Philosophy Talk. Mental Illness and Culture
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Paranoia, depression, schizophrenia, bipolarity, and all the other ways Americans have discovered to be crazy are they universal phenomena, rooted in human biology? Or are they cultural kinks, rooted in one society's peculiar pressures and institutions? Are Americans inducing the rest of the world to be crazy like us, so we can market the appropriate cures? Ken and John maintain their sanity with Ethan Watters, author of Crazy Like Us: The Globalization of the American Psyche.
