Summary

"Delusions and delusional beliefs play an important and fascinating role in philosophy and are a particularly fertile area of study in recent years, spanning philosophy of mind and psychology, epistemology, mental disorder and cognitive science. The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Delusion explores the conceptual and philosophical issues in the study of delusion and is the first major reference source of its kind. Comprising 38 chapters by an international team of contributors, the Handbook is divided into six clear parts: The Nature of Delusion Delusion in Disorders Epistemology of Delusion Delusion's Place in the Mind Delusion Formation Responsibility, culture, and society. Within these sections key topics are discussed including theories of delusion and their philosophical aspects; schizophrenia, obsessive compulsive disorder and depression; evidence, rationality and epistemic injustice; imagination, self-deception, and dreaming; and delusions and moral responsibility, agency, and conspiracy theories. An outstanding resource for both students and researchers, The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Delusion is essential reading for those working on delusion in philosophy departments, and also suitable for those in related disciplines such as psychology, cognitive science and mental disorder"-- Provided by publisher.
