Child cancer, suffering and transformation. A phenomenological essay. Rio de Janeiro: Via Verita 2022, 176 p. https://revistas.udea.edu.co/index.php/estudios_de_filosofia/article/view/355335 <p>The author presents an essay in the field of pathological phenomenology from a naturalized approach to phenomenology through various phenomenological research methodologies. Taking into account the rule of mutual illumination, the conceptualization of the structure of the childhood cancer experience is put into dialogue with empirical research. The concepts of existential suffering and transformational experience involved in the illness experience are analyzed and the dynamic modal structure of the illness process is addressed. A position of ontological pluralism is adopted, differentiating the ways of being from organic processes and existential processes. The essay explains its limitations and scope, proposing its continuation with research on the dynamics of existential feelings to account for the structure of modal processes.</p> Alejandro Laregina Copyright (c) 2022 Estudios de Filosofía https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://revistas.udea.edu.co/index.php/estudios_de_filosofia/article/view/355335 Fri, 21 Jun 2024 00:00:00 -0500 Aliseda, A., Calderón, C. M. y Villanueva, M. (2022) Filosofía de la medicina: discusiones y aportaciones desde México. Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Instituto de Investigaciones Filosóficas. https://revistas.udea.edu.co/index.php/estudios_de_filosofia/article/view/356640 <p>In this anthology of works, the reader is offered an interdisciplinary dialogue under the rubric of a philosophy of medicine. The preparation of this work has been possible thanks to the versatile contributions that the Seminar on Epistemology of Health Sciences (SECS) welcomed in its transversal program: where it was about articulating what we have been calling a philosophy of medicine in concrete and a philosophy of health sciences in general. With the purpose of placing the philosophy of medicine within the set of fields that can be assigned to the health sciences, this anthology is divided into four blocks in which it appears: the thematic horizon of the philosophy of medicine, an analysis exhaustive on the methodological approach in the health sciences, the state of the art on the debates surrounding the definition of the disease and the detailed study of the assumptions of the biomedical model. In this first block: <span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>Filosofía de la medicina: estado del arte</em></span></span></span>, the task of answering a series of questions that allows delimiting the map of this field of research with respect to others. What makes the philosophy of medicine an autonomous field of research? What is the set of problems that the philosophy of medicine addresses? What subfields currently make up this discipline? The second block that makes up this anthology begins with the study of the epistemology and methodology of health sciences. Atocha Aliseda, Rodrigo Itzamna Fuentes and Fernanda Samaniego will carry out in their works a tentative, but methodologically suggestive task, of highlighting specific cognitive activities for solving problems in clinical terrain. <span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>Sobre la caracterización de enfermedad: disfunción biológica y sobrediagnóstico</em></span></span></span> is the title of our third block; where Mariana Salcedo and Adriana Murguía analyze the different debates that have arisen about the concept - so elusive - of illness. The fourth and final block is divided between the works of Marcia Villanueva, David Fajardo-Chica and David Servín Hernández, in which it will meditate on dehumanization in the practice of medicine, suffering at the end of life and the practice clinic in the current biomedical model.</p> Alberto Guzmán-Janeiro Copyright (c) 2022 Alberto Guzmán Janeiro https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://revistas.udea.edu.co/index.php/estudios_de_filosofia/article/view/356640 Fri, 21 Jun 2024 00:00:00 -0500 Introduction: Disease, illness, sickness, philosophical perspectives https://revistas.udea.edu.co/index.php/estudios_de_filosofia/article/view/357130 Andrés Francisco Contreras Sánchez, Agata J.

I engage in the question whether pain is necessarily a conscious experience. I begin by clarifyng the Husserlian concept of sedimentation and I show how this concept helps us understand the temporal structures of pain experience. The exploration of sedimented, implicit experiences is first analyzed phenomenologically, drawing mainly on Husserl’s C <em>Manuscripts</em>. It is then applied to different medical cases, highlighting the paradoxical force of the past in the experience of pain. I further show that, in another sense, anticipation also shapes painful experiences. The recognition of these aporetic situations in the experience of pain, analyzed along with two types of consciousness, explicit and implicit, raises the further question of whether it is possible to experience “unnoticed pain” in the present. This phenomenon can be explained based on Merleau-Ponty's distinction between original sedimentations and secondary sedimentations; these first ones, apparently contradictory, can nevertheless be interpreted as conscious in the modality of inattention. While both thematic and co-attended experiences belong to the arc of intentionality, unnoticed pain has a significantly more complex structure</p> Saulius Geniusas Copyright (c) 2022 Saulius Geniusas https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://revistas.udea.edu.co/index.php/estudios_de_filosofia/article/view/355952 Fri, 21 Jun 2024 00:00:00 -0500 Process Ontology of Illness and Personal Identity https://revistas.udea.edu.co/index.php/estudios_de_filosofia/article/view/355799 <p>We aim to argue for a processual conception of ill-person-identity. To do so, we will review some of the main answers that philosophy has provided to the question of personal identity. We will also review certain proposals on how to conceive illness and ill-person-identity. Within a processual approach to ontology, we will focus on a non-dualistic processual-relational interpretation of biological organisms.</p> Mariana Cordoba, Fiorela Alassia, Gonzalo Pérez-Marc Copyright (c) 2022 Mariana Córdoba, Fiorela Alassia, Gonzalo Pérez Marc, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://revistas.udea.edu.co/index.php/estudios_de_filosofia/article/view/355799 Fri, 21 Jun 2024 00:00:00 -0500 Lived body and experience of illness: a phenomenological approach https://revistas.udea.edu.co/index.php/estudios_de_filosofia/article/view/355095 <p>This article aims to show how the development of a phenomenology of the lived body is of special interest for a philosophical elucidation of the illness that takes charge of the patient’s perspective in its specific theoretical relevance. Starting from a critique of the Cartesian paradigm of the body-machine and the consequent de-emphasis of the personal experience of the disease, it will be shown how the phenomenological perspective allows us to account for the constituent elements of the illness experienced in the first person, such as alteration or disintegration of the link I-body-world-others. Finally, the question of the physical, emotional and cognitive response to the disease and how phenomenological reflections on the disease converge in a reflection on identity, vulnerability, and recognition will be addressed.</p> Xavier Escribano Copyright (c) 2022 Estudios de Filosofía https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://revistas.udea.edu.co/index.php/estudios_de_filosofia/article/view/355095 Fri, 21 Jun 2024 00:00:00 -0500 Metaphors matter: Unraveling three essential propositions https://revistas.udea.edu.co/index.php/estudios_de_filosofia/article/view/355494 <p>This article delves into the significance and role of metaphors in shaping knowledge, perceptions, and decisions within the healthcare domain. Through a critical analysis of their impact, particularly in the dynamics between healthcare professionals and patients, three dimensions are proposed for unraveling their significance: the political dimension views metaphors as agents of power and tools for legitimizing inequalities; the cultural dimension sees them as cultural residues challenging prevailing biomedical knowledge; and the ethical dimension raises questions about the moral implications of the constructed narratives. This holistic approach aims to enhance our understanding of the intricate interplay between language, cognition, and disease, ultimately advocating for more comprehensive approaches in healthcare.</p> Diego Meza Copyright (c) 2022 Diego Meza Gavilanes https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://revistas.udea.edu.co/index.php/estudios_de_filosofia/article/view/355494 Fri, 21 Jun 2024 00:00:00 -0500 Commentary on “The epistemic harms of empathy in phenomenological psychopathology” by Lucienne Spencer and Matthew Broome https://revistas.udea.edu.co/index.php/estudios_de_filosofia/article/view/355491 <p>This paper presents a critical commentary on the article “The Epistemic Harms of Empathy in Phenomenological Psychopathology” by Lucienne Spencer and Matthew Broome (2023). The authors committed the “fallacy of ambiguous or vague definition” by incorrectly interpreting Karl Jaspers’ conceptualizations, resulting in difficulties following logical arguments and arriving at reasonable conclusions. To overcome this fallacy, the commentary provides conceptual clarifications regarding Jaspers’ empathic understand-ing (einfühlendes Verstehen), which was conceived as the foundational concept of his project to develop a phenomenologically oriented psychopathology. Jaspers initially introduced this concept in the article “Die phänomenologische Forschungsrichtung in der Psychopathologie” [The Phenomenological Research Direction in Psychopathology], published in 1912, and extended in his magnum opus “Allgemeine Psychopathologie” [General Psychopathology], published in 1913.</p> Leonor Irarrázaval Copyright (c) 2022 Leonor Irarrázaval https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://revistas.udea.edu.co/index.php/estudios_de_filosofia/article/view/355491 Fri, 21 Jun 2024 00:00:00 -0500 From bodily self-awareness to the experience of otherness in one's own body: the case of somatoparaphrenia. https://revistas.udea.edu.co/index.php/estudios_de_filosofia/article/view/355336 <p>Patients with somatoparaphrenia articulate a disavowal of ownership over a extremity. In philosophy somatoparaphrenia serves as a focal point for discussions concerning the intricacies of self-awareness, specifically the sense of ownership inherent in all mental experiences. Additionally, this disorder prompts reflections on bodily self-awareness, namely, the perception of a body part as an integral component of bodily spatiality. I extend beyond conventional discussions, positing that somatoparaphrenia introduces an anomalous intercorporeal dimension. Diverging from other pathologies associated with bodily spatiality, in somatoparaphrenia the subject establishes a sense of otherness beyond the confines of their organic body: the alien extremity becomes ascribed to another. The exposition is done in two parts. First, I engage in philosophical discourse on bodily awareness, utilizing somatoparaphrenia as an illustrative example. Subsequently, I discuss the issue of otherness within somatoparaphrenia, elucidating the rationale behind conceptualizing this disorder as an intercorporeal experience.</p> Maria Clara Garavito Copyright (c) 2022 Maria Clara Garavito https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://revistas.udea.edu.co/index.php/estudios_de_filosofia/article/view/355336 Fri, 21 Jun 2024 00:00:00 -0500 Disconnection from self and distance https://revistas.udea.edu.co/index.php/estudios_de_filosofia/article/view/355588 <p>This article analyzes self-disconnection as a phenomenological characterization of a destructive disease such as Alzheimer’s. In the most extreme cases of its development, we want to show that the patient sinks into emotional disengagement because of the destructive plasticity that affects her. This isolation implies an emotional challenge for family members who observe that their loved one has become disconnected and that they cannot do anything to prevent it. However, family members seek to assist their loved one in her marginalization. The scope of this accompaniment reveals the human experience of consolation as an intersubjective response to this disconnection. The analysis of this disconnection reveals, paradoxically, the human need to put distance in the face of extreme suffering and, at the same time, shows its limit. The anthropological analysis of the devices of <em>actio per distans</em> can offer transcendental support to the ethics of tenderness in the face of the experience of illness</p> Luis Fernando Cardona-Suárez Copyright (c) 2022 Luis Fernando Cardona Suárez https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://revistas.udea.edu.co/index.php/estudios_de_filosofia/article/view/355588 Fri, 21 Jun 2024 00:00:00 -0500 Neonatal pediatric suffering: limits of the phenomenology of suffering? https://revistas.udea.edu.co/index.php/estudios_de_filosofia/article/view/355671 <p>Neonatal suffering has been the focus of recent debates in pediatric bioethics and suffering theory. How can we access and conceptualize the suffering that can be attributed to newborns? How are we to discern the suffering of newborns who are non-neurotypical and may have short lives and severe neurocognitive disabilities, in addition to being entirely dependent on people or life-sustaining technologies? Phenomenology has provided valuable tools for analyzing the human experiences of suffering, but its application to neonatal suffering comes with fundamental challenges. In this paper, I consider recent contributions for elucidating the phenomenon of neonatal suffering, especially those in the field of non-experiential theories of suffering. Based on this review, a recent phenomenological approach to suffering is examined. Explicitly directed toward narrative persons, that approach appears to be inherently limited in elucidating the phenomenon of neonatal pediatric suffering. A suggestion is offered for partially elaborating the theoretical foundations of a phenomenological theory of neonatal suffering. This suggestion points towards a program for a phenomenology of the existential feelings of newborns.</p> Róbson Ramos-dos-Reis Copyright (c) 2022 Róbson Ramos dos Reis https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://revistas.udea.edu.co/index.php/estudios_de_filosofia/article/view/355671 Fri, 21 Jun 2024 00:00:00 -0500 Richir and the transcendental origin of the dissociative experience (Spaltung) https://revistas.udea.edu.co/index.php/estudios_de_filosofia/article/view/355492 <p>Phenomenology describes the transcendental structures of human experience within its constant relationship with the world. Moments such as affectivity, temporality, corporeality, spatiality, and intersubjectivity thus constitute key elements within this ap-proach. In this context, the following contribution aims to describe an experience of great importance in the works circumscribed in phenomenological psychopathology, namely, the experience of dissociation (<em>Spaltung</em>). To achieve this task, our article will have three moments. First, it will present a phenomenological description of the <em>lived body (Leib)</em>. Second, considering Marc Richir’s philosophy, it will outline a genetic phenomenology that reveals the first constitution of the body schema during childhood through <em>Phantasy’s</em> labor. Finally, it will present a genetic phenomenology of the lived body that sheds light on the<em> transcendental origin</em> of the dissociative experience</p> Bryan Zúñiga Copyright (c) 2022 Bryan Francisco Zúñiga https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://revistas.udea.edu.co/index.php/estudios_de_filosofia/article/view/355492 Fri, 21 Jun 2024 00:00:00 -0500 Circumstance anguish: an iatrophilosophical model for depresalgia. https://revistas.udea.edu.co/index.php/estudios_de_filosofia/article/view/355349 <p>“Iatrophilosophy” is defined as the translational discipline between medicine and philosophy with a double objective, theoretical and practical. This paper presents a model of practical iatrophilosophy applied to chronic pain associated with depression and stress—depresalgia—, that expands Phenomenologic, Hermeneutic, Dynamic Psychotherapy (PHD) to the general medical field. It starts from the general model of the medical triad - disease, illness, and sickness- and, in the horizon of Ortega’s anthropology, five nuclear metaphors are proposed: greed of the body, anguish of circumstance, personal tear, personal knots, and personal expropriation. These metaphors are related to the neurobiological mechanisms of central sensitization, allostasis, and alteration of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. A personal recovery process based on therapeutic concord is proposed. Analyzing chronic pain and other complex health problems can benefit from philosophical methodologies such as clinical hermeneutics.</p> Martín L. Vargas-Aragón Copyright (c) 2022 Martín L.
