GENIUS AND MADNESS BETWEEN NORMALITY AND PATHOLOGY

Giuseppe Stranieri ; Mental Health Department, Catanzaro, Italy

Abstract

It is reasonable to affirm that madness is inborn with the human spirit and that only in lunacy it is possible to be creative, being
the intellect a system of rules that make possible to live with the least conflict possible, as masterfully said by Umberto Galimberti. To understand madness we must glean our lunacy and put aside the reason which relates to the non contradiction principle thus being not capable to comprehend madness that does not respond to the rational principles, whereas as Schopenhauer says, is the essence and the strength of the will to live.

Keywords

genius; madness; trascendence; normality; pathology
