Abstract

SANTOS, Eder Soares. Philosophical developments from Winnicott. Nat. hum. [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.2, pp.174-188. ISSN 1517-2430.

The objective is to develop the philosophical developments that Winnicott's theory of personal maturation has to offer to illuminate reflections pertinent to philosophy. The elected concepts for the discussion are human nature, continuity of being, and self. After going through these interchangeable concepts, the notion of codependent arising will be used, showing that relationality, care and reliability provide a support for the understanding of being in the world; for the existence of a self that does not arise as something or a property that rests on something else.

Keywords : Winnicott; Human Nature; Codependent Arising; Relationality.
