Gilbert Ryle
university argument
if a person is touring a university and they are shown all of the facilities and then they ask where the university is
they expect to see a university but a university is all of its facilities but the university is its facilities they are searching for something that isn't there
pros
personhood involves every aspect of the physical and mental thinking is part if 'me' not something that can be categorised and separated
cons
the thinking mind is an immaterial substance which is the real 'me'. the mind directs the actions of the body so talking about the mind and the body as sperate substances helps me to see me
Descartes incorrectly sees the physical and mechanical as being controlled by the mysterious and non material mind (evil demon)
