Abstract In recent years, (autonomy-centered) enactivism has been used to provide an integrative and relational account of mental conditions. A significant advancement lies in its naturalized pluralistic treatment normativity, which transcends traditional objectivist normativist dichotomies. This article explores the varieties normativity within this paradigm their implications for understanding We address purported challenges associated with integration social into enactive naturalistic framework cognition, particularly concerning Drawing upon distinction between constitution problem status problem, we conceptualize conditions as intersubjectively constituted negotiated status.

As an alternative to linear and unidimensional perspectives focused mainly on either organic or psychological processes, the enactive approach life mind—a branch of 4-E (embodied, embedded, enactive, extended) cognitive theories—offers integrative framework study mental disorders that encompasses articulates organic, sensorimotor, intersubjective dimensions embodiment. These three domains are deeply entangled in a non-trivial manner. A question remains how this systemic multi-dimensional may be applied our understanding symptomatic behavior. Drawing Gilbert Simondon’s philosophy individuation (focusing particularly concepts tension , metastability preindividual ), we provide some conceptual tools better understand dynamic, interactive, nature human bodies psychopathological symptoms. One such cursiva is sense-making, key notion captures relational process generating meaning by interacting with sociomaterial environment. The article analyzes five aspects related sense-making: temporality, adaptivity, multiplicity normativities it involves, fundamental role tension, its participatory character. On basis, draw certain implications for diverse symptoms, suggest their interpretation terms difficulties transform tensions perform which result reduction field potentialities self-individuation sense-making.

Abstract In this paper we articulate a characterization of the concept disease as social problem. We argue that, from ontology point view, diseases are problems that identified and addressed within framework concrete institutions practices (those shape medicine). This approach allows us to overcome classical distinction between naturalist normativist approaches in philosophy medicine, taking into account both material symbolic factors categories determine medicine.
