What is your "AHA MOMENT" as you read and do the

learning tasks in the module?

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.
