Depression And Moral Health: A Response To The Commentary, Mike W. Martin

Philosophy Faculty Articles and Research

S. Nassir Ghaemi tells us that whereas "neurologists are sometimes accused of admiring disease rather than treating it," psychiatrists seek to cure disease even when they do not understand it. At the same time, he notes that Freud had both theoretical and practical interests that occasionally point in different directions, and psychiatrists have learned that theoretical understanding of the sources of suffering does not always translate directly into useful clinical practice. For their part, philosophers are often criticized for indulging in armchair speculation that yields neither empirical understanding nor practical efficacy. Writing as a philosopher in "Depression: Illness, Insight, and …

Richmond Lattimore's translation renders the ensuing scene in these words: "Now Odysseus I was sitting close to the fire, but suddenly turned to the dark side; I for presently he thought in his heart that, as she handled him, / she might be aware of his scar, and all his story might …
