Ludwig Binswanger y el análisis existencial. Un enfoque filosófico de la enfermedad mental is a work written by the young Foucault in the early 1950s, where the philosophical question about man is presented related to mental illness. This philosophical concern presents points of contact with Endfermedad mental y personalidad published in 1954, although it differs in terms of the clinical emphasis developed by Foucault through Binswanger's cases. Foucault's reading of the Swiss psychiatrist's existential analysis allows us to identify its differences with psychoanalysis and traditional psychiatry, as well as the importance of the concepts of space and time in mental illness.

Keywords : Foucault; mental illness; existential analysis; philosophy.
