The aim of my article is to analyze the concepts and phenomena of diagnosis and recognition, often considered to be semantically identical. While in psychiatric practice such an identity does not necessarily have adverse effects, in the anthropological and cultural domains identification of diagnosis and recognition may cause stigmatization, or other undesirable consequences. The article attempts to justify this thesis.

In this essay I present culture as a realm constituted by a circular movement where progress is constantly confronted (and questioned) by different forms of reversions. By progress I mean specifically oriented changes we observe in culture. Many of them are rooted in the development of technology and science, or stem from demographical changes and intercultural influences. Reactions to these changes frequently involve returning to certain forms of behavior or responses that were common in the past but have been later abandoned. I intend to present examples of this phenomenon observed in culture.

Preview: Where should we look for an answer to the question whether a psychiatrist is an expert? In analyses of the concept of “expert”? In sociological studies? Or perhaps in opinions formulated by psychiatrists themselves? The subject is not as simple as it might first seem and the answer cannot be obvious. Certainly, psychiatrists are considered to be experts when they are called in by the court to act as expert witnesses. They are also deemed experts when they make a diagnosis, prescribe medication, or write out a sick note – similarly to other doctors. We typically trust that, just like other healthcare professionals, they will help us to recover or at least that they can alleviate our suffering.

Preview: Anthony Quinton in 1985 in a lecture to the British Academy said that madness is a topic that should be of interest to philosophers but they have surprisingly little to say about it. Twenty years later it turned out that philosophers have surprisingly much to say about it. Philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, as well as philosophy of culture have all made not just madness but also psychiatry the subject of their analysis.

The purpose of this essay is to understand the category of “axiological contingency” introduced by Władysław Stróżewski. This category seems particularly useful for the more complete description and understanding of our participation in culture. In Stróżewski's thought, there are several concepts or categories closely related to the category of “axiological contingency”: the concepts of “gift”, of “axiological sens”, and of “meta-rationalism”. The whole essay is organized around these four categories.

In the contemporary humanities there is still a problem with the understanding of the great texts of Western Mysticism – the common interpretations oscillate between taking the mysticism as the pathology or as the supernormality. Different researchers, including psychiatrists, psychologists, theologians and philosophers, are usually presenting theories that are either too narrow or not enough critical. In my paper I am analyzing some traditional theories of mystical experience and try to expand the discussion by taking the perspective of anthropologically-oriented philosophy of culture. The advantage of this approach is to take into consideration a broader context where any attempt at classifying the mystical experience as pathological is excluded. Therefore, it is possible to defend its originality and authenticity while using reasonable and critical methods.
