Experimental Philosophy of Health and Disease
Somogy Varga and Andrew J. Latham (Aarhus University)

Dates: Monday, 15 April 2024
Time: 5:30pm
Venue: New Law Building (F10), Level 3, Room 344
How to register: Free, no registration required.

Abstract: While the philosophy of medicine has seen extensive discussions 
focusing on the concepts of health, disease, and dysfunction, the exact content 
of these concepts remains contested. In this talk, we will report some results 
from a series of experimental philosophy studies which aimed to examine how 
people understand and deploy these concepts, and the factors that influence 
their judgments. We will then discuss the implications that these findings 
carry for the philosophical debates and for health-related communication in 
both clinical and public health settings..


Bio: Somogy Varga is professor of philosophy at Aarhus University and director 
of the Center for Philosophy and the Health Sciences. His current research is 
mostly concerned with topics in the philosophy of science, psychiatry, and 
medicine. He is the author of four books: Science, Medicine, and the Aims of 
Inquiry (Cambridge University Press, in press), Scaffolded Minds (MIT Press, 
2019), Naturalism, Interpretation and Mental Disorder (Oxford University Press, 
2015), and Authenticity as an Ethical Ideal (Routledge, 2011). Some of his 
research papers were published in leading medical/psychological journals (e.g., 
Psychological Review, Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews), others in 
philosophical journals(e.g., PPR, AJP).

Bio: Andrew J. Latham is an AIAS-PIREAU research fellow at Aarhus University. 
He works at the intersection of metaphysics, ethics and cognitive science and 
is interested in what empirical discoveries, particularly in the psychological 
and brain sciences, reveal about the nature of phenomena. Andrew has authored 
many papers in experimental philosophy, with many of them being published in 
leading philosophy journals (i.e., Noûs, Journal of Philosophy, and Philosophy 
and Phenomenological Research). He was recently awarded both a Marie Curie 
European Postdoctoral Fellowship and Discovery Early Career Research Award.
