{"product_id":"continental-philosophy-of-psychiatry-alastair-morgan-9783031093333","title":"Continental Philosophy of Psychiatry: The Lure of Madness","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book explores how the continental philosophical tradition in the 20\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century attempted to understand madness as madness. It traces the paradoxical endeavour of reason attempting to understand madness without dissolving the inherent strangeness and otherness of madness. It provides a comprehensive overview of the contributions of phenomenology, critical theory, psychoanalysis, post-structuralism and anti-psychiatry to continental philosophy and psychiatry. The book outlines an intellectual tradition of psychiatry that is both fascinated by and withdraws from madness. Madness is a lure for philosophy in two senses; as both trap and provocation. It is a trap because this philosophical tradition constructs an otherness of madness so profound, that it condemns madness to silence. However, the idea of madness as another world is also a fertile provocation because it respects the non-identity of madness to reason. The book concludes with some critical reflections on the role of madness in contemporary philosophical thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alastair Morgan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 303109333X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031093333\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/12\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 421\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.94d","brand":"Alastair Morgan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44080567582975,"sku":"9783031093333","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e8d39964-4503-46bd-a231-ecc49a961481.jpg?v=1685487526","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/continental-philosophy-of-psychiatry-alastair-morgan-9783031093333","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
