The Capgras delusion: an integrated approach

摘要: Delusions are studied in two philosophical traditions: the continental or phenomenological tradition and Anglo-American analytic tradition. Each has its own view of delusions. Broadly stated, phenomenologists delusions as a disturbed experience whilst most researchers them beliefs. It is my contention that plausible account must ultimately incorporate valuable insights from both traditions. To illustrate potential value integration I provide novel model Capgras delusion which describes how an analytic, cognitive neuropsychological two-factor might be integrated.
