Creation in Winnicott and philosophical re-creation
Abstract
The purpose of this article is to show that adolescence in the process of personal maturation, as understood by Winnicott, can be considered a privileged moment for the exercise of philosophical reflection. Although immaturity is the most striking characteristic of this stage of maturation, bringing with it many tensions for the young and the adults, I will try to point out that it is open to the adolescent - along with his creative potential - the possibility of asking expensive questions to philosophy - as the meaning of existing - with the chance to recreate their own answers, recreating themselves with philosophy. This recreation can only take place without claiming to the adolescent the need for philosophical rigor in the formulation of his explanations, but fostering in him the opportunity to explore the potential space in which philosophy must be developed.
