"The Ghost in the Machine" is a philosophical concept that originated from the writings of British philosopher Gilbert Ryle in his 1949 book "The Concept of Mind." Ryle used the phrase to critique Cartesian dualism, which posits a strict separation between mind and body. In this context, the "ghost" represents the mind or consciousness, while the "machine" refers to the physical body.
