Philosophical and Legal Aspects of the Disease Concept of Alcoholism

  • Chapter
Research Advances in Alcohol and Drug Problems

Part of the book series: Research Advances in Alcohol and Drug Problems ((AADP,volume 7))

Abstract

This discussion under the rubric “philosophical analysis” raises what might broadly be called logical and conceptual questions pertinent to the #x201C;disease concept of alcoholism.#x201D; The aim is to discover in what specific senses the concept may embody logically and scientifically viable claims. Procedurally, the first aim is to develop criteria of relevance and to use these to identify meaning-components that can plausibly be assigned to the #x201C;disease concept of alcoholism.#x201D; The next procedural aim is to assess the viability of each such component by a process that interweaves logical analysis with reference to the basic relevant scientific evidence. The procedure will therefore include reporting authoritative review and comment on the upshot of the scientific evidence, but it is the logical bearing of that evidence on the conceptual issues that is the specific concern here, not scientific critique of the evidence itself. (Discussion from the scientific standpoint of many of these issues will be found in the essay by Kissin in this volume.)
