Gilbert Ryle Quotes

Only through the medium of the public physical world can the mind of one person make a difference to the mind of another. The mind is in its own place and in each of us lies an inner life, the life of a ghostly Robinson Crusoe. People can see, hear, and jolt one another’s bodies, but they are irremediably blind and deaf to the workings of one another’s minds Picture Quote #1

So too Plato was, in my view, a very unreliable Platonist. He was too much of a philosopher to think that anything he had said was the last word Picture Quote #1

It is of first-rate importance to notice from the start that stupidity is not the same thing, or the same sort of thing, as ignorance. There is no incompatibility between being well-informed and being silly, and a person who has a good nose for arguments or jokes may have a bad head for facts Picture Quote #1

Chronicles are not explanatory of what they record Picture Quote #1

In searching for the self, one cannot simultaneously be the hunter and the hunted Picture Quote #1

Myths often do a lot of theoretical good, while they are still new Picture Quote #1

Man need not be degraded to a machine by being denied to be a ghost in a machine Picture Quote #1

Man need not be degraded to a machine by being denied to be a ghost in a machine. He might, after all, be a sort of animal, namely, a higher mammal. There has yet to be ventured the hazardous leap to the hypothesis that perhaps he is a man Picture Quote #1

Absolute solitude is on this showing the ineluctable destiny of the soul. Only our bodies can meet Picture Quote #1

To see is one thing; to picture or visualise is another. A person can see things, only when his eyes are open, and when his surroundings are illuminated; but he can have pictures in his mind’s eye, when his eyes are shut and when the world is dark Picture Quote #1

... my today’s self perpetually slips out of any hold of it that I may try to take Picture Quote #1
