| Abstract | "'Philosophical Perspectives on Psychedelic Psychiatry' addresses the fascinating philosophical questions raised by the renewed psychiatric use of psychedelics, with chapters from leading philosophers of mind, science, and psychiatry centred around three main themes. Chapters in the "self and mind" section ask: what can we learn about the self and the mind from psychedelic science? Chapters in the "science and psychiatry" section address methodological, theoretical, and clinical questions concerning how psychedelics can best be studied scientifically and used therapeutically, and how they might work to relieve psychiatric suffering. Finally, chapters in the "ethics and spirituality" section address broader questions about the interpretation of psychedelic experience, its ethical implications, and its possible role(s) in the broader culture"-- Provided by publisher. |
