The trascendental and pheomenologic methods in psychopathology: corporality and subjetivity

Abstract

Psychopathology has now entered the terminal phase of the abolition process whose onset dates back to its very beginnings. This fact, being the consequence of a choice made in history, takes up the inadverted inheritance of modernity with the result of a psychopathological practice subjected to the dictates of vulgar and dull empiricism. Taking this position as a starting point, this work focusses on two authors who have made a decisive contribution to the theory or psichopathology, i. e. Kant and Husserl, to the purpose of giving a new bias to the conventional interpretation of their work regarding the subjectivity of the subject by incorporating the concept of corporality with all its implicit effects on the former. This points towards and opens up a route for a comeback of psychopathology, yet recognizing the reality of the actual and factual subject involved and incorporated in the world primarily through its body, which fact accounts for the approach of taking the body as a concrete a priori input.
