概要 | Despite the currency of the notion of mental illness, its legal and medical legitimacy, and the panoply of psychiatric and other mental health services claiming to treat it, there are those who take t...e radical sceptical line that mental illness is a fabrication. This is a book that takes this sceptical line seriously-perhaps more seriously than almost any other book not written by sceptics themselves. The Metaphor of Mental Illness is a revaluation of the traditional philosophical disputes about the existence and nature of mental illness. Sceptics and apologists have generally focused on the legitimacy of extending illness from the physical to the mental, by means of the likeness argument. This says that claimed mental illnesses, from ADHD to schizophrenia, really are illnesses providing they are sufficiently similar to agreed physical illnesses. This book proposes that this argument is flawed: the likenesses to which the argument appeals appear when these examples have been categorized as illnesses, rather than the categorization being evidenced by, or derived from, the likenesses. The categorization of ADHD, schizophrenia, and so on, as illnesses is a matter of metaphor: an imaginative shift into the illness category.続きを見る |
