Aus der Beschäftigung mit der Philosophie Heideggers schuf der Züricher Psychiater Medard Boss (1903-1990) ein umfassendes Werk, insbesondere auf dem Gebiet der Traumdeutung, der sexuellen Perversionen sowie eine eigene Systematik einer "daseinsanalytischen" Psychopathologie. Zu weltweiter Berühmtheit gelangten die "Zollikoner Seminare", in denen der philosophisch-psychiatrische Dialog auf eine breitere Basis gestellt und Heidegger Boss regelmäßig in seinem Haus in Zollikon besuchte, um dort mit Ärzten, Psychologen und Studenten ins Gespräch über seine Philosophie und ihr Verhältnis zur Medizin zu kommen. Leben und Werk von Medard Boss zeigen die Möglichkeiten auf, die ein Dialog zwischen Psychiatrie und Philosophie eröffnen kann. Angesichts der zahlreichen ethischen Fragestellungen und Probleme, die die moderne Medizin mit ihrem rasanten technischen Fortschritt aufwirft, könnte ein solcher interdisziplinärer Dialog neue Aktualität gewinnen.

No novelist could have invented a more colorful or interesting story than the travels and adventures of French explorers Medard Chouart, Sieur des Groseilliers, and Pierre Esprit Radisson. Yet until the publication of this book in 1943, the story of their lives was clouded by confusion and misinformation. It remained for Grace Les Nute to clear up the confusion and present the story in such a logical and entertaining way that this book, long out of print, has become a classic. In a style that satisfies both the general reader and the historian, Caesars of the Wilderness reconstructs the lives of the two men, documenting their origins in France, their early years as fur traders in the Great Lakes area, their many trips between France and England and Europe and North America, and other aspects of their far-flung careers. The role of the two men in founding the Hudson's Bay Company, which inaugurated a new phase of the fur trade leading ultimately to the full development of western Canada, is also described in fascinating detail. Later chapters unravel the complications of the English-French diplomacy during the 1670's and 1680's and describe their influence on the shifting loyalties of both Radisson and Des Groseilliers.

uring the period between the publication of Pierre Esprit Radisson's Voyages by the Prince Society of Boston in 1885 and the appearance of Caesars of the Wilderness in 1943, scholarly journals and books were often enlivened by the historical controversy surrounding Radisson and his fellow explorer, Medard Chouart, Sieur Des Groseilliers. Often referred to as the "Radisson problem," the controversy called into question almost every aspect of the two men's lives, from the authenticity of parts of Radisson's narrative to the exact itinerary the men followed in their travels.The publication of Caesars in the Wilderness brought the historical debate to an end. Based on many years of research in repositories throughout France, England, and North America, the books, with its skillful presentation of new evidence, settled many of the questions that had long puzzled scholars.

In the midst of the fierce controversies raging in France over the papal bull Unigenitus, worshipers at the tomb of a revered Jansenist deacon in Paris's Saint-Médard cemetery witnessed a variety of miraculous occurrences. These well-publicized events led to the emergence of a cult that came to affect and be affected by the most furious religious debate of the eighteenth-century. Professor Kreiser provides a full and objective account of the conflicts surrounding this unsanctioned cult, which remained a major cause célèbre in ecclesiastical politics for nearly a decade.The author details the intricate relationships between Church and State and broadens our awareness of the political implications of popular religion during the ancien régime. His wide-ranging book is the first account of the Saint-Médard episode to deal with this affair in its multiple contexts. At stake was more than acceptance of the papal bull, whose political history the author discusses. Also involved, as he shows, were fundamental questions about the nature of miracles, conflicts between episcopal and priestly authority, the unwelcome intrusions of the papacy in the affairs of the Gallican Church, and struggles among the crown, the Parlement of Paris, and the French episcopate for control over ecclesiastical affairs.Originally published in 1978.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Despite their importance during the French Revolution, the Paris middle classes are little known. This book focuses on the family organization and the political role of the Paris commercial middle classes, using as a case study the Faubourg St. Marcel and particularly the parish of St. Médard.David Garrioch argues that in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries the commercial middle classes were steadfastly local in their family ties and outlook. He shows, too, that they took independent political action in defense of their local position. This gradually changed during the eighteenth century, and the Revolution greatly accelerated the process of integration, at the same time broadening the composition of what may now be termed the Parisian bourgeoisie.Central to Garrioch's argument is the idea that family, politics, and power are intimately connected. He shows the centrality of kinship to local politics in the first half of the eighteenth century, and the way new family structures were related to changes in the nature of politics even before the Revolution. Among the many important issues considered are birth control, the role of women, the importance of lineage, the spatial limits of middle-class lives, and the language and secularization of politics.

Daseinsanalysis - the psychiatric and psychotherapeutic school of thought founded by Ludwig Binswanger and Medard Boss in the 1940s - had a huge impact on the development of existential therapies in the English-speaking world. This highly stimulating and lucid book gives a critical overview of the daseinsanalytic concepts of Binswanger and Boss and explains their key differences. Author Alice Holzhey-Kunz gives a systematic account of a new approach to mental suffering - based on Kierkegaard, Heidegger, and Sartre - that never loses sight of Freud's fundamental insight into the hidden meaning of apparently senseless neurotic symptoms. She goes on to demonstrate that mental suffering is a 'suffering from our own being' before considering the therapeutic implications of the existential view of mental suffering, concluding that Freud's three technical rules provide the optimal conditions for understanding and engaging with these baffling existential experiences.

This volume critiques the increasingly reductive, objectifying, and technologized orientation in mainstream biomedicine. Drawing on the methods of hermeneutic phenomenology and existential analysis in the work of Martin Heidegger, Kurt Goldstein, Medard Boss, and Hans-Georg Gadamer, the author seeks to expose this lacuna and explore the ways in which it misrepresents (or misunderstands) the human condition. Whitehead begins by examining the core distinction in the sociology of medicine between “disease” and “illness” and how this distinction maps onto a more fundamental distinction between the corporeal/objective body and the experiential/lived body. Ultimately, the book exposes the tendency in modern medicine to medicalize the human condition and forwards a reorientation framed by what the author terms “existential health psychology.”

Long awaited and eagerly anticipated, this remarkable volume allows English-speaking readers to experience a profound dialogue between the German philosopher Martin Heidegger and the Swiss psychiatrist Medard Boss. A product of their warm friendship, Zollikon Seminars chronicles an extraordinary exchange of ideas. Heidegger strove to transcend the bounds of philosophy while Boss and his colleagues in the scientific community sought to understand their patients and their world. The result: the best and clearest introduction to Heidegger's philosophy available.Boss approached Heidegger asking for help in reflective thinking on the nature of Heidegger's work. Soon they were holding annual two-week meetings in Boss's home in Zollikon, Switzerland. The protocols from these seminars, recorded by Boss and reviewed, corrected, and supplemented by Heidegger himself, make up one part of this volume. They are augmented by Boss's record of the conversations he had with Heidegger in the days between seminars and by excerpts from the hundreds of letters the philosopher wrote to Boss between 1947 and 1971.

In den Jahren zwischen 1959 und 1969 lud der Psychiater Medard Boss Martin Heidegger elf Mal in die Gemeinde Zollikon am Zurichsee ein, um dort in privaten Seminaren die sogenannte "Daseinsanalyse" zu entwickeln. Heidegger ergriff die Moglichkeit, ausgehend von Sein und Zeit seine Uberlegungen zum "Dasein" im unmittelbaren Kontakt mit Psychiatern, Psychotherapeuten und Psychoanalytikern zu prufen. Fragen nach der Zeit-, Raum- und Leiblichkeit des "Daseins" werden besprochen, ebenso die aufkommende Kybernetik und ihr Einfluss auf die Psychologie. Der Band 89 der Gesamtausgabe enthalt anders als die von Medard Boss herausgegebene Einzelausgabe der Zollikoner Seminare samtliches Vorbereitungsmaterial aus Heideggers Nachlass. Daraus ist zu ersehen, dass Heidegger sich viel tiefer mit Fragen der Psychologie beschaftigt hat, als bisher zu erkennen war.

The life of Medard Aribot of Martinique óartist, convict, madman, legend óspans much of the twentieth century. Born in 1901 when slavery was a living memory, Medard was allegedly sent to a French penal colony for carving a bust of a colonial official that rioters hoisted overhead during a 1925 massacre. Today, the peculiar house he built for himself late in life is a major tourist attraction in Martinique. With an exciting combination of scholarship and storytelling, award-winning anthropologist Richard Price takes us on a search for the real Medard. Using the Diamant massacre and the life of Aribot as emblems of Martinique's transition from a colonial society to a modern society, the author shows how the fishing village he encountered on his first trip to Martinique in 1962 has been transformed by a heavily assisted welfare-based consumer economy. And Medard, whose life was once a subversive symbol of anticolonial sentiment, has been silenced by contemporary myths . . . or has he? Part historical mystery, part biography, part cultural studies, The Convict and the Colonel is a fascinating story of a society in transition and the role of the prophetic figure in historical memory."Price quotes a phrase from colleague Sidney Mintz about the kind of anthropology that is 'at the fault line between the large and the little.' In this intellectually daring book, he gets as close to the fault line as possible."--Publishers Weekly
