BRAUER, Daniel. La contradicción de la razón consigo misma reflexiones en torno a la concepción de la locura en la antropología de Hegel. Rev. latinoam. filos. [online]. 2009, vol.35, n.2, pp.287-305. ISSN 1852-7353.

The radical distinction between reason and madness that according to Foucault, would characterize the philosophy of the Enlightenment, cannot be found in Hegels conception, for whom madness is a "privilege" of a rational being. More than that, madness represents for him on the one hand, a "necessary" stage in the formation of the human mind and on the other hand, it reveals essential aspects of normal conciousness. In this article I deal mainly with the relation between madness and consciousness. For Hegel madness is not synonymous of irrationality but an unsolved conflict of reason with itself.

Keywords : Consciousness; Madness; Contradiction.
