porary Philosophy of Religion, (ed.) Steven M
Chan & David Shatz, Oxford, University Press,

The appeal to custom means to be quite prominent

in the works of later-Wittgenstein. His argument
against the possibility of a private language,
the notion of rules, form of life etc., are to
a great extent explained by him by appealing
to what is accepted as convention in society.
The various conventions for a custom that is de-
termined by the meaning of a given thing. Appeal-
ing to custom should be thus, distinguished from
i t s empirical-sociological dimension. The present
reference to custom is thus meant in the above
philosophical sense.

14. We may note Ryle, being radical behaviourist

holds an extreme doctrine where even mental
activities and mental verbs are described by
physical activities and physicalistic vocabulary
Similarly Peter Strawson seeks to resolve the

mind-body dicothemy of the Cartesians by appeal-
ing to the concept of person. For him the con-
cept of 'person' is a primitive category which
incorporates both body and mind or to it we
can ascribe both 'M' predicate (material object
predicate) 'P' predicate (personal predicates)
to use his own expression. Ref• Individuals,
