Un néo-‐‑nominalisme exubérant

Abstract

This article (a chapter of a book in progress : L’être sauvage et le signifiant), deals with an aspect of the specific contribution of Marc Richir’s thought to psychopathology. My intention is to show that this very singular phenomenological thought allows to carry out a critique of a neo-‐‑nominalism that caracterizes several contemporary approaches of psychopathology, particularly Serge Viderman’s, author of La construction de l’espace analytique, published in 1970, which remains today a major reference for many analysts. Lacanism is also covered, for another reason, and even phenomenological psychiatry, for a third order of reasons.
