Clarifying the muddle
Cognitive biases are widely discussed in the medical literature as systematic deviations from rational judgment and as significant contributors to diagnostic error. However, the prevailing view of cognitive biases as inherently epistemically detrimental may be challenged by recent research highlighting their potential utility. In this paper, we argue that the impact of cognitive biases in medicine depends not only on their internal cognitive stru…
Is externalism really a threat to biological psychiatry
Wherein is the concept of disease normative? From weak normativity to value-conscious naturalism
In this paper we focus on some new normativist positions and compare them with traditional ones. In so doing, we claim that if normative judgments are involved in determining whether a condition is a disease only in the sense identified by new normativisms, then disease is normative only in a weak sense, which must be distinguished from the strong sense advocated by traditional normativisms. Specifically, we argue that weak and strong normativity…
The DSM-5 introduction of the Social (Pragmatic) Communication Disorder as a new mental disorder
The latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) included the Social (Pragmatic) Communication Disorder (SPCD) as a new mental disorder characterized by deficits in pragmatic abilities. Although the introduction of SPCD in the psychiatry nosography depended on a variety of reasons—including bridging a nosological gap in the macro-category of Communication Disorders—in the last few years researchers have iden…
Covid-19 and ageing
Covid-19 as the underlying cause of death
The concept of disease in the time of Covid-19
Philosophers of medicine have formulated different accounts of the concept of disease. Which concept of disease one assumes has implications for what conditions count as diseases and, by extension, who may be regarded as having a disease (disease judgements) and for who may be accorded the social privileges and personal responsibilities associated with being sick (sickness judgements). In this article, we consider an ideal diagnostic test for cor…

Meta-Philosophical Reflection on Feminist Philosophies of Science
Underdetermination and Theory-Ladenness Against Impartiality
The aim of this paper is to show that science, understood as pure research, ought not to be affected by non-epistemic values and thus to defend the traditional ideal of value-free science. First, we will trace the distinction between science and technology, arguing that science should be identified with pure research and that any non-epistemic concern should be directed toward technology and technological research. Second, we will examine differ…
Triangulation
Concepts Within the Model of Triangulation
In Davidson’s opinion, the model of triangulation, which is a situation where two or more sufficiently similar interacting creatures respond to one another within a shared external environment, can give explanation to how concepts and mental contents are acquired and also clarify their very nature. In this paper, I will explore the model of triangulation, its various levels, and its specific role in concept acquisition. I will then assess the pla…
