Abstract

Metaphysical realism about mental disorder is the thesis that mental disorder exists mind-independently. There are two ways to challenge metaphysical realism about mental disorder. The first is by denying that mental disorder exists. The second is by denying that mental disorder exists mind-independently. Or, differently put, by arguing that mental disorder is mind-dependent. The aim of this paper is three-fold: (a) to examine three ways in which mental disorder can be said to be mind-dependent (namely, by being causally dependent on the human mind, by being weakly dependent on human attitudes, and by being strongly dependent on human attitudes), (b) to clarify their differences, and (c) to discuss their implications regarding metaphysical realism about mental disorder. I argue that mental disorder being mind-dependent in the first two senses is compatible with metaphysical realism about mental disorder, whereas mental disorder being mind-dependent in the third sense is not.

精神病理学与形而上学:能否成为精神障碍的现实主义者?
关于精神障碍的形而上学现实主义是指精神障碍的存在与思维无关。挑战关于精神障碍的形而上学现实主义有两种方法。第一种是否认精神障碍的存在。第二种方法是否认精神障碍独立于思想而存在。或者换一种说法,认为精神障碍是依赖于心智的。本文的目的有三:(a) 探讨精神障碍依赖于心灵的三种方式(即因果依赖于人的心灵、弱依赖于人的态度和强依赖于人的态度),(b) 澄清它们之间的区别,(c) 讨论它们对精神障碍形而上学现实主义的影响。我认为,前两种意义上的精神障碍依赖于心灵与关于精神障碍的形而上学现实主义是一致的,而第三种意义上的精神障碍依赖于心灵则不一致。

期刊介绍: This bimonthly publication explores the shared themes and concerns of philosophy and the medical sciences. Central issues in medical research and practice have important philosophical dimensions, for, in treating disease and promoting health, medicine involves presuppositions about human goals and values. Conversely, the concerns of philosophy often significantly relate to those of medicine, as philosophers seek to understand the nature of medical knowledge and the human condition in the modern world. In addition, recent developments in medical technology and treatment create moral problems that raise important philosophical questions. The Journal of Medicine and Philosophy aims to provide an ongoing forum for the discussion of such themes and issues.
