REYES MOREL, Agustín. Orienting yourself in darkness: self-realization and concern for the truth in the work of Harry G. Frankfurt. Sig. Fil [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.42, pp.136-165.  Epub 04-Abr-2022. ISSN 1665-1324.

The work of Harry Frankfurt has usually been framed within contemporary discussions on the autonomy of will or moral responsibility. This article proposes the thesis that his work does not completely conform to these conceptual frameworks; on the contrary, it constitutes a novel perspective on the notion of self-realization in the field of analytic philosophy. To support this interpretation, the idea of alienation as a functional disturbance in the process of appropriation presented by Rahel Jaeggi is articulated with the Frankfurtian analyzes on the pathologies of will, love as a source of practical normativity and the concern for truth.
