Abstract

The notion of recovery is frequently evoked in healthcare, but it carries with it a number of ambiguities: do we envisage a return to a state that preceded the illness, or a way of composing a new way of living based on the illness? In order to think more precisely about recovery, this paper proposes to take a philosophical look at the notion of norm and to develop its importance through an approach to time, body and world. This analysis will make it possible to clarify the existential aspects involved in health recovery, and to describe the issues at stake in the care relationship in terms of these dimensions of subjective experience.
