Pierre MEINRAD HEBGA, human composite schemas and the rationality of the paranormal

Western philosophy defines man as a psychosomatic. This dualistic conception of man essentially reduces him to two entities: the soul and the body has a preponderant influence in the philosophical ecosystem to become a definitional referent of the schema of the human compound. The difficulty that a dualism comes up against is therefore that of its inability to make paranormal phenomena intelligible, which it finely considers to be of the order of the irrational. However, Pierre Meinrad Hebga thinks its a fundamental error in which Western philosophy has drowned, because the paranormal phenomena, according to him, are explicable but everything depends on the type of schema of the human compound that we give to ourselves. Thus, in contrast to the Western dualist schema, Hebga establishes the triadic one which comes under African pluralism, that is to say which considers man rather as a being composed of three instances: body, breath and shadow, all necessary and sufficient for the interpretation of paranormal phenomena.
