Description

Psychiatry and Philosophy of Science examines the conceptual foundations of psychiatric science through rigorous analytic philosophy. Rachel Cooper investigates the distinctive features that set psychiatry apart from other scientific disciplines, including its contested definitions of mental illness, varied explanatory frameworks, multiple theoretical approaches, and commercial research partnerships. The book addresses fundamental conceptual, metaphysical, and epistemological questions that emerge from psychiatric practice and research. Cooper demonstrates how these philosophical challenges reshape our understanding of psychiatric knowledge and methodology, offering valuable insights for both philosophers of science and mental health professionals seeking to understand the theoretical underpinnings of their field. This Routledge publication bridges the gap between scientific inquiry and philosophical analysis, making it essential reading for anyone interested in the philosophical foundations of psychiatry.
