Abstract
In the Summer of 1965, some months after I first met Erwin Straus and his confidant and collaborator, the late Richard Griffith, I was privileged to participate and work in their research setting in Lexington, Kentucky, a city now celebrated as the home of the Lexington Conferences on Pure and Applied Phenomenology, the fifth of which convened in 1972.2 On the occasion of my visit I began my own compilation and personal study of Professor Straus’ complete writings,3 beginning with ‘Zur Pathogenese des chronischen Morphinismus’ [10], his inaugural dissertation, published in 1919 upon attaining his doctorate in medicine at the Friedrich Wilhelms University in Berlin.
Originally presented as ‘Lived-Bodily Categories: The Constitution of I-Allon’ at the Sixty-Sixth Annual Meeting of the Southern Society for Philosophy and Psychology, Tampa, Florida on April 12, 1974 at a Colloquy in Honor of Erwin Straus. Later it was revised as ‘The Psychiatrist as Philosopher’ and read before the menmbers of the Department of Psychiatry, State University of New Your, Upstate Medical Center, Syracuse, New York on October 31, 1974.
