    Ryle attempted to define the concept of "feelings" which had not been well defined in psychology and psychiatry. He suggested feelings are distinguished by bodily or mental sensations. Ryle presented seven conceptions of feelings including sensory perception and general mental states. He also included idiomatic phrases using "feel" to show its figurative uses. While his analysis was thorough, Ryle omitted the common notion of feeling emotions like happy, sad or angry, weakening his definition, but his work still sparked ongoing debate about the nature of emotion.

    Sample Research Article Review

    British philosopher Gilbert Ryle attempted to define the seemingly straightforward concept of
    feelings in his 1951 essay.[1] During that time period, psychology and psychiatry had risen
    as popular fields, but little work had been done to actually define the components of an
    emotion or a feeling. Consequently, Ryle set out to establish some constrains on this
    nebulous subject by suggesting that feelings are distinguished by various bodily or mental
    sensations.

    In the first section of this article, Ryle presented seven distinct conceptions of feelings. It is
    clear that he put much contemplation in this presentation, for he named usages that would
    typically escape most people. He began with the common definition of feelings as sensory
    perception, but he distinguished between uncontrollable instinctual bodily responses (e.g.,
    feeling cold or feeling an itch) and purposeful, thought-out motions to find an object or
    determine something about an object (e.g., feeling water with ones fingers to figure out its
    temperature). In another definition, Ryle distinguished between feeling bodily sensations and
    feeling general conditions, such as sleepy, ill, wide-awake, uneasy, or depressed, deeming
    the latter to be more mental.
    Furthermore, Ryle included idiomatic phrases that incorporated conjugations of to feel to
    remind readers how easy it is to forget figurative usages of common words. Theres feeling
    that something is the case to express a gut inclination that is not yet strong enough to be
    held as an actual thought or belief. Theres also feeling like doing something to express the
    temptation one has to take an inappropriate action, such as falling asleep in class. These
    figurative or hypothetical uses of feelings are easily overlooked, so Ryles thoughtful
    inclusion brings useful philosophical insight for other researchers.
    In the second and final section of this paper, Ryle expanded upon the various definitions of
    feelings he advanced, discussing where the line blurred between each one. While his
    meticulous analysis is largely palatable, his omission of the common notion of feeling does
    not sit easily. In the entire article, he never mentions feeling an emotion, such as happy, sad,
    or angry. Whether this was an intentional omission or a sloppy oversight is unclear, but it
    weakens Ryles definition, as emotions are neither pure bodily states nor pure mental
    sensations, and he provides no preemptive response to such arguments. Nevertheless,
    Ryles work still provided the impetus for an ongoing debate about the nature of emotion.
