It will rearrange your mind and cure schizophrenia.
There is a thinking cure for the disease as is hinted at in this
paper about Sass. When they say it is futile they are wrong.
And so, a last thought, concerning the application of what I have
written here. I think Section 3 of this paper strengthens the notion,
intimated earlier, that one ought to be extremely wary of concluding
that Sass -- or I -- may have created or stumbled upon a possible
distinctive 'philosophical therapy' for schizophrenia. For there is no
particular reason vis-a-vis 'schizophrenic' language and life --
unlike 'ordinary' (merely theoretical) philosophic language and 'life'
-- for supposing that the safety, or distance, is available to the
sufferer to be able to re-vision the 'riverbed' of their delusions in
the light of a 'diagnosis' of them, of whatever kind. 'Philosophical
therapy' will often probably be just futile, occasionally be helpful
-- and sometimes make things worse. Because it may be felt simply as
yet another level of thought on top of all the reflectivity and
reflexivity that's already there. It may precisely have the opposite
effect to that intended, by further derealizing, rather than exposing
and assisting in a retreat from and reconfiguration of delusion -- of
unreality.
So: We can try engaging with purveyors of nonsense
intellectually, try effecting a philosophical talking cure. It's one
thing which might be worth trying to do. But I think I can end this
paper on a point of agreement with Sass: Perhaps a key difference
between people with philosophy and people with schizophrenia, is that
it is only with the former that such engagement is likely to be, if
not usually successful, at least usually relatively harmless,
relatively risk-free.[157]
