RYLE ON THE NOTION OF MEANING
RYLE ON THE NOTION OF MEANING

Summary/Abstract: In the present paper, I focus on Ryle’s understanding of the selfintimating theory of consciousness, his attempt to debunk skepticism, and his conceptual analysis of “mind.” Ryle holds that trueness and falseness, and correctness and incorrectness must be qualities or properties resident in the propositions which they characterize: the trueness or correctness of predictions and guesses must be features or properties which belong all the time to their possessors. There are infinitely many cases of one truth making necessary the truth of another proposition.
