De Menselijke Persoon in De Filosofie Van Ryle En Strawson

Abstract

Ryle's interest is to get rid of the traditional, 'official' myth about the relation between body and mind. strawson develops his concept of a person within the framework of the conditions of possibility for identifying reference. the ultimate condition is formed by a unified spatio-temporal structure, in which material bodies and persons are 'basic particulars'. comparing ryle and strawson on a few general points we have to say that certain important steps in the argument of strawson are also present in ryle's thought 'in statu nascendi', whereas the radical difference can be found in their respective conceptual approach towards human action.
