 This has been a short tour—concentrating on the philosophy of language and mind—through but a patch of the rich philosophical landscape that Ryle has charted. Left out are a number of themes and interests of Ryle, for example, his discussion of traditions in philosophy from Plato, through the Phenomenological tradition and the work of Brentano, Husserl, and then Heidegger, through the trenchant exposition of Wittgenstein’s Tractatus, to his criticism of Carnap, to Collingwood, and Anderson. I have not commented on the dissolution of philosophical problems he presented in his Tarner Lectures; nor have I been able to include discussions on morality, feelings, pleasure, and much more. Nor is this reading of Ryle a standard one: even many of his students interpreted him as a behaviourist and irrealist. I hope it is enough, however, to raise the possibility that his work has been widely misunderstood, is presently underestimated, and that he has a lot to contribute to today’s debates.
