| Sumario: | In this paper, we treat Ryle's The Concept of Mind as a polemical work. The main question is as follows. On what grounds does Ryle associate "an intellectual tendency" he criticizes with historical Descartes? We defend the following thesis: "the Myth of Descartes" is a rhetorical construction that does not reflect the main aspects of Descartes' dualism. Two conclusions are drawn. First, without providing clear criteria for analysis, Ryle tries to give his work a systematic character through rhetorical means. Secondly, the contrasts between Meditations and "the Myth of Descartes" reveal that Ryle fails to give due reflection to his relationship with the philosophical tradition. Straipsnyje Ryle'o Sąmonės samprata" traktuojama kaip poleminis veikalas. Keliamas klausimas, kokiu pagrindu jame kritikuojama intelektualinė tendencija" yra siejama su istoriniu Descartes'u. Ginama tezė, kad Descartes'o mitas" - tai retorinė konstrukcija, neatspindinti svarbių Descartes'o dualizmo aspektų. Daromos dvi išvados. Pirma, neduodamas aiškių analizės kriterijų, Ryle'as mėgina suteikti savo veikalui sistemiškumo pobūdį būtent retorinėmis priemonėmis. Antra, Meditacijų" ir Descartes'o mito" kontrastai atskleidžia, kad santykis su filosofine tradicija nėra Ryle'o pakankamai reflektuotas. |
