Historically, as Güven shows, philosophical treatments of madness and death have limited or subdued their disruptive quality. Madness and death are linked to the question of how to conceptualize the unthinkable, but Güven illustrates how this conceptualization results in a reduction to positivity of the very radical negativity these moments represent. Tracing this problematic through Plato, Hegel, Heidegger, and, finally, in the debate on madness between Foucault and Derrida, Güven gestures toward a nonreducible, disruptive form of negativity, articulated in Heidegger's critique of Hegel and Foucault's engagement with Derrida, that might allow for the preservation of real otherness and open the possibility of a true ethics of difference.SUNY series in contemporary continental philosophy.DeathHistoryInsanity (Law)HistoryPhilosophyHistoryDeathHistory.Insanity (Law)History.PhilosophyHistory.128/.5Guven Ferit1966-1526413MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808347303321Madness and death in philosophy4028584UNINA
