What is insanity? Why is this disease so common? Carl Gustav Jung and Michel Foucault, whose work is presented in this book, answer this question in different ways. An outstanding Swiss scientist, psychotherapist Carl Gustav Jung believed that an increase in the number of mental illnesses leads to the oblivion of the basic principles of human existence by modern society. In turn, the French structuralist philosopher Michel Foucault argued that madness is a retribution for progress, which sets certain limits for the subconscious processes of the human psyche. As a result, deviations appear in it, which symbolically reflect the state of modern society.
