This is a novel, transnational exploration of the major Chinese intellectual debates on radicalism in history, culture, and politics after 1989.

This book is a personal account of one doctor's research and study of mental illness and healthcare in the Netherlands.

Forty five years ago, we youngsters played an exciting if questionable game. In a large house on the corner of our street a crazy woman lived alone We left our marbles and our balls on the pavement and hid behind trees in the gardens, listening to her with pounding hearts. Six years ago, the psychotic patients of Saint Anthony's, a psychiatric hospital in the Netherlands, played an exciting game with me. Fascination with and curiosity about the world of madness is not only a child's pastime, it seems to be without limits. Throughout the ages anthropologists, philosophers, historians, psychiatrists and psychotics themselves have discussed and described the symptoms of madness. But how seriously should we take madness? Is there any truth in the old idea that psychotic people have access to a world of meaning which remains locked to others?
