| الوصف: | International audience ; Horwitz and Wakefield (2007) formulated an explanatory model of depression aspathological sadness in order to distinguish between normal depressive episodes which would benormal sadness, and pathological depressive episodes which would be pathological sadness. They relyon evolutionism: sadness is pathological when, besides being harmful, it is dysfunctional in the sensethat it does not fulfill its adaptive function namely allowing the reparation of a loss. But it is notobvious how we can interpret objectively such a dysfunction of sadness that is how we cancharacterize a sadness that does not fulfill its function of allowing the reparation of a loss: Is it asadness that erroneously informs us that we lost something or about the significance of what we lost?Is it a sadness that motivates us to a behavior that does not manage to repair this loss? I’m relying onphilosophy of emotions to make an original critique of the “pathological sadness” model that is acritique about the possibility of characterizing objectively the dysfunction of this emotion, rather thana critique about the ability of evolutionism to determine an adaptive function of depression. I try toshow that there is no sense in which we can interpret sadness as dysfunctional in an objective way thatwould be without referring to the harm whose evaluation is subjective. I also cast doubt on thepossibility to interpret any depressive episode as sadness. I conclude that the notion of “pathologicalsadness” is neither sufficient nor necessary to define depression. ; Le modèle de la dépression comme « tristesse pathologique » a été formulé par Horwitz et Wakefield (2007) pour distinguer des épisodes dépressifs normaux, assimilés à de la tristesse normale, et des épisodes dépressifs pathologiques, associés à la tristesse pathologique, en faisant appel à l'évolutionnisme : la tristesse serait pathologique quand, en plus d'être préjudiciable, elle est dysfonctionnelle au sens de ne pas remplir sa fonction adaptative, qui serait de ... |
