The document describes the learner's "AHA moment" while studying a lesson on Gilbert Ryle. They realized that Ryle believed the self is a pattern of behavior, contradicting Cartesian dualism, and supported a behaviorist theory of mind. The learner also discovered Ryle's focus on conceptual clarity over manipulation in logical behaviorism, as well as learning about Ryle's phrase "ghost in the machine" and idea of a "category mistake".

Your "AHA Moment" could be your realization or new
discoveries or new learning that makes you say, "AHA, now I know!" Write it here below: My "AHA Moment" while studying this lesson is that I found out that Gilbert Ryle believed that the self is just a pattern of behavior. He strongly contradicts Cartesian Mind/Body Dualism which was believed by the previous philosophers, and he supported a behaviorist theory of the mind. I also learned about his logical behaviorism which focused on creating conceptual clarity, and not on developing techniques to condition and manipulate human behavior. Also, I learned about his phrase "ghost in the machine" which is unsound and conflicts directly with our everyday life. In this lesson, I also learned about the term " category mistake" which means representing facts or concepts as if they belonged in one logical category when they actually belong in another.
