The Ghost In The Machine


Yes, another medical slide, and to my untrained eye it appears to be a torso / spine.

The post's title just came to me in a flash, and it's worth having a read of the Wikipedia article. The title is a phrase coined by the Oxford philosopher Gilbert Ryle to describe the Cartesian dualist account of the mind–body relationship. Koestler shares with Ryle the view that the mind of a person is not an independent non-material entity, temporarily inhabiting and governing the body.

It's also an Album by The Police, which has my fave track of theirs.
