Abstract
[The relationship to the world in Alzheimer disease. A plural interpretation]. Moving from a research sponsored by France Alzheimer, the authors try to question the Alzheimer disease from an anthropological, phenomenological and psychoanalytical point of view. This pathology has been always considered only from a neurological perspective, but it seems to us to be more complex, since it is the whole human being to be affected in it. The relationship to the world, the fear against death, the impossibility to afford the assumption of our fragilities, the signs of our finitude through time, the difficulty to accept the experience of the being out of step of our body show that the human singularity is affected by the Alzheimer disease. The intentional arc (tension) giving life to our existence is almost broken under the weight of an insurmountable anguish. © 2010 Elsevier Masson SAS.
