[The proposed course aims to offer a general introduction to Daseinsanalyse, an approach to psychopathology inaugurated in the early 1930s by Swiss psychiatrist Ludwig Binswanger (1881-1966). This perspective laid the foundations for an epistemological reflection on mental illness by adopting certain methodological assumptions and concepts derived from the thought of Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger. At the origin of the anthropological turn that Binswanger intends to imprint on the psychiatry of his time, there is the question of how to reconcile the historicity, the singularity of the sick person with the demands of science. In other words: how is it possible to scientifically explain the singular, the subjective element of pathology that escapes the universalist claims of scientific discourse? In order to address this question, Binswanger's essays and works from the 1930s to the 1950s will be considered, in particular the clinical cases explored by the psychiatrist in the 1940s.]
