Ryle's logical behaviourism
Ryle's logical behaviourism
Real World
Ryle argued that pointing to a university's buildings, staff, and lectures and then asking 'but where is the university itself?' commits the same category mistake as pointing to brain states and asking 'but where is the mind?'.
Exam Focus
Always name the 'category mistake' and 'ghost in the machine' explicitly; vague reference to Ryle without these key phrases loses evaluation marks.
