Structural anthropology remains a hidden influence in Frantz Fanon’s theory of the ‘sociogenesis’ mental illness. This chapter outlines how belief therapeutic capacity ‘socialization’ critically absorbs Claude Lévi-Strauss’s examination link between ‘madness’ and symbolic structure society. These innovations, Chamberlin argues, pushed Fanon to institute ‘semi-hospitalization’ as radically diale...

The French psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan (1901-1981) started his exploration of the human mind because during his work he discovered that there were certain cases that could not be explained somatically. In order to understand psychiatrist patients, it was not enough to understand the human body, but also the condition in general. As that other doctor, Freud, had encountered the ...

The recent discovery of an interpretation of constructive type theory into abstract homotopy theory suggests a new approach to the foundations of mathematics with intrinsic geometric content and a computational implementation. Voevodsky has proposed such a program, including a new axiom with both geometric and logical significance: the Univalence Axiom. It captures the familiar aspect of inform...

This form of structuralism has been subject to criticisms recently, and our view is that the problems raised are resolved by proper, mathematics-free theoretical foundations. Starting with an axiomatic theory of abstract objects, we identify a mathematic...
