Gilbert Ryle was one of the most important and controversial
philosophers of the Twentieth century. Long unavailable, Critical
Essays: Collected Papers Volume 1 includes many of Ryle s most
important and thought-provoking papers.
This volume contains 20 critical essays on the history of
philosophy, with writing on Plato, Locke and Hume as well as
important chapters on Russell and Wittgenstein. It also includes
three essays on phenomenology, including Ryle s famous review of
Martin Heidegger s Being and Time first published in 1928. Although
Ryle believed phenomenology will end in self-ruinous subjectivism
or in a windy mysticism his review also acknowledged that Heidegger
was a thinker of great originality and importance.
While surveying the developments in the philosophy of language
and philosophical logic, Ryle sets out his own conception of the
philosophers role against that of his predecessors and
contemporaries.
Together with the second volume of Ryle s collected papers
Collected Papers Volume 2 and the new edition of The Concept of
Mind, all published by Routledge, these outstanding essays
represent the very best of Ryle s work. Each volume contains a
substantial introduction 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 Lecturer at the University of Kent, and
has held visiting positions at the University of Picardie and
Paris-Sorbonne.
