A sixtieth anniversary edition of Gilbert Ryle's "The Concept of Mind" which is one of the classics of Twentieth-Century philosophy, influential and controversial in equal measure. 'This new edition of Ryle's classic work, with a substantial critical study by Julia Tanney, will make possible a re-assessment of Ryle and of the revolutionary potential of The Concept of Mind. Tanney's treatment of Ryle is complex and subtle, and opens up important new ways of thinking in philosophy of mind and philosophy of language.' - Cora Diamond, University of Virginia, USA
