Taylor & Francis Ltd What Responsibility Whose Responsibility
This book is an enquiry into the meaning and nature of collective responsibility. It analyses the moral culpability of collective entities implicated in some of the most pressing contemporary ethical issues, including institutional injustice, corporate scams, organized crimes, gang wars, genocide, xenophobia, and other group-based violence. It asks: Who is responsible when a collective is (held) responsible? Is collective responsibility merely a façon de parler, a rhetorical way of talking about individual moral responsibility, or is it more than that? Using some of the latest resources from the philosophy of action, philosophy of mind, and social ontology, the author develops a nuanced non-individualist position with the help of a concept of collective agency. He interprets collective responsibility as the responsibility of a collective without either reducing it to the responsibility of the individual members or making it a case where their moral positions become blurred. <

Taylor & Francis Words of Power
Book SynopsisOriginally published in 1990. A common complaint of philosophers, and men in general, has been that women are illogical. On the other hand, rationality, defined as the ability to follow logical argument, is often claimed to be a defining characteristic of man. Andrea Nye undermines assumptions such as: logic is unitary, logic is independent of concrete human relations, logic transcends historical circumstances as well as gender. In a series of studies of the logics of historical figures Parmenides, Plato, Aristotle, Zeno, Abelard, Ockham, and Frege she traces the changing interrelationships between logical innovation and oppressive speech strategies, showing that logic is not transcendent truth but abstract forms of language spoken by men, whether Greek ruling citizens, imperial administrators, church officials, or scientists. She relates logical techniques, such as logical division, syllogisms, and truth functions, to ways in which those with power speak to and about those subject Table of ContentsPrologue.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Biological Mind
Book SynopsisFor some, biology explains all there is to know about the mind. Yet many big questions remain: Is the mind shaped by genes or the environment? If mental traits are the result of adaptations built up over thousands of years, as evolutionary psychologists claim, how can such claims be tested? If the mind is a machine, as biologists argue, how does it allow for something as complex as human thought?Revised and updated to take account of new developments in the field, The Biological Mind: A Philosophical Introduction explores these questions and more, using the philosophy of biology to introduce and assess the nature of the mind. Justin Garson addresses the following key topics: moral psychology, altruism, and levels of selection; evolutionary psychology and the adaptationism debate; genes, environment, and the naturenurture debate; natural selection and mental representation; psychiatric classification and the maTrade ReviewPraise for the first edition: 'In this introductory volume, Garson offers a concise summary of several debates surrounding the interface between philosophy of biology and philosophy of mind. … Written with admirable clarity and wit, this book would make a great secondary text in an upper-level philosophy of biology or philosophy of mind course. Summing Up: Recommended.' - Philip Jenkins, CHOICE 'In this accessible and interesting book, Justin Garson shows why philosophy matters to understanding the biology of the mind. Scientists have made great progress on questions about altruism, free will, consciousness, and the impact of genes on mental activity, but it takes a philosopher to provide the needed clarification, connection, and caution. Garson is that philosopher.' - Elliott Sober, University of Wisconsin - Madison, USA 'A wonderful, clear, lively, informative, and extremely accessible book. It is a terrific introduction to the philosophy of mind for those who want to explore the relation between our biological and psychological natures.' - Karen Neander, Duke University, USA 'A wide-ranging, well-informed, and highly readable introduction to current debates in the philosophy of mind and psychology, presented through the lens of philosophy of biology and general philosophy of science. Garson's biologically oriented approach to the issues makes so much sense, one can't help but wonder why it's not more standard in the literature; by rights, it should be.' - Philip Robbins, University of Missouri, USA Table of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Fanon Phenomenology and Psychology
Book SynopsisFanon, Phenomenology, and Psychology is the first edited collection dedicated to exploring the explicitly phenomenological foundations underlying Frantz Fanonâs most important insights. Featuring contributions from many of the worldâs leading scholars on Fanon, this volume foregrounds a series of crucial phenomenological topics â inclusive of the domains of experience, structure, embodiment, and temporality â pertaining to the analysis and interrogation of racism and anti-Blackness. Chapters highlight and expand Fanonâs ongoing importance to the discipline of psychology while opening compelling new perspectives on psychopathology, decolonial praxis, racialized time, whiteness, Black subjectivity, the racial ontologizing of the body, systematic structures of racism and resulting forms of trauma, Black Consciousness, and Africana phenomenology. In an era characterized by resurgent forms of anti-Blackness and racism, this book is essential reading for students, scholars, and activists who remain inspired by Fanonâs legacy. Trade Review"Remarkable for its scope and acuity, impressively lucid and well informed, this book successfully locates Fanon in an established phenomenological tradition. In the process, it fundamentally alters the way we read the Martinican psychiatrist's oeuvre. Its succession of incisive and persuasive essays will quickly become a source for debate, elaboration, or contention." — Achille Mbembe, author of Necropolitics"After the post-Floyd summer of 2020, the global significance of race, racism, and ongoing anti-Blackness in particular has become impossible to deny, underlining the continuing, indeed enhanced, relevance of the imperishable texts of Frantz Fanon. This invaluable collection brings together new and classic analyses that should consolidate Fanon’s stature both as a founder of ‘critical’ phenomenology and a pathbreaker in the theorization of an anti-essentialist, politically informed and socially contextualized, human psychology." — Charles Mills, author of The Racial Contract and Black Rights/White Wrongs: The Critique of Racial Liberalism...? "On a foray for love, theorists/psychologists edited this excellent collection, Fanon, Phenomenology, and Psychology. Anchored with a beautiful introduction, this book honors an ancestor who was and remains ‘as much psychiatrist as revolutionary.’ As we struggle for self-possession and protection from varied forms of lynching and disappearance, we can find respite here, and deep engagement with the language of struggle and liberation." — Joy James, editor of Imprisoned Intellectuals and author of Seeking the Beloved Community"Urgent, necessary, all-too-timely, Fanon, Phenomenology, and Psychology offers us not one but multiple Fanons for this contemporary moment. Within its pages we meet Fanon the psychiatrist, Fanon the phenomenologist, Fanon the freedom fighter and activist, Fanon the chronicler of colonialism, Fanon the diagnostician of racism, Fanon the theorist of time. The cumulative power and promise of the essays gathered here cannot be over-stated. This is just a dazzlingly exciting adventure in reading and thinking." — Ann Pellegrini, author of Performance Anxieties: Staging Psychoanalysis, Staging Race"This ‘must read’ volume, edited by three phenomenological psychologists, claims Frantz Fanon’s right place at the gateway to critical and decolonial phenomenological psychologies. The book’s chapters, written by world renowned Fanon scholars, make clear Fanon’s importance for critiquing the whiteness of Eurocentric depth psychologies, while opening potential pathways to transdisciplinary psychologies of liberation that begin—as they must—with the racism that sustains coloniality." — Mary Watkins, author of Mutual Accompaniment and the Creation of the Commons and co-author of Toward Psychologies of Liberation"What more relevant text for our troubled times of racialised pandemic, Black Lives Matter mobilisations after the murder of George Floyd and the storming by White supremacists of Capitol Hill? In this volume, Fanon’s contributions to and as phenomenology are explicated, assessed and shown to be unique and vital (in multiple senses). This bumper collection of new, specially written and classic papers on Fanon underscore why and how we need Fanon now, to think and rethink racialisation, embodiment and action." — Erica Burman, author of Fanon, Education, Action: Fanon as Method"Whether in the bottom of slave ships, the streets of North America, or within the context of a global Blackness, we are painfully aware of the indelible cries of Black bodies: ‘I can't breathe!’ That cry, that lament, speaks to an anti-Black world within which Frantz Fanon had higher hopes, where he desired to move with effortless grace and help to build the world together, but was constantly denied. Yet, Fanon knew that his racialized predicament, his deep alienation, was ‘not an individual question.’ Fanon, Phenomenology, and Psychology, interdisciplinary at its core, and at times even de-disciplinary, is a discursively diverse text that not only reminds us of the deep significance of Fanon's contestation of disciplinary purity or methodological fetishization, but it is a text that uncovers the persistent haunting reality of sociogenic anti-Black racism, where the Black body remains accused, where amputations and excisions are experienced, where the Black body is rendered ‘an object among other objects,’ where Black life continues to be disposable, fungible, and ungrievable. This critically engaging and urgent text that you hold, one that refuses to reduce the complexity of Fanon and his corpus to a singular conceptual orientation, and one that therefore recognizes the generativity of reading Fanon through multiple and overlapping frameworks, especially psychology and phenomenology, demonstrates the revolutionary force of Fanon's work for our contemporary mourning and his aspirations for a new humanism that refuses 'to accept the present as definitive.’" — George Yancy, author of Backlash: What Happens When We Talk Honestly About Race in AmericaTable of ContentsIntroduction: Of Bodies That Matter: Fanon, Phenomenology, and Psychology; Part I: Situating Fanon’s Phenomenology; 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Ethical Visions of Psychotherapy
Book SynopsisThe standard view of psychotherapy as a treatment for mental disorders can obscure how therapy functions as a social practice that promotes conceptions of human well-being. Building on the philosophy of Charles Taylor, Smith examines the link between therapy and ethics, and the roots of therapeutic aims in modern Western ideas about living well.This is one of two complementary volumes (the other being Therapeutic Ethics in Context and in Dialogue). This volume explores the links between therapeutic aims and conceptions of well-being. It examines several cognitive-behavioral and psychoanalytic therapies to illustrate how they can be distinguished by their divergent ethics. Smith argues that because research utilizing standard measures of efficacy shows little difference between the therapies, the assessment of their relative merits must include evaluation of their distinct ethical visions.A key text for upper level undergraduates, postgraduate students,Trade Review"The Ethical Visions of Psychotherapy is a much-needed contemporary analysis of the ways in which psychotherapy is inextricably tied to visions of optimal human functioning, of flourishing, of what makes life worth living, of the good life. Kevin Smith insightfully undercovers these implicit ethical assumptions even in those psychotherapeutic approaches that are purportedly nothing but technical applications of scientific findings. The book is thus an invitation to the often-neglected task of exploring how ethical and psychological strands interweave in psychotherapy." -- Alan Tjeltveit, Professor of Psychology, Muhlenberg College, author of Ethics and Values in Psychotherapy"All too often our contemporary landscapes, be they international, national, social, ethnic, or professional, are torn asunder by relentless divisiveness and claims of rightness and superiority. Among the varied approaches to psychotherapeutic efforts, while the diversity of disciplines could well foster mutual learning and maturation, far too often the advocates of these models collapse into divisiveness and competitions that impoverish our opportunities to learn from one another. In these two volumes, Kevin Smith places ethics at the heart of these professional debates, examining and critiquing the values that divergent models of psychotherapy hold, both explicitly and implicitly, arguing that each represents a practice that promotes a particular vision of the good life. As a psychotherapist often drawn quite passionately into taking sides in these theory wars, I found in Smith’s book a quiet, deeply resourced perspective that allowed me to take a more reflective stance with regard to both the differences and the commonalities of contemporary models of psychotherapy. These books will be of great value to practitioners, researchers, scholars and teachers who value the reflective practice of the art, the science, and the philosophies of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy." -- William F. Cornell, author of Self-Examination in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy"Kevin Smith’s work is essential. Every single practitioner of psychotherapy should be familiar with Smith’s message, and should be aware of the issues it raises for their work, every moment of every day. Psychotherapy, Smith tells us, is not a technical exercise in the amelioration of problems. The aims and conduct of psychotherapy are not adequately described or measured in the terms of evidence-based practice. Every aspect of psychotherapy, from the way problems are defined to the means by which they are addressed, is an expression, often inadvertent, of what we believe makes life good. Psychotherapy of every variety is a social practice, and like all such practices, it promotes an ethic. Whether they are used to thinking of their work as an ethical endeavor or not, all psychotherapists spend their entire professional lives influencing those with whom they work to live in certain ways and not in others. Psychotherapists are far too little aware of what is, after all, the very (ethical) ground under their feet.Smith’s two books should be assigned in every psychotherapy training program, and should be required reading for those who have finished formal training, regardless of their theoretical orientation (yes, I do mean to include the entire spectrum, from psychoanalysis to CBT) or the profession of its matriculants. Psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, counselors, clergy, psychiatric nurses, marriage and family therapists—all really do need to think through the issues presented here." -- Donnel B. Stern, Ph.D., William Alanson White Institute, author of The Infinity of the Unsaid"The Ethical Visions of Psychotherapy is a much-needed contemporary analysis of the ways in which psychotherapy is inextricably tied to visions of optimal human functioning, of flourishing, of what makes life worth living, of the good life.
