Forfatterne retter et undersøgende og kritisk blik mod omsorgens vilkår, relationer og omgivelser. Rum forståes i denne sammenhæng på flere måder: som rummet mellem mennesker, som fysiske rumlige omgivelser og som det store rum vi lever og ånder i. Forfatterne stiller spørgsmål om, hvilket rum der er for omsorg i dagens sundhedsvæsen. Bogen er også et bidrag til debatten om omsorgsarbejde i sundhedsvæsenet.

From the acclaimed author of the award-winning book 'Dementia Beyond Drugs', comes another eye-opening exploration of how to improve the lives of people with dementia and those who care for them.

Summary: "This book brings together insights from the enactivist approach in philosophy of mind and existing work on autonomous agency from both philosophy of action and feminist philosophy. It then utilizes this proposed account of autonomous agency to make sense of the impairments in agency that commonly occur in cases of dissociative identity disorder, mood disorders, and psychopathy. While much of the existing philosophical work on autonomy focuses on threats that come from outside the agent, this book addresses how inner conflict, instability of character, or motivational issues can disrupt agency. In the first half of the book, the author conceptualizes what it means to be self-governing and to exercise autonomous agency. In the second half, she investigates the extent to which agents with various forms of mental disorder are capable of exercising autonomy. In her view, many forms of mental disorder involve disruptions to self-governance, so that agents lack sufficient control over their intentional behavior or are unable to formulate and execute coherent action plans. However, this does not mean that they are utterly incapable of autonomous agency; rather, their ability to exercise this capacity is compromised in important respects. Understanding these agential impairments can help to deepen our understanding of what it means to exercise autonomy, and also devise more effective treatments that restore subjects' agency. Autonomy, Enactivism, and Mental Disorder will be of interest to researchers and advanced students working in philosophy of mind, philosophy of action, philosophy of psychiatry, and feminist philosophy"

Debatbog om en tid, hvor individet er produktet, og den personlige autonomi er under pres. Hendricks beskriver med filosofi, videnskab og etiske overvejelser, hvordan det ikke bare er en sandhed med modifikationer, men direkte forkert, at internettet og sociale medier er demokratiserende

Ask Katzeffs ph. d.-afhandling om autonome besatte zoner i den moderne by viser, at staten i dag gerne sniger sig ind og civiliserer dem - og bruger dem til at øge et kvarters ejendomsværdi. Slet ikke som i de vilde 1980'ere

I middelklassen vil ingen se ud som de andre, og så kommer alle til at ligne hinanden
