JOHNSON, Felipe. The Problematic Organic Dimension of Human Body: on Limits Between Heidegger’s Analitic of Dasein and Boss’ Daseins Analysis. arete [online]. 2017, vol.29, n.2, pp.305-331. ISSN 1016-913X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18800/arete.201702.004.

This paper aims to discuss the limits between Medard Boss’ Daseins analysis and Martin Heidegger’s Analytic of Dasein. Taking as starting point the appearance of human organic dimension by Boss’ reflections, it will be discussed how an opposition comes to light between its respective thematic inflections, that is, by both philosophical and psychological considerations of human being. Thus, such opposition will be clarified delving into the motivations of both programs, to highlight them as its inherent limits. Finally, understanding these motivations as its limits, this paper proposes that this insistence of organics in Boss’ psychology would point to problems which could still become relevant to Heidegger’s existential analytic itself.

Keywords : existence; living body; organic body; limit; Heidegger; Boss.
