title: [Ontology and pathical existence. On the philosophical-medical anthropology of Victor von Weizsäcker].
abstract: In his medical-philosophical anthropology Weizsäcker claims the introduction of the subject into the sciences insofar as they deal with man. In contrast to modern Cartisianism subjectivity is defined as pathical existence and this again considered as a polarity of activity and suffering. The manifold of the phenomena of disease and pain shows the frontiers of pure functionalism and the principle of causality in a theory of the living. Such a theory demands a principle of complementarity for the relation between being and subjectivity, between ontology and pathosophy.
