Adrian Downey (QUB), ‘Mental Illness: A Deviation From Phenomenological, Not Moral, Norms’.

Adrian Downey is currently convening several modules in metaphysics for QUB. He is interested in the nature consciousness and his research is thoroughly inter-disciplinary in nature. As such, he is happy to read and think about consciousness using the resources and perspectives of many different fields and research traditions ('Analytic' Philosophy, Phenomenology, Cognitive Science, Psychology, Neuroscience, Psychotherapy, Psychiatry, and so on). He has subsidiary research interests in a number of areas-- the nature of mental representation, the ontological status of mind, the epistemology and ontology of science-- but all of these interests tend to connect in some way with his views about consciousness.
