Above positive symptoms, passiveness as a schizophrenic beeing

Now, schizophrenia is thought in terms of negative and positive forms. In t his way, delusion and hallucination are seen too simply as pathological gro wth whereas apragmatism is seen in terms of defect. This point of view can lead to classify schizophrenic persons into "actives" ones, who would produ ce positivs symptoms, and "passives" ones, who would produce nothing. Yet, this dimension of passiveness can be found in the positives forms of schizo phrenia. Merleau-Ponty and Tatossian help us to analyse delusion and halluc ination in a phenomenological way in order to show the being-submissive and the profound disorganisation in the constitution of self and world that th ey signify. Following the analysis of human identity of the french philosop her Ricoeur, hallucinations can be understood as "unframing" of the Idem an d Ipse aspects of identity. Thus, passiveness is becoming a schizophrenic b eeing, in spite of the kind of symptomatology.
