Rationality and psychiatry: the case of psychopathy
A family of arguments bases on clinical, experimental, anecdotal evidence the conclusion that psychopaths are practically irrational. Heidi Maibom and other authors ( Maibom 2005, Maibom 2010) have offered a very influential argument for rational impairments in psychopaths on the basis of experiments on their instrumental learning. In this paper we argue that the experimental evidence that Maibom uses cannot directly support the conclusion that psychopaths are impaired in their instrumental rationality. Specifically, we aim to show that transferring knowledge from these empirical investigations to solve the problem of the rationality of psychopaths requires taking stance on several conceptual issues concerning the formulation of requirements of practical rationality.
