Can philosophy cure madness? Three approaches

This essay actually focuses on a kind of madness, where one perceives a lot of “hidden” messages (or interprets the world so that there are a lot of these messages). Perhaps there are other kinds of madness. Anyway, I describe my experiences of this kind and I make three philosophical proposals for combatting madness: a Cartesian one, a Wittgensteinian one, and my own one, which I call “particularist.” My own one seems the riskiest of the three.
