I studied it and continue to read and write philosophy. I come from the analytical tradition though and haven’t read Deleuze & Guattari or Baudrillard.

I’ve never studied it. Might be interesting. What exactly is it? I mean I think I know what it is but…

Deleuze’s work on Spinoza still haunts me but I haven’t read, nor will I read in the future, the work you mention.
Analytical tradition? I knew it. On a more personal note, does this background help you with your delusions?
Yes, although Wittgenstein mainly and he is not easily positioned at either side of the division. I engage with contemporary phenomenological psychopathology that you are familiar with as well. My background in philosophy did help me to selfdiagnose psychosis in my first episode where I did not have insight as such for the first five months, but knew enough to keep everything to myself in a form of double bookkeeping indeed. My problems in later episodes became not so much whether I was psychotic or not, but whether that excludes substantive delusional meaning.

I love that old philosophical question: The trolley or the fat man? I still think about that one often. But otherwise I am deeply interested in the Stoics. Love the enchidiron by Epictetus.

İ didn t studied any philosophy but specifically interesting post modernism and existentialism.when i was severe depressed at my teenage i was particularly interested existentialism especially their term “angst”.meaningless, absurd and angst were totally describing my way of thinking.but after start anti depressants all angst that i have lost.nowadays i m specifically interesting deleuze philosophy.body without organs and desire machines term look interesting.i totally feel that i m inside some kind of body without organs politically and emotionally.

My favorite thing I ever studied when I did study philosophy briefly, was Jung’s theory of the collective unconscious.

I used to read about sentific philosohpy or philosophy of science. I dont think philosophy can be helpful to our illness. but the thoughts of the phylosophy can provide us a better blueprint of the world.

Art of war too.
I majored in philosophy in university, but I don’t remember very much. At the time, I liked Plato a lot.

I love Philosophy. My last paper was on Maimonides.

I love philosophy! I was studying it as a minor when working on my second BS, before the uni informed me that financial aid wouldn’t cover a minor for a postbacc degree.
I want to read a lot more philosophy books, tbh. I was amassing a collection of ebooks from the Gutenberg Project, but I don’t get to use my phone a whole lot to read them.
