MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK
Main description:
The similarities between madness and modernism are striking: defiance of convention, nihilism, extreme relativism, distortions of time, strange transformations of self, and much more.
In this revised edition of a now classic work, Louis Sass, a clinical psychologist, offers a radically new vision of schizophrenia, comparing it with the works of such artists and writers as Kafka, Beckett, and Duchamp, and considering the ideas of philosophers including Nietzsche, Heidegger, Foucault, and Derrida. Here is a highly original portrait of the world of insanity, along with a provocative commentary on modernist and postmodernist culture.
Contents:
PART ONE: INTRODUCTION; PART TWO: EARLY SIGNS AND PRECURSORS: PERCEPTION AND PERSONALITY; PART THREE: ASPECTS OF MADNESS: THOUGHT AND LANGUAGE; PART FOUR: SELF AND WORLD IN THE FULL-BLOWN PSYCHOSIS
