EVENT DESCRIPTION (please note the conference is in person only)
The conference will explore what it means to think m/Madness philosophically. The title reflects our interest in 'madness' as both a speculative (lower case 'm') and a practical/political (upper case 'M') term. Furthermore, it reflects our interest in the different ways in which m/Madness might be approached - either as an object of philosphical attention (with 'of' conceived as the objective genitive) or as a place from which philosophy might be done (with 'of' conceived as the subjective genitive).
