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. 410 0$aSUNY series in contemporary continental philosophy. 606 $aDeath$xHistory 606 $aInsanity (Law)$xHistory 606 $aPhilosophy$xHistory 615 0$aDeath$xHistory. 615 0$aInsanity (Law)$xHistory. 615 0$aPhilosophy$xHistory. 676 $a128/.5 700 $aGuven$b Ferit$f1966-$01526413 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808347303321 996 $aMadness and death in philosophy$94028584 997 $aUNINA
