We must remain open to revising and expanding the important but incompletely understood philosophical categories of agency and responsibility in light of what can be learned from atypical states and behaviour. A reflection on images - here, Goya's great Madhouse scene, and photographs of Mad Pride events since the 1980s - is shown to provide assistance towards this end.
我们必须保持开放的态度,根据从非典型状态和行为中所学到的知识,对重要但尚未完全理解的能动性和责任的哲学范畴进行修订和扩展。对图像的反思——这里指戈雅的伟大画作《疯人院》场景,以及20世纪80年代以来“疯人骄傲”活动的照片——被证明有助于实现这一目标。
