This workshop aims at exploring the interrelation between mental health and agency in psychopathological populations (e.g., autism or schizophrenia) with respect to (i) cognition, (ii) therapy, and (iii) moral implications. It is connected to Dr. Anika Fiebich’s visit whose aim is to evaluate and develop aspects of her current project “Mental Illness and Cooperation” in Milan, particularly with respect to (failures) of moral commitments.
