September – December 2015
Collaborators on the project CEASCRO Zdenka Brzović and Marko Jurjako will spend the fall term as visiting scholars in New York, USA.
Zdenka Brzović, Department of philosophy, New York University (NYU)
She investigates the scientific status of the concept of psychopathy. The main question is whether the concept of psychopathy as used in contemporary forensic psychiatry is robust enough to be considered a legitimate scientific category. In that respect the research interfaces general discussions on scientific kinds and tries to test and refine them by using psychopathy as a case study.
Marko Jurjako, Hunter College, City University of New York (CUNY)
He will investigate the concepts of function and dysfunction that are implicitly presupposed in arguments that underpin the discussion whether individuals with severe psychopathic personality disorder should be held responsible for their actions.
