这篇文章探讨了疾病的哲学作用。它简要地调查了哲学的作用给予哲学史上的疾病，并解释了为什么疾病值得这样一个角色。它表明，疾病改变了正常的经验，从而揭示了正常的经验，揭示了它的普通结构，因此被忽视了。疾病也提供了一个反思的机会，因为它暂停了以前持有的信念，包括默认的信念。文章认为，这些特征保证了疾病的哲学作用。虽然大多数哲学程序的表现是意志性的和理论性的，然而，疾病是不请自来的和威胁性的，使病人陷入焦虑和不确定性。因此，它可以被视为一个激进的哲学动机，可以深刻地改变我们的观点。这篇文章认为，疾病可以改变我们学习的方式：它可以塑造哲学方法和关注点，改变一个人的意识和哲学概念。
This article examines the philosophical role of illness. It briefly surveys the philosophical role accorded to illness in the history of philosophy and explains why illness merits such a role. It suggests that illness modifies, and thus sheds light on, normal experience, revealing its ordinary and therefore overlooked structure. Illness also provides an opportunity for reflection by performing a kind of suspension (epoche) of previously held beliefs, including tacit beliefs. The article argues that these characteristics warrant a philosophical role for illness. While the performance of most philosophical procedures is volitional and theoretical, however, illness is uninvited and threatening, throwing the ill person into anxiety and uncertainty. As such it can be viewed as a radical philosophical motivation that can profoundly alter our outlook. The article suggests that illness can change the ways in which we philosophise: it may shape philosophical methods and concerns and change one's sense of salience and conception of philosophy.
