Análise fenomenológico-existencial do suicídio a partir da revisão de literatura

Abstract

Suicide has always been an unresolved issue for the sciences that study man, each one with his owns perspective of the phenomenon. For Albert Camus, suicide is the only serious problem in philosophy; the fundamental question is whether life worths it or not. Jean-Paul Sartre considers individual responsibility for such an act. Both philosophers reflect on the meaning of life, or lack thereof, which permeates the question of eliminating life itself. Other thinkers, such as the sociologist Émile Durkheim, consider it a social phenomenon exclusively. This study discusses the multifactorial nature of suicide from the perspective of phenomenological psychology, combining the philosophical sciences with the social sciences, based on a review of the published literature on the subject. The themes are discussed from the phenomenological perspective of Martin Heidegger, given its possibility of welcoming the multiple contributions of science, without interference from pre-established theories about man
