Ryle's

Ryle's approach was further developed, in a more formal fashion, by Fred Sommers (1959, 1971).

To illustrate this, consider the following examples from Ryle's classic 1932 paper, ˜Systematically Misleading Expressions™:

The problem with Ryle's account is its reliance on vague and unclarified talk of “aboutness.”

Logical Constants MacFarlane, John 2009

Thus, to employ a method of scientific demonstration to establish, or to criticize, claims about the object of metaphysical knowledge is, to use Ryle's classic term, a category mistake.

Ryle's explicit target in The Concept of Mind is what he calls the “Official Doctrine”, which results, he tells us, at least in part from Descartes 'appreciation that Galilean methods of scientific discovery were fit to provide mechanical explanations for every occupant of space, together with Descartes' conviction that the mental could not simply be a more complex variety of the mechanical.

Ryle's discussion of avowals introduces, in effect, a different elasticity in our use of ˜know™, when we say, for example, that usually a person knows what she is on about.

But the view just outlined, though widespread, represents a fundamental misapprehension of Ryle's work.
