Emotional Experience in Depression: a Philosophical Study

抑郁症中的情绪体验：一项哲学研究这个项目的目的是提供有史以来第一个详细的、系统的哲学研究，研究抑郁症中情绪、情感和感觉的改变的本质和作用。尽管对抑郁症的原因和治疗进行了大量的研究，但人们对抑郁症的经历仍然知之甚少。大多数自传体叙述要么诉诸隐喻，要么承认经历的某些方面是无法传达的。情绪、情绪和身体感觉的变化是所有形式的疾病的核心。近年来，在精神病学哲学和科学现象学的新发展的补充下，对情感进行了许多有价值的哲学和跨学科研究。我们将利用所有这些方面。我们的项目将汇集一群哲学家、精神病学家、文化人类学家、心理学家和神经科学家，他们都对当前情感和/或精神疾病的研究做出了重要贡献。其结果将是对抑郁症中情绪体验的一个有凝聚力的描述，这将作为进一步哲学工作的基础，通过提供需要解释的情绪变化的更清晰的描述来协助正在进行的科学研究，并通过制定一个概念性框架来为临床工作做出贡献，患者和临床医生都可以使用这个框架来交流抑郁症的经历。

Emotional Experience in Depression: A Philosophical Study The aim of this project is to provide the first ever detailed, systematic philosophical study of the nature and role of altered mood, emotion and feeling in depression. Despite the vast amount of research that is conducted into the causes and treatment of depression, the experience of depression remains poorly understood. Most autobiographical accounts either resort to metaphor or acknowledge that aspects of the experience are incommunicable. Changes in emotion, mood and bodily feeling are central to all forms of the condition. In recent years, there has been much valuable philosophical and interdisciplinary research on the emotions, which is complemented by new developments in philosophy of psychiatry and in scientifically-informed phenomenology. We will draw on all these areas. Our project will bring together a group of philosophers, psychiatrists, cultural anthropologists, psychologists, and neuroscientists all of whom have made important contributions to current research on emotion and/or psychiatric illness. The result will be a cohesive account of emotional experience in depression that will serve as the basis for further philosophical work, assist on-going scientific research by providing clearer accounts of the emotional changes that require explanation, and contribute to clinical work by formulating a conceptual framework that patients and clinicians alike can use to communicate the experience of depression.
