Dualism Ryle 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.

Descartes, R. Ryle Vs Descartes, R. Danto I 176
Idea / Descartes: Enforcement of a kind of act on the basis of an idea. Even if I were a stone now, then I would just be a thinking stone; ens cogitans. (RyleVs). Descartes thought = action - Thinking stone possible: ens cogitans
Ryle I 67ff
RyleVsDescartes: the semi-metaphorical idea seems to be based on the deeper philosophical assumption that there are two different kinds of existence (wrong!).
I 10
Descartes: Thesis: ~there is a polar opposition between mind and matter in a common field, which is called "space".
I 11
Privileged access: the reports of a psyche about its own affairs have a certainty to them that reports about the physical world cannot have. Sensation may be mistaken or confused, consciousness and introspection are not.
Flor I 258
RyleVsDescartes: myth of the mind in the machine: Descartes: dualism:
1) The body is in space and time, the mind is only in time
2) The body can be described mechanically the mind cannot.
3) The body is publicly observable, the mind is private.
4) Through introspection and evidence of their consciousness a person has has direct knowledge, (privileged access), other minds can never be accessible.
5) The mind is seen as the sum of internal processes and states, which in turn can cause physical processes or activities and states.
Flor I 259
RyleVsDescartes: Problem: the suspected link between the "mind machine" and the physical machine: the relations must be understood as either a mechanical or quasi mechanical. A third possibility is ruled out. But whichever opinion we follow: we only name the problem, but we don't solve it; because the question remains as to how it should be possible at all that the two models of explanation are mutually exclusive: on mechanical processes cannot be impacted by quasi mechanical ones and vice versa!
