"Psychopathology should make clear what we know, how we know, and
what we do not know. " "ffYoU thinkyou could eliminate philosophy,
and regard it as something irrele- vant it will overwhelm you in
some obscure tDsguise. This is the point where that bulk of bad
philosophy in psychopathological studies originates. " KARL JASPERS
Since the publication of KARL JASPERS' General Psychopathology in
1913 at least, it has become obvious that a psychopathologist
cannot do without philosophical reflection. If he wants to say
anything about disorders of perception and thought, or of the
experiencing I, to name the subjects of this book, he must know
those disorders and the problems related to them. The phenomena and
problems in question are not at all simply empirical (which is to
say that they concern the structure and function of the organs of
sense or the central nervous system), but conceptual. We have
already formed some notions and prejudices concerning those
subjects - perception, e. g. , is considered to be "a projection
from the outside into the inward", thinking "a kind of inward
talk", the I refers to "reflec- ting upon me by myself', etc.
Unless we think about these ideas critically, we shall fail in
describing disorders of experience, thought, and action.
