Investigations of the Subjectivity - between Phenomenology and Psychotherapy

The main issue of the project is the investigation of the subjectivity in several contexts and research fields. The common point of departure of all the particular investigations that are summarized in this project is the problem of the subjectivity and its conditions in the classical phenomenology (Husserl, Heidegger). One part of the project focuses therefore on the recent transformations of the phenomenological thinking. The other part, which gave title to the whole project, traverses the frames of the strictly philosophical thinking and pays heed to the investigations of the subjectivity in other disciplines (psychiatry, psychoanalysis and other forms of psychotherapy, as well as ethnology and sociology). Nevertheless, the aim of this interdisciplinary part of the project is also a philosophical reflection of the subjectivity in its primordial conditions, that is affectivity and corporeity in general, or intersubjectivity and social dimension.
