Beschreibung

Print on Demand. This book provides an in-depth examination of the concept of madness in 18th-century Britain, drawing connections between the historical context and broader philosophical questions. The author explores the ways in which madness was perceived, understood, and treated during this period, examining how societal norms, class, and the prevailing medical and religious beliefs influenced approaches to mental illness. The book delves into the lives of individuals who challenged these norms, shedding light on the experiences of those deemed "mad" by their contemporaries.

Ultimately, this book deepens our understanding of the complex and often misunderstood history of madness, providing valuable insights into the evolution of societal attitudes and the enduring questions surrounding mental health.
