Delusional atmosphere, the everyday uncanny and the limits of secondary sense

My paper:

Thornton, T. (2012) ‘Delusional atmosphere, the everyday uncanny and the limits of secondary sense’ Emotion Review 4: 192-6

has just been published in a special issue of Emotion Review on emotions in psychopathology. It is one of the outcomes of Matthew Ratcliffe’s project on this topic at Durham combining philosophical and empirical. The issue has a range of articles including papers by Shaun Gallagher, Peter Hobson, Lisa Bortolloti and Matt Broome and the late Peter Goldie who dies suddenly last year.

My own paper expresses my combined fascination with and scepticism about Louis Sass’ attempt to use Wittgenstein to articulate a phenomenological accout of schizophrenia in his rightly respected book Paradoxes of Delusion. Since Sass himself reviewed my paper, it was a somewhat bumpy ride.
