AB - The purpose of this paper is to elucidate the possibilities and limitations of psychiatry in Hegel's anthropology by comparing it to the psychology of meaning in Jaspers’ General Psychopathology. Jaspers uses phenomenology, which Hegel uses to elucidate mental phenomena in consciousness, history, and religion, but limits it to the narrow scope of individual mental experience. While not everything that happens to humans as a result of mental illness can be understood academically, Jaspers views psychopathology as an inquiry into the pathology of the mind, as well as an inquiry into the mind as it works normally.
This paper argues that Hegel's method and system of exploring the universal forms of the human psyche does not directly enable the kind of psychiatry envisioned by Jaspers in anthropology, but it can indirectly contribute to it. Jaspers sees an important task in psychopathology as exploring meaningful connections that are mediated by abnormal mechanisms. He believes that abnormal mechanisms can be understood by comparing them to normal extraconscious mechanisms such as psychogenic reactions, memories, habits, dreams, and suggestions. However, it is not possible to know how these extra-conscious mechanisms work. Hegel's anthropology attempts to uncover the inevitable inner connection of the forms of the mind that Jaspers refers to as extraconscious mechanisms.
