It also explores why continental philosophy after Nietzsche is so fascinated with madness, and how it (re)considers, (re)evaluates and (re)valorizes madness. To answer these questions, the book analyzes the work of three major figures in twentieth-century French philosophy who were significantly influenced by Nietzsche: Bataille, Foucault and Derrida, examining the ways in which their responses to Nietzsche’s madness determine how they understand philosophy as well as philosophy’s relation to madness. For these philosophers, posing the question about madness renders the philosophical subject vulnerable and implicates it in a state of responsibility towards that about which it asks. Out of this analysis of their engagement with the question of madness emerges a new conception of 'autobiographical philosophy', which entails the insertion of this vulnerable subject into the philosophical work, to which each of these philosophers adheres or resists in different ways.ExistentialismModern philosophyPhilosophy of mindPhilosophySocial sciences—PhilosophyExistentialismhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E44020Modern Philosophyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E19000Philosophy of Mindhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E31000Philosophy of Manhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E28000Social Philosophyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E43000Existentialism.Modern philosophy.Philosophy of mind.Philosophy.Social sciences—Philosophy.Existentialism.Modern Philosophy.Philosophy of Mind.Philosophy of Man.Social Philosophy.616.89001Evangelou Angelosauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut989037BOOK9910255212903321Philosophizing Madness from Nietzsche to Derrida2261678UNINA
