Er....I'm sorry? Ryle was refuted by Foucault? I don't THINK so. Actually Rylean 'behaviourism' is much closer to post-structuralist thought than is say, cognitivism or structuralism. I have changed the article accordingly.

Biography
Seems like there should be a biographical section here. Kevin L. 04:02, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
Ryle's behaviorism
Ryle's logical behaviorism should not be confused with Skinner's psychological (radical) behaviorism, but it is interesting to note that Skinner did profess admiration for Ryle, and it appears that Skinner borrowed some of Ryle's analysis of mentalism (along with Wittgenstein's) in developing his own critique of mentalist psychologies.

- Behaviorism was an intellectual fad for the first half of the twentieth century. Many philosophers felt compelled to make their philosophies agree with that limited and restrictive psychology. Ryle, as a professional academic, could not oppose or contest the fad.Lestrade (talk) 01:33, 18 March 2008 (UTC)Lestrade

La Mettrie and "ghost"s ?
I am deleting the reference to La Mettrie from the sentence <He attacks the idea of 17th and 18th century thinkers (such as Descartes and La Mettrie) that nature is a complex machine, and that human nature is a smaller machine with a "ghost" in it to account for intelligence, spontaneity and other such human qualities.> because having read most of his philosophical work I cannot find any evidence whatsoever that he held such a view at all. On the contrary, La Mettrie was a radically monistic, materialistic naturalist.
Inline references
Does the tag at the top of the page really make sense now? It seems like there are now several citations within the article. JustinBlank (talk) 19:36, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
