中文摘要

本文以非生物醫學的用語來界定精神疾病或精神失調的存有學,其中包含有問題的命題性精神內容,而非生物體的腦部機能障礙。這樣一來,可以把精神失調的因果理論定位在存在困境的範圍裡,而非生物病理學,並且違背了對於以治療精神異常的藥物來減緩精神痛苦之必要性提出辯護的論證。反而支持精神失調可以藉由哲學得到治療──就算不能治癒──的論證。

英文摘要

This essay defines the ontology of mental illness or mental disorder in non-biomedical terms, as consisting of problematic propositional mental content rather than organic brain malfunction. This allows for a causal theory of mental disorder to be located within the parameters of existential difficulties rather than biological pathology, and contradicts the arguments made in defense of the necessity of psychotropic medications for the alleviation of mental distress. This in turn supports the argument that mental disorders can be treated, if not cured, by means of philosophy.
