About this book

Humanity once imagined it could rise above its condition; repeated violence and disappointment wounded that dream. Mamdouh Adwan explores the forms of ‘madness’ through which artists and thinkers resist the reduction of human life to obedience, cruelty and mere survival. Written as a series of introductions towards a larger inquiry, the book defends creative nonconformity as a necessary response when preserving dignity itself begins to appear irrational.
