Dissolution and enchantment on Erwin Straus' phenomenology of obsession* * This text derives from an essay published, in a very different form, as Chapter V of my book Follia come scrittura di mondo. Saggi su Minkowski, Straus, Kuhn (Jaca Book, Milano 2001). Many thanks to the publisher, and to Mrs Judy Baggot for her kind suggestions for this English translation.

The author presents Erwin Straus’ psychopathology of phoby and obsession (with reference to his texts On Obsession, Phenomenology of Hallucinations, and Vom Sinn der Sinne), bringing to light the implications concerning the role of language and gesture in the consistution (and the crisis) of the experiences of subjectivity and objectivity.
