Cā;
1. Ryle has very little idea of mechanism, and therefore doesn't make
any real mechanistic explanations as straw men.
2. We can show that many of the notions that Ryle thinks he has
proved meaningless by linguistic arguments can be realized in purely
mechanistic systems - specifically computer programs.
3. Dispositional definitions lose precisely because they don't postulate
internal states and mechanisms.
