Document Details : Title: Entre normativité et créativité Subtitle: La tradition phénoménologique en psychopathologie Author(s): GROHMANN, Till Journal: Tijdschrift voor Filosofie Volume: 85 Issue: 2 Date: 2023 Pages: 193-215 DOI: 10.2143/TVF.85.2.3292642 Abstract : This paper interrogates certain implicit normative assumptions at play in phenomenological psychopathology. It claims that phenomenological psychopathology can be understood as a certain form of philosophical anthropology, and furthermore, that it displays fundamental traits of humanism. The particular form of humanism prevalent in phenomenological psychopathology will be defined as a 'humanism of the sick man'. After introducing and discussing this form of humanism, the paper proceeds to a critical investigation. It claims that phenomenological psychopathology tends to conceive madness in merely negative terms, i.e., as a deterioration of the subject’s transcendental capacity to project a world. Pace phenomenology’s fixation on world-projection, this paper highlights alternative forms of creation in madness which do not tend teleologically towards world-constitution. |
