This podcast is an exploration (both theoretical and hermeneutical as well as experiential) of the mental phenomenon that is known as "psychosis". Whilst being a relatively rare experience to a select few who are diagnosed with psychosis as a medical condition for those it does affect it can be utterly life-changing. As a recovering psychotic, I, the author, want to explore this topic to the full.

<p>In this episode I turn to the self-styled Schizoanalysts, Continental Philosophers, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari as they expose "the despotic signifier" and its relation to psychosis as I interpret it. </p>

Ep. 2 The Despotic Signifier.

<p>This episode takes its cue from self-styled "psychotic philosopher" Wouter Kusters who I paraphrase to explain the concept of Solipsism, we also take a brief excursion through the Lacanian imago to explain the visual nature of schizophrenic voices and wind up talking about Christianity as it relates to St. Paul's spiritual experience and how that relates to my own feelings about the condition of psychosis. </p>
