Borsboom et al. convincingly argue that, from their symptom network perspective, mental disorders cannot be reduced to brain disorders. While granting that network structures exist, I respond that there is no reason to think they are the only psychiatric phenomena worth explaining. From a pluralist perspective, what is required is not a full-scale rejection of explanatory reductionism but a critical attention to the circumstances of its application.
博尔肖姆等人令人信服地论证了，从他们的症状网络视角来看，精神障碍不能被简化为大脑障碍。我承认网络结构确实存在，但我回应说，没有理由认为它们是唯一值得解释的精神现象。从多元主义的角度来看，所需要的不是全面拒绝解释性还原论，而是对其应用情况进行批判性关注。
