  • Alienation and identification in addiction

    Philip GerransARTICLEPhilosophical Psychology2024

    A recent strand in the philosophical literature on addiction emphasizes problems with diachronic self-control. Hanna Pickard, for example, argues that an important aspect of addiction consists in inability to identify with a non-addicted future self. This literature sits alongside another that treats addiction as the product of neural changes that "hijack" mechanisms of reward prediction, habit formation decision making and cognitive control. Thi…

  • A vessel without a pilot: Bodily and affective experience in the Cotard delusion of inexistence

    Open AccessPhilip GerransARTICLEMind & Language2023

    The initial cause of Cotard delusion is pervasive dyshomeostasis (dysregulation of basic bodily function).This explanation draws on interoceptive active inference account of self‐representation. In this framework, the self is an hierarchical predictive model made by the brain to facilitate homeostatic regulation. The account I provide is an alternative to two factor accounts of the Cotard delusion that treat depersonalisation experience as the fi…

We argue that the interaction of several domain-general mechanisms and lower-level domain-specific mechanisms accounts for the flexibility and sophistication of behavior, which has been taken …

  • Tacit knowledge, rule following and Pierre Bourdieu's philosophy of social science

    Open AccessPhilip GerransARTICLEAnthropological Theory2005Cited by: 10References: 19

    Pierre Bourdieu has developed a philosophy of social science, grounded in the phenomenological tradition, which treats knowledge as a practical ability embodied in skilful behaviour, rather than an intellectual capacity for the representation and manipulation of propositional knowledge. He invokes Wittgenstein's remarks on rule-following as one way of explicating the idea that knowledge is a skill. Bourdieu's conception of tacit knowledge is a di…
