Lost in translation, but...,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Disembodied Spirits and Deanimated Bodies: The Psychopathology of Common Sense (International Perspectives in Philosophy and Psychiatry) (Paperback)
There are some interesting ideas here - and it is always interesting to see mental illnesses in the light of existential thinking. Some very interesting comments on consciousness and self-consciousness and on "melancholic depersonalization as an identity disorder". Some intriguing responses to intriguing questions too - what does it mean to "feel" alive, for example?A slight uncomfortable "moral" twinge at times is present - that polarizes depressives into sheepish "centric" conformists and schizophrenics into cold "eccentric" nonconformists. Neither are granted "authenticity". Unfortunately this book is so badly translated that one is constantly distracted by unhappy choices in grammatical construction. If I could read Italian, I'd go for the original, hands down. |
