Paperback. Condition: New. 1st. The question of whether mental disorders are disorders of the brain has led to a long-running and controversial dispute within psychiatry, psychology and philosophy of mind and psychology. While recent work in neuroscience frequently tries to identify underlying brain dysfunction in mental disorders, detractors argue that labelling mental disorders as brain disorders is reductive and can result in harmful social effects.This book brings a much-needed philosophical perspective to bear on this important question. Anneli Jefferson argues that while there is widespread agreement on paradigmatic cases of brain disorder such as brain cancer, Parkinson's or Alzheimer's dementia, there is far less clarity on what the general, defining characteristics of brain disorders are.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. We live in an increasingly unpredictable physical and social environment. Climate change, viral pandemics, wars, and mass migrations present significant challenges, while new technologies and media are transforming the ways we understand ourselves and think about our political situations. Which attitudes, skills, and values should we cultivate to enable us to respond well to the challenges of this changing world? The essays in this volume emphasise the importance of creativity, collaboration, understanding, and wisdom in dealing with one another and thinking about novel and unforeseen difficulties. Through better reasoning, we can reduce the influence of immediate responses and attune our responses to how the world really is and what really matters. The book aims to begin a conversation about how to foster better reasoning about new challenges through our education system, the structures of our organisations, the regulation of social-and- mass media, and the designs of buildings and urban spaces.
