Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. An incredible publishing event- a philosopher draws on his own experience of madness as he takes readers on an unforgettble journey through the philosophy of psychosis and the psychosis of philosophy.The philosophy of psychosis and the psychosis of philosophy- a philosopher draws on his experience of madness.In this book, philosopher and linguist Wouter Kusters examines the philosophy of psychosis-and the psychosis of philosophy. By analyzing the experience of psychosis in philosophical terms, Kusters not only emancipates the experience of the psychotic from medical classification, he also emancipates the philosopher from the narrowness of textbooks and academia, allowing philosophers to engage in real-life praxis, philosophy in vivo. Philosophy and madness-Kusters's preferred, non-medicalized term-coexist, one mirroring the other.Kusters draws on his own experience of madness-two episodes of psychosis, twenty years apart-as well as other first-person narratives of psychosis. Speculating about the maddening effect of certain words and thought, he argues, and demonstrates, that the steady flow of philosophical deliberation may sweep one into a full-blown acute psychotic episode. Indeed, a certain kind of philosophizing may result in confusion, paradoxes, unworldly insights, and circular frozenness reminiscent of madness. Psychosis presents itself to the psychotic as an inescapable truth and reality.Kusters evokes the mad person's philosophical or existential amazement at reality, thinking, time, and space, drawing on classic autobiographical accounts of psychoses by Antonin Artaud, Daniel Schreber, and others, as well as the work of phenomenological psychiatrists and psychologists and such phenomenologists as Edmund Husserl and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. He considers the philosophical mystic and the mystical philosopher, tracing the mad undercurrent in the Husserlian philosophy of time; visits the cloud castles of mystical madness, encountering LSD devotees, philosophers, theologians, and nihilists; and, falling to earth, finds anxiety, emptiness, delusions, and hallucinations. Madness and philosophy proceed and converge toward a single vanishing point. Translations of: Filosophie van de waanzin: Fundamentele en grensoverischrijdende inzichten, 2014.

Softcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. De psychose is waanzin in pure vorm, maar wordt door Wouter Kusters filosofisch net zoals `het normale' benaderd. Daarbij maakt hij vergelijkingen met het creatieve van de kunstenaar, het associatieve van de dichter, het relativerende van de filosoof en het `waarden-loze' van de kapitalist. Zijn filosofisch perspectief wisselt hij af met een persoonlijk verslag van zijn eigen psychose en aantekeningen uit zijn psychiatrisch dossier. Hij heeft geprobeerd een taal te vinden die vertelt hoe het is om psychotisch te zijn en maakt aannemelijk dat de psychoot in zijn vlucht ontkomt aan de zwaartekracht van de alledaagse werkelijkheid. Wouter Kusters laat in Pure waanzin zien dat waanzin geen concept is dat uitsluitend beheerd en uitgesproken wordt door psychiaters, maar een grensgebied waarin kunstenaars, filosofen, psychoten, psychiaters en zelfs normale mensen zich bewegen. Wouter Kusters is gepromoveerd taalkundige, postdoctoraal onderzoeker bij het Meertens Instituut en publicist. Dit prachtige en verhelderende boek is een bewerking van een essay waarvoor hij in 2004 de Van Helsdingenprijs heeft ontvangen van de Stichting Psychiatrie en Filosofie.
