Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gilbert Ryle proposed the term "category mistake" to criticize the dualist view that treats the mind as a separate entity from the body, and coined the epithet "ghost in the machine" to express the absurdity of this idea. Princess Elisabeth of Bohemia, René Descartes, and John Locke were all prominent philosophers, but they did not use this particular epithet.
