The kindness of psychopaths

Psychopathy as a psychiatric condition has figured prominently in many recent philosophical debates, especially with regards to the issues concerning morality and responsibility of psychopaths, and the disorder status of psychopathy. Such debates, at least implicitly, presuppose that psychopathy is a unified psychiatric construct that picks out a real phenomenon, which makes it a candidate for a psychiatric natural kind according to some recent accounts of psychiatric classification. Our aim is to explore this underlying assumption and analyze whether psychopathy can be considered a psychiatric natural kind.
