Ludwig Binswanger and Fernand Deligny on the Human Condition

Stéphane Symons is Full Professor of Aesthetics and Philosophy of Culture at the University of Leuven, Belgium.

"In Stéphane Symons’s book, compiled in the form of four articles, the subject of the human condition is tackled from the point of view of the two different approaches to psychiatry of Swiss psychiatrist and pioneer of existential therapy … . In putting forward its original scope of exploring unrealized possibilities, the book also serves as a good introduction to the work of both protagonists, especially Deligny, because much of his work remains untranslated into English."
