{"product_id":"madness-and-reason-jennifer-radden-9780367500054","title":"Madness and Reason","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1985, this book provides a philosophical analysis of the concepts of madness and moral responsibility. It challenges the view that because they are victims of mental illness, the insane should not be blamed for actions resulting from their condition. The author urges a return to the neglected equation between madness and a want of reason, arguing that the impulse to excuse the criminally insane must be grounded in an appeal to their irrationality and unreasonableness. Through meticulous examination of the psychological states and behaviour patterns of major mental abnormalities, such as schizophrenia and depression, the author develops a notion of exculpating unreason. This is an interdisciplinary book which encompasses analytical philosophy, abnormal psychology and law. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Radden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367500051\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367500054\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.40d","brand":"Jennifer Radden","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072257061119,"sku":"9780367500054","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0f0d1d5a-6936-4f6a-ae7f-c25dd810d4e9.jpg?v=1685440879","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/madness-and-reason-jennifer-radden-9780367500054","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
