碩士 === 中原大學 === 宗教研究所 === 95 === Abstract
Madness is regard as a category of Psychiatry and a kind of disease in our society. But in Foucault’s view, this kind of judgment shows that Rationalism has already mastered the space of the unreasonable. Rationalism has become the subject of the discourse and defines Madness and imposes its explanation on it, and that we can recognize Madness only through this explanation.
Foucault thought that to analyze the “madness” is impossible, “madness” itself could not be a kind of knowledge, it could only be a kind of experience. Therefore, in Folie et D�臆aison; Histoire de la Folie, Foucault redescribes the process of how reason divides the “madness” by the history of “madness-experience.” Through this process Foucault opens up another dimension, that is, the connection between the madness and religion.
Actually, Foucault is aware that the rationalization of Mandness is closely connected to the rationalization of religion, or put it another way, “religion” itself is the product of reason. But still, the most fundamental event is the divine experience of faith. This thesis is to find out the connection between “divinity” and what Foucault has described as the “madness” experience which is divided by reason, and to understand the “divine experience” in foucaultian view. However, this thesis does not attempt to analyze or explain the concept of “divine,” for this is what rationalists do, and is exactly what Foucault objects. This thesis focuses only on the madness experience which appears in Folie et D�臆aison; Histoire de la Folie, to redescribe the divine experience which is veiled behind it, and to find out the trace of division that divides the divine, while reason divides madness.
