SUMMARY:IMH Lunchtime Webinar with Wouter Kusters
UID:www.birmingham.ac.uk/185397
DESCRIPTION:One world or many worlds? On philosophy, madness and the first person perspective\n
 In this webinar I will present my book A Philosophy of Madness. The Experience of Psychotic Thinking. First I will tell something about myself and how I came to write this book, after which I will give an overview of its main arguments and perspectives. Then I will present a text fragment that expresses some mad philosophical considerations concerning language, which I will continue with some further remarks on this relation between language, phenomenology and the so-called first person perspective. After that the floor is open for discussion.\n
 Wouter Kusters (1966) obtained a PhD in linguistics, and did an MA on the philosophy of psychosis.

The latter has recently been translated into English (2020, MIT Press). Wouter Kusters works as an independent writer, researcher and teacher in the Netherlands, see: https://kusterstekst.nl/.\n
