G. Ryle explains that believing that the mind and the body belong to the same category, leads to the mistake of thinking that mechanistic laws that are known to govern interaction between physical bodies must have some counterpart (must somehow be also applicable to) mental processes, and also govern the relation between metal processes and physical ones. Example:-My thought that I am thirsty causes my willing to drink. (mental-to-mental)-My will causes my hand to move. (mental-to--physical)-My hand causes the cup to move. (physical-to-physical) This chain of causation (deterministic laws of interaction) lead to all of the following irresolvable problems, except:a. How to explain the physical world in terms of deterministic laws of cause-effect. b. How to account for moral responsibility when every interaction occurs under rigid laws of cause-effect (note that I have to be the cause of my actions, or I cannot be held responsible or praised for them).c. How freedom of the will fits in a chain of cause-effect relations. d. How to explain mental process in less-than-rigid (allowing for exceptions) mechanistic laws in order to make room for freedom of the will but not losethe causal determination (or I lose responsibility or merit for action I could not have caused)

Marian recently made the decision to try to re-wallpaper her own kitchen—which was a mistake given her personality! to compound the mistake, she selected a complex wallpaper pattern that included flowers and trees. each time she put one strip of paper on the wall, she became increasingly upset if there was not a perfect match from the pattern of one strip to the next. if one flower was off by as much as one-tenth of an inch, she would tear down the strip, remove the excess paste, and try again with the next strip. over eight hours after she started this job, she has only succeeded at putting up six strips of wallpaper, which covered about 10 percent of the room in which she was working. marian may suffer from personality disorder.
