Gilbert Ryle on Dualism - Dictionary of Arguments
Flor I 258 Dualism/Descartes/Flor: 1. The body is in space and time, the mind only in time. 2. The body can be described mechanically, the mind cannot be described in this way. 3. The body is publicly observable, the mind is private. 4. A person has direct knowledge, (privileged access) through introspection and evidence of their consciousness - other minds can never be accessible. 5. The mind is understood as the sum of inner processes and conditions that may in turn cause physical processes or activities and states - RyleVs: mechanical processes cannot act on quasi-mechanical processes and vice versa. >RyleVsDescartes, cf. >Cartesianism._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
