They make clear, in considering the relation of bodies and selves, that more is at stake than social identity categories; but that what is at stake is, nonetheless, an inter-subjective making of the self. Again, given my account of the mind and the self, as fully embodied, I doubt this is how it would turn out.

But if things did turn out that way, I suppose I would bite the bullet and say that this is a numerically distinct minded animal, one that resembles Lizzie in certain psychological respects. Jennifer Hansen raised some interesting questions about how my account of affective framing might be adopted to make sense of depression. Affective framing, as I understand it, is the process whereby we appraise and interpret things in our surroundings by way of desiderative bodily feelings. Such framing is best understood as distributed over a complex network of brain and bodily processes; it engages not just the brain, but also metabolic systems, endocrine responses, musculoskeletal changes, and cardiovascular responses.

I argue that this pre-reflective way of discriminating, filtering, and selecting information is our most basic, fundamental way of making sense of our surroundings. Affective framing has a forward-looking temporal structure and a future-oriented temporal dimension. This is because ordinarily, as we encounter the world, we gauge things as important or significant to us in relation to open possibilities and our goals for the future. Objects and people are framed as enticing, threatening, urgent, interesting, or otherwise significant insofar as they offer potential friendship, conversation, approval, or humiliation.

In ordinary cases, the embodied subject experiences the future as open to change, and this openness to the future has a bodily dimension: However, in cases of depression, the future lacks openness and no longer appears as a domain of possible activity, so that many tasks or pursuits seem to be blocked or impossible. Because a subject with depression is no longer connected or intentionally directed toward the future in the usual way, she becomes temporally de-situated: Some of the discussion with the audience focused on issues related to personal identity.

Many people have strong intuitions in favor of a psychological approach to personal identity and a brainbound approach to the mind. I was not surprised to have some pushback regarding my proposed Minded Animal account. We also talked a little bit about the role of environmental factors in giving rise to mental illness and some of the cross-cultural differences in the way schizophrenia and depression manifest. And while guilt is a key symptom of depression for many subjects in the U. This may be due to the differing emphasis that societies put on economic productive and goal achievement.

I am interested in thinking more about how psychological disorders are reflective not only of disordered functioning within individuals, but also a toxic social environment. I also am interested in thinking more about how a disruption to affective framing might help to explain major depressive disorder. How can your thinking on this area shed light on public discourse and debates?

Medication remains the dominant mode of treatment for psychological disorders. I think that once we understand mindedness and self-consciousness as fully embodied, this pushes us toward body-oriented modes of therapy. These more effective modes of therapy would involve cultivating better habits of attention and emotional response. Hansen asked specifically how these ideas might be relevant for the debate surrounding neuro-enhancement.

Dance, yoga, music therapy, and art therapy all engage the body and can cultivate new modes of engaging with the world and interacting with other people. More research should be done to investigate the effectiveness of body-oriented modes of treatment. What are your top tips for authors and critics when they meet in sessions such as these?
