    Addiction: A Philosophical Perspective.Candice Shelby - 2016 - New York, NY, USA: Palgrave Macmillan.
    Addiction: A Philosophical Approach CHAPTER ABSTRACTS “Introduction: Dismantling the Catchphrase” by Candice Shelby Shelby dismantles the catchphrase “disease of addiction.” The characterization of addiction as a disease permeates both research and treatment, but that understanding fails to get at the complexity involved in human addiction. Shelby introduces another way of thinking about addiction, one that implies that is properly understood neither as a disease nor merely as a choice, or set of choices. Addiction is a phenomenon emergent from a complex (...)

    Addiction: Beyond Disease and Choice.Candice L. Shelby - 2013 - Philosophy in the Contemporary World 20 (2):65-76.
    While the addiction treatment industry holds steadfast to the idea that addiction is a disease, and the choice theorists maintam to the contrary that it is justa choice, the truth is not as simple as either. The idea of addiction is a social construct that evolved over the 20th century to encompass increasingly morephenomena, while becoming increasingly conceptually less clear. Taking a complex dynamic systems approach, rather than relying on either the obscure disease notion or the naive choice concept allows (...)

  5. Reductio ad absurdum and slippery slope arguments:: Two sides of the same Coin?Candice Shelby - 2010 - Annales Philosophici 1:77-82.
    Despite the fact that the reductio ad absurdum argument is a valid deductive form, while the slippery slope argument is most often presented as a fallacious form of inductive argument, the two argument types bear some striking similarities. Investigation of these similarities reveals some more universal difficulties in the teaching of informal logic, and, in particular the difference between strong informal arguments and fallacious ones.

    Embodied Mind, Meaning, and Reason: How Our Bodies Give Rise to Understanding by Mark Johnson, and: The Aesthetics of Meaning and Thought: The Bodily Roots of Philosophy, Science, Morality, and Art by Mark Johnson. [REVIEW]Candice L. Shelby - 2019 - Transactions of the Charles S. Peirce Society 54 (4):574-581.
    Mark Johnson is widely regarded as a major figure in philosophical embodied cognition theory in the U.S., and as co-founder with George Lakoff of conceptual metaphor theory. These two theories, along with Johnson's deep rootedness in classical American Pragmatism, provide the themes for the analyses developed in both Embodied Mind, Meaning, and Reason: How our Bodies Give Rise to Understanding and The Aesthetics of Meaning and Thought: The Bodily Roots of Philosophy, Science, Morality and Art. The two texts together review (...)
