Sanity and Madness

Course #: phil 265

Description:
This course looks at a number of questions about insanity or ''madness'': What it is like, how it should be described and regarded, therapeutic and curative responses to it, and what special treatment-if any-its sufferers deserve. We pay particular attention to the claims of the so-called ''anti-psychiatry'' movement, to Foucault and contemporary post-modernist writing, and to feminist analyses of the relation between madness and gender.
