A Continuum is a Continuum, and Swans are Not Geese. Reply to Fenton & Wiers
Neuroethics 10 (1):167-168 (2017)
Abstract
I applaud Fenton and Wiers' attempt to find a demarcation point between cases of addiction that fall within the range of normal function and those that may count as disease. However, I argue that continua don't offer demarcation points, the mechanisms involved are not demonstrably different, and trying to pin down subjectivity doesn't help.My notes
