On the 3rd of June 2016 the conference “Does the philosophy of psychiatry need metaphysics” took place in Lancaster town centre at the Story Institute.<\/p>\n

Much recent work in the philosophy of psychiatry has presupposed some metaphysical framework or other (eg pragmatism, realism, a McDowellian or Wittgensteinian approach). This conference brings together the authors of a number of influential recent books to consider the extent to which work in the philosophy of psychiatry requires the assumption of a metaphysical framework. The following papers were presented.<\/p>\n

Peter Zachar (University of Auburn at Montgomery) ‘Empiricism, pragmatist metaphysics and philosophy of psychiatry’<\/p>\n

Rachel Cooper (University of Lancaster) ‘Classification: Realism versus pragmatism’<\/p>\n

Derek Bolton (Kings College London & Institute for Psychiatry)’ Localising metaphysics: continuities with science and culture’<\/p>\n

Tim Thornton (University of Central Lancashire) ‘The manifest metaphysics of Essential Philosophy of Psychiatry<\/em><\/p>\n

John O’Neill (Manchester University) ‘Commentary’<\/p>\n

Audio files of the first four presentations can be found in the Materials<\/a> section of this website.<\/p>\n

This conference was funded by the British Society for the Philosophy of Science, and by the department of Politics, Philosophy and Religion, Lancaster University<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
