Following Foucaults adoption of limit attitude, which investigates the limits of our thinking as points of disruption and renewal of established frames of reference, this book dispels the widely accepted belief that psychiatry represents the triumph of rationalism by somehow conquering madness and turning it into an object of neutral, scientific perception. It examines the birth of psychiatry in its full complexity: in the late eighteenth century, doctors were not simply rationalists but also alienists, philosophers of finitude who recognized madness as an experience at the limits of reason, introducing a discourse which conditioned the formation of psychiatry as a type of medical activity. Since that event, the same type of recognition, the same anthropological confrontation with madness has persisted beneath the calm development of psychiatric rationality, undermining the supposed linearity, absolute authority and steady progress of psychiatric positivism. Iliopoulos argues that Foucaults critique foregrounds this anthropological problematic as indispensable for psychiatry, encouraging psychiatrists to become aware of the epistemological limitations of their practice, and also to review the ethical and political issues which madness introduces into the apparent neutrality of current psychiatric discourse....3339263The History of Reason in the Age of Madness780867https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-history-of-reason-in-the-age-of-madness-9781474257770/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3854502/f7e62f75-b58d-40a9-84c2-6cb6aac016cb.jpg?v=638385977027570000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20179781474257770_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_The History of Reason in the Age of Madness revolves around three axes: the Foucauldian critical-historical method, its relationship with enlightenment critique, and the way this critique is implemented in Foucaults seminal work, History of Madness.Foucaults exploration of the origins of psychiatry applies his own theories of power, truth and reason and draws on Kants philosophy, shedding new light on the way we perceive the birth and development of psychiatric practice.
