L'Encephale December 1, 2021 H Bottemanne, A Chevance, L Joly
Philosophy of mind, a rapidly growing field that has merged with cognitive science, addresses foundational questions about mental states, cognition, and their relation to the world. It provides a conceptual framework for generating theories in cognitive science by integrating philosophical concepts with neuroscientific data. However, psychiatry has been slow to adopt insights from philosophy of mind, relying only on fragments emerging from neuroscience. This paper describes the evolution of contemporary philosophy of mind and details its contributions to psychiatry around three central themes: naturalization of mind, mental causality, and subjectivity of mental states. It shows how philosophy of mind links different levels of explanation in psychiatry, from biology to function, neurophysiology to cognition, and matter to mind.
