Discipline Filosofiche, 2, 2018, ed. By Anna Bortolan and Alessandro Salice
Affective experience has been extensively investigated within the phenomenological tradition, often through productive synergies with research on the nature of emotions, subjectivity, sociality, ethics, and aesthetics carried out in analytic philosophy of mind and the cognitive sciences. In both classical and contemporary phenomenology, such an investigation has been closely connected with the exploration of the disturbances of experience characteristic of various forms of psychopathology. In this context, particular attention has been devoted to the experiential alterations which mark depression and schizophrenia, but also other forms of psychiatric illness have been researched, e.g. anxiety, anorexia nervosa, borderline personality disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Within this framework, a plurality of issues have been identified and are currently being discussed. These include the relationship between affective disturbances and disruptions of selfhood and self-consciousness; the distinction between emotions, moods, bodily and existential feelings and the different ways in which they may be altered in psychopathology; the role of self-conscious affects such as shame and guilt in the experience of depressed patients; the connection between affectivity, cognition, and action and the way in which it can be disrupted; affective regulation disturbances; the relationship between affectivity, language, and narrativity and its possible alterations. Aiming to contribute to, and further develop, current debates in this domain, we invite papers from any philosophical perspective addressing the various aspects of the relationship between affective experience and psychopathology.
