Philosophie und Psychiatrie teilen viele Problemfelder und Fragestellungen. So zeitigen z.B. die "Lösungen" der Psychiatrie des philosophischen Leib-Seele-Problems direkte Auswirkungen auf das Selbstverständnis der Disziplin. Trotz dieser offensichtlichen Überschneidungen wurde im Vergleich zum angelsächsischen Sprachraum in Deutschland bislang wenig interdisziplinäre Forschung zur "philosophischen Psychopathologie" betrieben. Die vorliegende Anthologie schließt diese Lücke, denn die Autoren - sowohl ausgewiesene Fachleute als auch junge Wissenschaftler, die mit neuen Ansätzen zukunftsträchtige Perspektiven eröffnen - kommen aus beiden Disziplinen. Die einzelnen Beiträge setzen sich mit philosophischen Debatten auseinander, wie sie sich im Kontext psychiatrischer Theorie und Praxis ergeben.

Philosophy and psychiatry share many topics and problems. For example, the "solutions" of the psychiatry of the philosophical body-soul problem have direct effects on the self-image of the discipline. Despite these obvious overlappings, and unlike the English-speaking countries, interdisciplinary research on "philosophical psychopathology" has been scarce in Germany. The current anthology closes these gaps, because the authors - renowned experts as well as young scientists, whose new approaches open promising perspectives - come from both disciplines. The individual contributions deal with philosophical debates as they arise within the context of psychiatric theory and practice.
