This book may contain very minor cosmetic defects, but it is in pristine condition. There should be no yellowing, no foxing, no water damage, and no annotations of any kind on the cover and the pages. For paperbacks, there should not be any crease marks on the spine. This book is good as new — lucky you!

Books in Good Condition

We do our best to ensure the quality of our books, but there is no escaping the wear and tear that comes with time. Slight foxing and some annotations may be present on the pages and the cover. There should be no water damage of any kind. For paperbacks, there may be several crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Well Read Condition

This is a well-read book, which means that the previous owner probably really enjoyed it! The cover and pages may include moderate foxing and annotations, but the text is not obscured and still readable. Moderate cosmetic defects and minor water damage may be present on the edges of the book. For paperbacks, there may be multiple crease marks on the spine.

Description

Professor Ryle sets out to expose the myth of Descartes’ doctrine of the separateness of mental and physical existences, an attitude still fundamental to much philosophical and psychological thinking today and based on an aversion to the mechanistic assumption that ‘human nature differs only in degree of complexity from clockwork.’ The influence of the idea of a 'ghost in the machine' is traced, explained, and combated in traditional theories of will, feeling, imagination, perception, and thought. The nature of knowledge is carefully analysed and a theory of mind emerges from which the Cartesian myth is dispelled and which does justice to our ordinary common-sense views about the workings of our own, and other people's, minds.

Published 1983, Peregrine Book.

Binding of the book is slightly loose. Moderate shelfwear, some foxing and slight creasing on covers of book. Heavy tanning and foxing on edges of book. Annotations in pen on inside of front cover. Moderate foxing on insides of covers. Annotations in pen, moderate foxing and few stains on certain pages.
