Résumé
Common sense tells me I can control my life to some extent ; should I then, faced with a logical argument for fatalism, reject common sense ? There seems to be no place in a physical theory of the universe for the sensory experiences of colours, taste and smells, yet I know I have these experiences. In this book, Gilbert Ryle explores the conflicts that arise in everyday life, and shows that the either/or which such dilemmas seem to suggest is a false dilemma : one side of the dilemma does not deny what we know to be true on the other side.
This classic book has been revived in a new series livery for twenty-first century readers, featuring a specially commissioned preface by Barry Stroud.
