description Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Article 2022 United KingdomPublisher:University of Chicago Press Funded by:WT | Neo-Kantianism as an alte...WT| Neo-Kantianism as an alternative conceptual basis for psychiatryAuthors: Fellowes, Sam;Fellowes, Sam;doi: 10.1086/714801
Some critics argue that the type of psychiatric diagnosis found in the DSM and ICD are superfluous and should be abandoned. These are known as categorical polythetic psychiatric diagnoses. To receive a categorical polythetic psychiatric diagnosis an individual need only exhibit some, rather than all, of the symptoms on the diagnostic criteria. Consequently, categorical polythetic psychiatric diagnoses only associate an individual with a range of symptoms rather than specify which symptoms they have. Drawing upon Ronald Giere’s account of scientific models, I portray categorical polythetic psychiatric diagnoses as abstract models which guide the building of less abstract models. These models can specify which symptoms a particular individual has. Additionally, categorical polythetic psychiatric diagnoses can guide investigation of symptoms towards difficult to spot symptoms, guide investigation towards changing symptoms and guide investigation towards how symptoms manifest. These important roles mean categorical polythetic psychiatric diagnoses should not be abandoned.

The results show this effect is contextual, and depends on the size of the landscape being explored, with funding that includes explicit random allocation performing significantly better than peer-review on large landscapes. The paper proposes a way of incorporating external institutional factors in formal social epistemology, and offers a way of bringing such investigations to bear on current research policy questions.

Representational properties of the genome are founded in the transmission of DNA over phylogenetic time and its role in natural selection. However, genetic representation is not just relevant to questions of selection and evolution. This article goes beyond existing treatments and argues for the heterodox view that information generated by a process of selection over phylogenetic time can be read in ontogenetic time, in the course of individual development. Recent results in evolutionary biology, drawn both from modelling work, and from experimental and observational data, support a role for genetic representation in explaining individual ontogeny: both genetic representations and environmental information are read by the mechanisms of development, in an individual, so as to lead to adaptive phenotypes. Furthermore, in some cases there appears to have been selection between individuals that rely to different degrees on the two sources of information. Thus, the theory of representation in inheritance systems like the genome is much more than just a coherent reconstruction of information talk in biology. Genetic representation is a property with considerable explanatory utility. 1 Introduction2 Inherited Representations3 Reading Genetic Representations 3.1 Do genes carry correlational information?4 Selection Between Genetic and Environmental Information 4.1 Modelling 4.2 Empirical applications 4.3 Maternal effects5 Genetic Representation and the Genome 5.1 Information capacity of organisms' genomes 5.2 Many amino acids, few nucleotides 5.3 A function of sex6 Explaining Further Aspects of Development 6.1 Canalization against environmental variation 6.2 An informational function for the nuclear membrane?7 Conclusion
