It is primarily a conceptual analysis, not a historical study of the way in which representative government has evolved, nor yet an empirical investigation of the behavior of contemporary representatives or the expectations voters have about them.

This now-classic work challenges what Ryle calls philosophy’s “official theory,” the Cartesians “myth” of the separation of mind and matter. Ryle’s linguistic analysis remaps the conceptual geography of mind, not so much solving traditional philosophical problems as dissolving them into the mere consequences of misguided language. His plain language and esstentially simple purp...(展开全部)
