5th Creph Annual Seminar 2011: Passivity: At the crossroads of phenomenology and psychology

University of Liège, 2-6 May 2011

The research seminar in phenomenology is an activity of the FNRS Doctoral School. Organized over a whole week, it aims at stimulating collaborative research, open to original contributions from Belgian and foreign researchers and academics.

Presentation of the topic: How and to what extent can phenomenology, while doing justice to a certain autonomy of consciousness (as a free and responsible instance in respect to theoretical and practical reason), integrate the findings of empirical psychology, which instead highlights the laws and other determinisms which weigh on mental life: associations and other passive syntheses, habitus, tendencies, interests, unconscious forces, etc.? Detailed presentation (in French) [52 Kb]

Invited speakers

Room: Salle de l'Horloge (University of Liège, Central Building, Place du Vingt-Août, Aile des Jésuites, 2nd mezzanine).
