Hermeneutics and Negativism
Existential Ambiguities of Self-Understanding
Seiten
Der vorliegende Band untersucht existentielle Fragen der Angst, Verzweiflung und Freiheit, indem im Dialog zwischen philosophischer Anthropologie, Phänomenologie, Theologie, Psychoanalyse und Psychiatrie ein negativistischer Zugang zu Ambiguitäten des Selbstverstehens und der Selbstentfremdung entwickelt wird.
This volume explores existential questions within the following three thematic fields: first, experiences of anxiety and despair as related to the question of what these phenomena show about freedom and its difficulties; second, hermeneutical theories as related to the question of how we can develop an existential hermeneutics that can account for the ambiguities of self-understanding between transparency and opacity, and, third, selfhood between self-understanding and self-alienation as a focal point of existential psycho(patho)logy. What can disturbances to or breakdowns in self-understanding teach us about personhood? Making visible one's own blindness by articulating the shadows of our knowledge and abilities is at the core of a negativistic approach to existential questions discussed in a dialogue between philosophical anthropology, phenomenology, theology, psychoanalysis, and psychiatry.
