Overview
Presented by the Faculty of Philosophy and the Department for
Continuing Education, this event will explore the areas in
which the philosophy of mind and ethics or the philosophy of
value come into contact with issues about mental health.
Philosophy of psychiatry includes within its ambit questions
about the nature of mental disorder as distinct from purely
neurological disorder, questions about the psychological
conditions required for moral responsibility and legal
culpability, and questions about the appropriate kinds of
explanations that can be provided for mental disorder.
Addressing these questions requires drawing on the resources of
many branches of philosophy, including legal philosophy,
ethical theory and philosophy of value, philosophy of science,
and philosophy of mind and psychology.
