," Ryle talks about some tricky ideas. He says that thinking about the mind as separate from the body is like making a mistake in how we understand things. Imagine if someone said there are three things in a field: two cows and a pair of cows – that doesn't make sense, right? He also asked if the bunghole of a beer barrel is part of the barrel or not, just to make people think. In the book, Ryle talks about two kinds of knowledge: "knowing-how" and "knowing-that." It's like knowing how to ride a bike versus knowing that Paris is the capital of France. This idea is used in how our memory works. Ryle thinks that philosophers often forget about the practical side of knowing things, like how to do stuff. They focus too much on discovering facts and truths and forget that intelligence is also about knowing how to do things, not just thinking about ideas. About author, Gilbert Ryle:Gilbert Ryle (19 August 1900 – 6 October 1976) was a British philosopher, principally known for his critique of Cartesian dualism, for which he coined the phrase "ghost in the machine." He was a representative of the generation of British ordinary language philosophers who shared Ludwig Wittgenstein's approach to philosophical problems. Some of Ryle's ideas in philosophy of mind have been called behaviourist. In his best-known book, The Concept of Mind (1949), he writes that the "general trend of this book will undoubtedly, and harmlessly, be stigmatised as 'behaviourist'." Having studied the philosophers Bernard Bolzano, Franz Brentano, Alexius Meinong, Edmund Husserl, and Martin Heidegger, Ryle suggested that the book instead "could be described as a sustained essay in phenomenology, if you are at home with that label."
