Hey Randy....
Randy,
In reference to Dacarts Myth, What is Ryle's solution to the mind/body problem? This **** ant has to be chasing the dragon to write this **** and call it a book. Fuggin Philosophers, I hate 'em.

Gilbert Ryle, The Concept of Mind: Descartes' Myth
Descartes made a category mistake in declring the mind as a separate substance. One makes a category mistake when one thinks that things belong to the same category or group of things when they do not. (For example, one might think that the University of Western Ontario is a particular a building on campus when in fact it's a different sort of thing entirely.) Descartes believed that because the language of the mind was different from the language of the body, the two must be of separate substances.
For Ryle, the mind is a higher order function of the body. The mind is something that the body does, it is not something that some different thing does.
