Morbid objectivization in psychopathology

The fundamental problems of schizophrenia are wrongly formulated unless one takes heed of the major philosophical revolution which Kant initiated with the publication of the Critique of Pure Reason in 1781. Virtually all major philosophers since then have adhered to the view that the mind objectifies whatever energy fields/atoms, etc., are 'out there'. The thesis put forward in this lecture will be that schizophrenia is a condition in which this process proceeds too far. Evidence from the psychopathology of body, time and world is offered in support of such morbid objectivization.
