Depuis quelques années, j'ai orienté mes intérêts vers trois principales pistes. La première consiste en une intervention critique sur la phénoménologie herméneutique depuis Heidegger. J'ai interrogé le prétendu «tournant théologique» de la phénoménologie française des vingt-cinq dernières années sans trancher quant à sa validité. Quelle relation ce tournant entretient-il avec l'herméneutique de la rencontre avec autrui de Levinas? Cette question en implique d'autres : que signifie une lecture «séculière» de Levinas? Comment cette dernière se distingue-t-elle d'une lecture façonnée par la pensée juive? La seconde piste de mes recherches poursuit le «destin» de certains concepts philosophiques et psychologiques ( Affektus , Leidenschaft , Seele ) suite à la révolution kantienne et en considérant l'émergence de la neurologie et de la psychiatrie matérialistes en Europe, surtout en France et en Allemagne. Ce questionnement fait partie d'un travail de longue haleine sur la sensibilité considérée à partir de 1813 (cf. Hegel, La philosophie de l'esprit ). La troisième piste approfondit mes recherches en psychanalyse freudienne et, avant tout, sa réception française (Lacan, Pontalis, Laplanche, Kristeva, les Mannoni). Il s'agit d'un domaine comportant de multiples influences et ressorts. Un des intérêts majeurs de la psychologie française, qui d'ailleurs a émergé bien avant l'essor de la psychanalyse lacanienne, réside dans ses deux tentatives, partagés ou contestés, de traiter avec le matérialisme hérité du XVIIIe siècle (cf. J-M. Charcot, P. Janet). Mais l'intérêt principal de cette psychologie tient dans son effort de perpétuer un questionnement philosophique au sein du discours psychologique lui-même (cf. M. Pradines et M. Merleau-Ponty). Formation 1987-1995 Boston University . Presidential University Fellow. Ph.D. in Philosophy.
