What is Madness? Video Discussion

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE MOVED THE EVENT ONE HOUR EARLIER (11.00 am EST)

Is 'mental disorder' purely a dysfunction, or are there important advantages to being psychologically different? Do depression and anxiety serve a vital role in healing and bettering one's life?

This is a video presentation by Justin Garson, Professor of Philosophy at Hunter College and The Graduate Center, City University of New York. He has two new books: Madness: A Philosophical Exploration (Oxford University Press, 2022) and The Biological Mind: (Routledge, 2022).

Please watch the video in advance.
