During the last 30 years this discourse on poverty, unemployment or educational marginalization and their causes and consequences has been dominated by the social sciences and medicine. The concepts of ‘recognition’ and ‘self-constitution’ seem to be philosophical and historical key categories which may help to broaden the understanding of the semantic field comprising medicine, poverty, illness and their familial transmission. Such a perspective could open new ways of thinking in medicine and the social sciences. Hence, it is the aim of the Symposium to lay the foundation for a theory of recognition and self-constitution directed at offering new explanatory models for the transmission of precarious living conditions within the family. In an interdisciplinary endeavor these key categories and their meaning in the context of health and poverty will be discussed and analyzed combining perspectives from the History, Philosophy and Ethics of Medicine in connection with psychiatry and sociology.
