    Abstract

    The interactive fields of philosophy of psychiatry, philosophy of mind and psychiatric ethics have proved excellent frameworks in which to examine conceptual changes in our understanding of the human being during the last two centuries. Comparatively little has been written in the field of moral philosophy about these insights into the nature of moral agency, subjectivity and other fundamental concepts that enrich our understanding of mental health. The aim of this chapter is to develop Murdoch’s work on moral perception in this novel direction. In doing so, it speaks to recent philosophical and empirical work on therapeutic understanding through literary expressions and illness biographies, which I use to explain why narrative self-creation is central to the recovery process.
