My new book is now available, it is open access. I portray psychiatric diagnoses as being scientific despite not being natural kinds. I seek a middle ground between realism and constructivism by drawing upon various Kantian thinkers, especially Cassirer. #Philsci #Philpsy #Psychiatry #STS #Philsky

In Defence of Psychiatric Diagnoses
This open access book defends psychiatric diagnoses by portraying them as idealised models understood in a neo-Kantian sense.

It's interesting how all the people who complain about how disabilities or illnesses have become identities seem fine with people identifying as well, healthy, or normal. I think if anything there is a much larger identity politics of this latter sort.

This is important work towards the better integration of phenomenological and predictive coding approaches of primary delusions. Imo follow-up needed with phenomenologically more sensitive measures and theoretical work on application counterfactual learning to explain sense of reality.
