Henry Calderwood, a nineteenth-century Scottish philosopher interested in madness, published in 1879 an important work on the interaction between philosophy of mind, the nascent neurosciences and mental disease. Holding a spiritual view of the mind, he considered the phrase 'mental disease' (as Feuchtersleben had in 1845) to be but a misleading metaphor. His analysis of the research work of Ferrier, Clouston, Crichton-Browne, Maudsley, Tuke, Sankey, etc., is detailed, and his views are correct on the very limited explanatory power that their findings had for the understanding of madness. Calderwood's conceptual contribution deserves to be added to the growing list of nineteenth-century writers who started the construction of a veritable 'philosophy of alienism' (now called 'philosophy of psychiatry').
亨利·考尔德伍德是一位对疯癫感兴趣的19世纪苏格兰哲学家，他在1879年出版了一部关于心灵哲学、新兴神经科学与精神疾病之间相互作用的重要著作。他秉持心灵的精神观，认为“精神疾病”这一表述（正如费希特莱本在1845年所认为的那样）不过是一个具有误导性的隐喻。他对费里尔、克劳斯登、克里顿 - 布朗、莫兹利、图克、桑基等人研究工作的分析详尽入微，并且他关于这些人的研究结果在理解疯癫方面所具有的极其有限的解释力的观点是正确的。考尔德伍德的概念性贡献理应被列入越来越多的19世纪作家名单之中，这些作家开启了名副其实的“精神错乱哲学”（如今称为“精神病学哲学”）的构建。
