Investigating Psychology: Sciences of the Mind After Wittgenstein

John Hyman

@awaisaftab I’d urge anyone interested to read Heil’s paper “Does cognitive psychology rest on a mistake” and various chapters in John Hyman’s (ed) “Investigating Psychology” as a way into these debates.

Faith, Hope and Carnage

Nick Cave
Richard GippsRichard Gipps

The touch of a hand in a time of grief... I’m reading Nick Cave’s “Faith, Hope and Carnage”. There’s many touching moments in it. His voice is replete with moral seriousness: you get the sense he’s always trying to tell the truth (it’s not as easy as it sounds, that). An extract:

A Common Humanity: Thinking about Love and Truth and Justice

Raimond Gaita
Richard GippsRichard Gipps

I’ve been thinking recently about who I find most emblematic of moral depth. For me, Rai Gaita is one of its champions. This talk from 2015 is really good. Raimond Gaita on a Common Humanity (Melbourne Writers Festival 2015) https://t.co/idZWNnEOqO via @YouTube

The Last Asylum: A Memoir of Madness in Our Times

Barbara Taylor
Richard GippsRichard Gipps

@bitesizetherapy Reminds me of a lovely bit from Barbara Taylor’s “The Last Asylum”: “When did I finally begin to hear him? Was it that morning? Had it been the morning a few weeks earlier, when I had laughed with pleasure at an interpretation? Had part of me always heard him?…

Psychotherapy for Psychosis: Integrating Cognitive-Behavioral and Psychodynamic Treatment

@MaxSpikeAl @MarkLRuffalo If I may weigh in, I found Marguerite Sechehaye’s work on Symbolic Realisation helpful. Also Richard Lucas on The Psychotic Wavelength, Marcus Evans’s book Making Room for Madness ch 5, and most recently, Michael Garrett’s Psychotherapy for Psychosis ch 4.

The Entangled Brain: How Perception, Cognition, and Emotion Are Woven Together

Luiz Pessoa

I’ve just started a book about “The Entangled Brain” - and fallen at the very first sentence. No doubt it’s a good book! No doubt I’m fussy as hell! But here at least is what happens when philosophers read neuroscience…

@OnNegation IMO a truly elucidatory philosophy of life is contained in Michael Thompson’s "Life and Action”. Much of this work is available for free online e.g. https://t.co/Z3WBGZfy8V https://t.co/Ldig1XedFf

When Words Are Called for: A Defense of Ordinary Language Philosophy

Avner Baz
Richard GippsRichard Gipps

@DrDSThomas The best recent work is “When Words Are Called For” by Avner Baz. I also recommend Cavell’s “Must We Mean What We Say” (https://t.co/6WzVFR8E5F). But they ARE philosophically demanding; nothing more introductory comes to mind.
