thanks, I hadn't seen this book yet! I have lots of thoughts on this actually, let's chat one day :) (short answer, I don't think it is a counter-example per se, but I think it's real interesting nonetheless)

Free in August and looking for a way to do even more philosophy? 🤔 Juliette Vazard and I are organising a workshop on Climate, Emotion and Mental Health - deadline 4th of July! ✍️

Ah that might be tricky with the time difference, but in principle we are open to online presentations!

Marc Artiga, Peter Schulte & Nir Fresco, Some Proper Functions are Distal - PhilPapers

Check out this paper that I completely agree with: @marcartiga.bsky.social, @peterschulte.bsky.social & Nir Fresco argue against @harrif.bsky.social and Justin Garson's thesis that proper functions must be proximal functions.

Reposting this text from last year again jeppssonphilosopherauthor.blogspot.com/2023/08/anti... inspired by @rwillowfish.bsky.social . There's plenty to criticize within or related to psychiatry. But also lots of problematic stuff within common criticisms.
