Gilbert Ryle was one of the most important and yet misunderstood
philosophers of the Twentieth Century. Long unavailable, Collected
Essays 1929-1968: Collected Papers Volume 2 stands as testament to
the astonishing breadth of Ryle s philosophical concerns.
This volume showcases Ryle s deep interest in the notion of
thinking and contains many of his major pieces, including his
classic essays Knowing How and Knowing That, Philosophical
Arguments, Systematically Misleading Expressions, and A Puzzling
Element in the Notion of Thinking . He ranges over an astonishing
number of topics, including feelings, pleasure, sensation,
forgetting and concepts and in so doing hones his own philosophical
stance, steering a careful path between behaviourism and
Cartesianism.
Together with the Collected Papers Volume 1 and the new edition
of The Concept of Mind, these outstanding essays represent the very
best of Ryle s work. Each volume contains a substantial preface by
Julia Tanney, and both are essential reading for any student of
twentieth-century philosophies of mind and language.
Gilbert Ryle (1900 -1976) was Waynflete Professor of Metaphysics
and Fellow of Magdalen College Oxford, an editor of Mind, and a
president of the Aristotelian Society.
Julia Tanney is Senior Lectuer at the University of Kent, and
has held visiting positions at the University of Picardie and
Paris-Sorbonne.
