A Perspective on Opioid Addiction

Jay Schulkin, a behavioral neuroscientist, and Bryce Huebner, a philosopher, explore the complexities of opioid addiction through a distinctive combination of neuroscientific knowledge and pragmatist thought.

Jay Schulkin (1952-2023) was the author or coauthor of dozens of books on a vast range of subjects. He held academic and research positions at Georgetown University, the University of Washington, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the National Institutes of Mental Health. His previous Columbia University Press books are Mind Ecologies: Body, Brain, and World (2020, with Matthew Crippen) and The Brain in Context: A Pragmatic Guide to Neuroscience (2019, with Jonathan D. Moreno).

Bryce Huebner is a professor of philosophy at Georgetown University.
