Gilbert Ryle

The dichotomy of body and mind is a false one.

Understanding the mind requires a shift from inner to outer behavior.

To say that someone has a mind is to say that they have certain dispositions to act.

Understanding psychology requires a different approach than traditional science.

There is no ghost in the machine.

We must not confuse the descriptions of mental states with the states themselves.

Mental states are best understood as dispositions to behave in certain ways.

The mind is not a thing, but a capacity.

Rational thought is a manifestation of our behavioral dispositions.

The mind is not a place; it is a function.
