For thinkers grappling with life's tough choices

Clarifies false dilemmas and conflicting beliefs

You will gain insight into everyday decision-making

Dilemmas by Gilbert Ryle explores life's conflicts and choices.

Common sense tells me I can control my life to some extent; should I then, faced with a logical argument for fatalism, reject common sense? There seems to be no place in a physical theory of the universe for the sensory experiences of colours, taste and smells, yet I know I have these experiences. In this book, Gilbert Ryle explores the conflicts which arise in everyday life and shows that the either/or which such dilemmas seem to suggest is a false dilemma: one side of the dilemma does not deny what we know to be true on the other side. This classic book has been revived in a new series livery for twenty-first-century readers, featuring a specially commissioned Preface written by Barry Stroud.
