Resumen
LOPEZ-SILVA, Pablo. The Philosophical Relevance of the Study of Schizophrenia. Methodological and Conceptual Issues. rev.colomb.psiquiatr. [online]. 2014, vol.43, n.3, pp.168-174. ISSN 0034-7450. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rcp.2014.07.002.
The study of mental illness involves profound methodological and philosophical debates. This article explores the disciplinary complementarity, particularly, between philosophy of mind, phenomenology, and empirical studies in psychiatry and psychopathology in the context of the understanding of schizophrenia. After clarifying the possible role of these disciplines, it is explored the way in which a certain symptom of schizophrenia (thought insertion) challenges the current phenomenological approach to the relationship between consciousness and self-awareness. Finally, it is concluded that philosophy of mind, phenomenology, and empirical studies in psychiatry and psychopathology should, necessarily, regulate their progress jointly in order to reach plausible conclusions about what we call 'schizophrenia'.
