Summary: This paper discusses the significance of critical phenomenology in psychiatric praxis, primarily focusing on improving communication between clinicians and patients by addressing instances of hermeneutical injustice. It argues for a shift from individualistic conceptions of understanding to an interactionist view that considers the co-constitution of meaning within contextual, historical, and relational backgrounds. It concludes by suggesting a corrective approach towards hermeneutical injustice through attentiveness to subjectivity, sensitivity to contingent meaning-generating structures, and hermeneutical flexibility.

Summary: There is a growing debate on strong epistemic anti-individualism, which argues that knowledge is inherently social, in mainstream and social epistemology. Existing approaches focus on aggregative analyses to support this view, but group knowledge can also be generated through epistemic collaborations. This paper proposes a hybrid approach of distributed virtue reliabilism to accommodate this kind of group knowledge.

Summary: Different cultures have different understandings of consciousness, soul, and spirit. Recently, there has been a resurgence of interest in native indigenous traditions, which are now being utilized in psychotherapy, mental health counseling, and psychiatry. This review aims to explore and summarize the native indigenous concepts of consciousness, soul, and spirit. By contrasting these concepts, important implications for understanding consciousness in a cross-cultural perspective are revealed, with practical implications for applying native indigenous traditions.

Summary: Radical realism is distinguished by its explicit rejection of liberal political institutions and advocacy for Marxism or anarchism. Critics argue that the aversion to normative theorising hinders their ability to criticize the status quo, but this objection might be seen as self-frustration rather than bias against the status quo. In fact, the problem may lie with the critics of radical realism and their relationship with the status quo.

Summary: Several science studies scholars have reported instances of scientific hype, which refers to exaggerated claims and sensationalized exaggeration in journal articles, institutional press releases, and science journalism across various fields. The author argues that hype should be understood as a specific form of exaggeration that undermines the goals of science communication by explicitly or implicitly exaggerating the positive aspects of science. This perspective highlights the role of value judgments in detecting and addressing the problem of hype.

Carlo Burelli, Chiara Destri
Summary: This article argues that political realists have two distinct strategies for providing political normative judgments that are separate from morality, instrumental normativity and epistemic normativity. However, both sources have flaws - instrumental normativity may lead to false beliefs, while epistemic normativity, though critical, does not offer specific recommendations. By combining the two, these flaws can be remedied.

Summary: Enactive cognitive science views bodies as open-ended and mutually transforming through activity, combining questions in epistemology, ontology, and ethics. Its ethics is based on the relation between knowing and becoming, proposing difference as a generative concept and advocating for a transindividual concept of moral attunement. Through generative difference and attunement, enaction supports an ethics of participation that links virtue ethics and ethics of care.

Summary: This article presents a new approach to theorize about hermeneutical injustice and argues against the dominant view that focuses on a lack of hermeneutical resources. Instead, it suggests that hermeneutical injustice can also occur when accurate resources are crowded out or preempted by distorting and oppressive concepts. The author proposes a broader analysis that takes into consideration the dynamic relationship between hermeneutical resources and the social and political contexts in which they are implemented.

Summary: Conceptual engineering faces the challenge of securing uptake of engineered concepts, but questioning whether the challenging implementation is really a defect to be overcome. The liberal democratic rationale lies in the fear of power control over conceptual uptake falling into wrong hands, in combination with the democratic demand for freedom of thought as a precondition of genuine consent, supporting the idea to keep implementation challenging.
