Cognitive neuropsychiatry January 1, 2022 Sam Wilkinson, Huw Green, Stephanie Hare et al. 8 citations
Philosophy contributes to hallucinations research in three distinct ways. Phenomenology provides a sophisticated, critical understanding of the lived experience of hallucinations. Philosophy of cognitive science enables big-picture theorizing, synthesis of ideas, and critical engagement with new paradigms. Philosophy of science and psychiatry raises theoretically informed questions about diagnosis and categorization. These contributions reflect philosophy's methodological variety and its relevance to hallucinations researchers.
