Gilbert Ryle (1900-1976), Philosopher English born with Brighton. It is one of the largest representatives of the philosophical school of Oxford. It is especially known for its major work, The Concept off Mind published in 1949, which is held for one of the most important works of the Philosophie of the ordinary language. In this work, Ryle is caught some with the " mythe" Cartesian of the " ego cogito" , that it qualifies " dogma of the phantom in the machine". The wrong of Descartes would have been to have tried to interpret the mental conduits like the course of a mechanical process, by establishing that the nonintelligent conduits cannot come from a causality different from that from the intelligent conduits. According to Ryle, a great number of activities express qualities of spirit without being for all that the intellectual operations, nor the result of intellectual operations. It is caught some with the voluntarist, implicit theory in the Cartesian idealism, by elucidating the concept of will in certain expressions of the everyday life, including the connotations of responsibility, culpability, resolution to be acted… whereas very often the involuntary one is the result of imposed constraints (case of the child which is late with the course because the bus was not per hour…) Conversely, the concept of emotion deserves a fuller elucidation: feeling with the inclination, without omitting the question of the pleasure and the desire. Etc cf the book.

Thus, Gilbert Ryle is located in the same inspiration as Wittgenstein.
