It seems to me that what is "normal" is mostly defined by the political system.
- Nav_Panel 6y agoYeah, this was one of Foucault's major points, as well as several other "anti-psychiatry" thinkers in the 70s (most notably Thomas Szasz): "mental illness" is always a normative stance, and is incredibly useful politically.
