The Way

The aims of phenomenology are to clarify, describe, and make sense of the structures and dynamics of pre-reflective human experience, whereas hermeneutics aims to articulate the reflective character of human experience as it manifests in language and other forms of creative signs. This suggests that the two approaches differ in aims, methods, and subject matter. A closer look at the two disciplines reveals, however, that in terms of history, themes, and philosophical goals they have more in common than that which separates them. This chapter examines these differences and common features in the philosophy of Heidegger and Gadamer, then demonstrates how Ricoeur’s hermeneutical phenomenology provides us with a dialectical account of personal identity that can contribute to phenomenological psychopathology. The combination of a phenomenological clarification of selfhood and a hermeneutical emphasis on interpretation paves the way for an interdisciplinary approach to mental illness.

Children who live in households where domestic violence is occurring have been variously described in the literature over time as silent witnesses, witnesses, a cohort who is “exposed” to the violence, and more recently, as individual victim survivors and active agents in their own right, each with their own lived experience of violence. Research methodologies in this arena have shifted from adult-focused measurements of the impacts of domestic violence on children to more qualitative attempts to understand the experience from the child’s perspective. In doing so, there have been notions of giving “voice to the voiceless” and doing no further harm through a desire to protect children from exposure. However, the relational framing of children’s voices and recognition and enabling of children’s agency is less evolved in research and professional interventions. A study undertaken in Australia researched with a primary care population of 23 children and 18 mothers, children’s experiences of safety and resiliency in the context of domestic violence. The findings of the research were realized using qualitative research methods with children and the analytical framing of hermeneutical phenomenology, ethics of care and in particular dialogical ethics, to draw practical understanding and application in health care settings. This article aims to demonstrate how the analytical methodology chosen was applied in the research process and reveals the elements required for children to experience agency in navigating their relationships in an unsafe world, while learning about themselves. It draws upon understandings of the child’s relational context and introduces a model of children’s agency, which may have applicability for domestic violence policy and practice settings.

A Cell

Perception and reciprocity are key understandings in the lived experience of driving while using a cellular phone. When I talk on a cell phone while driving, I interpret the world through a variety of technologically mediated perceptions. I interpret the bumps in the road and the bug on the windshield. I perceive the information on the dashboard and the conversation with the Other on the other end of the technological “line” of the phone. This reflection uses hermeneutical phenomenology to address the things themselves in life with which we relate and interact with in our everydayness, as we talk on a cell phone while driving.

The Relationship

Este trabalho ressalta a relação entre a razão e a experiência no campo de estudo da religião, mostrando suas transformações no contexto do desenvolvimento da filosofia da religião e dos paradigmas da razão. Aponta para a atual crítica à hegemonia da razão e o interesse crescente pelas demais dimensões do psiquismo, em particular através do desenvolvimento do método fenomenológico e de sua abordagem da experiência. Apresenta a renovação da atual fenomenologia francesa, que permite não apenas a revisão crítica do  racionalismo e do positivismo, como também a possibilidade de repensar a relação entre ciência, filosofia e religião. Focaliza os avanços da filosofia reflexiva de Jean Nabert e a contribuição da fenomenologia hermenêutica de Paul Ricoeur para uma nova concepção da filosofia da religião e da alteridade religiosa.Abstract: This work underlines the relationship between reason and experience in the field of religion studies, showing its transformations within the development of the philosophy of religion and the paradigms of reason. It points towards the current criticism concerning the hegemony of reason and towards the growing interest for other psychical dimensions, particularly through the development of the phenomenological method and its approach to experience This article also presents the current renewal of French phenomenology that allows not only the critical revision of rationalism and positivism, but also the possibility to rethink the relationship between philosophy, science and religion. It focuses on the advancements of Jean Nabert’s philosophy and on the contributions of Ricoeur’s hermeneutical phenomenology, leading to a new conception of the philosophy of religion and of religious otherness.

The Way

Treating the other as an autonomous person is widely considered a guiding ethical principle. The notions of autonomy and personhood are, however, far from evident in a time of striding naturalism. Hermeneutical phenomenology provides an explanation of these notions, and argues that personhood is not merely an ethical principle, but an integral part of vulnerability to mental illness. In other words, ethics and questions of norms and values are not merely a bioethical add-on to psychiatry, but an integral part of what it means to do psychiatry. Being a person is to be faced with the constant task of becoming who I am through the otherness that constitutes my life as a person. Otherness challenges my life from without (e.g., the way other people understand and treat me) and from within (e.g., my body, habits, and dispositions). Although a major aspect of personal identity is constituted by otherness, a person is able, nevertheless, to change her habits, think about her dispositions, and reconsider her actions. This ability to relate ourselves to what and who we are is constitutive of personhood and of the fragility that makes each of us the person that we are.
