With Luigi Grassi https://www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/10.4324/9781003288992-15/delusions-across-beyond-diagnoses-luigi-grassi-lisa-bortolotti On #delusions across and beyond diagnoses @philosophyofpsychiatry @philosophy @psychiatry

In the Q&A at #ConsPath1 several points were raised: are testimonial processes in (shared) #delusions really abnormal? is the problem that we #trust in-groups too much or that the in-group is too small? how do we square testimony with the self-referential qualities of delusions?

Now at #ConsPath1 Kengo Miyazono discusses the role of #testimony in determining whether conspiracy theories are pathological: are delusions pathological? if so, what makes them pathological? are conspiracy beliefs similar in a relevant way to #delusions?

Second day of #ConsPath1 starts with the workshop organisers
Anna Ichino and Ema Sullivan-Bissett presenting on #ConspiracyTheories, #delusions, and #psychopathology, highlighting overlap between conspiracy beliefs and delusions @philosophy @philosophyofmind @philosophyofpsychiatry
