Abstract

The article addresses the problem of the temporality of consciousness in the context of philosophical psychopathology and the temporal metaphor of subjectivity (the metaphor of effort). The possibility of constructing a metamodel of temporality based on retention, cinematographic, and extensional models is discussed. Special attention is given to the idea of the intentional arc, which underlies contemporary phenomenological models of mental pathology. The article shows how an analysis of disruptions in the temporality of consciousness in mental disorders can lead to key issues in philosophical anthropology.
