Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Gold and Olin (2009) claim that the widespread use of antidepressants is a problem and that neither philosophy nor psychiatry are in a position to provide the conceptual and scientific tools to understand, characterize and, ultimately, solve it. While we agree with their analysis of the problem and the shortcomings of psychiatry to address it, we disagree with their pessimistic assessment of the actual standing of analytical philosophy to do so: we think that the prospects for conceptual help from mainstream Anglo-American philosophy are much more promising than they allow in their paper and we aim to show how this is so. |
