Existential Groundings and Self-Organisation: Unravelling Psychopathological Helplessness in the Context of Positive Psychology through Heidegger and Autopoiesis

The chapter explores Heidegger's view on the body within the framework of enactivism, focusing on Autopoiesis and Embodied cognition. It analyzes how our conceptualization of the body influences our experiences, particularly delving into the sense of helplessness. Moving from Heidegger's philosophy to a naturalistic approach, it seeks to bridge the gap between phenomenology and the philosophy of biology, shedding light on the transformative nature of Dasein's existential shift.
