I volti della pazzia. Un viaggio tra sacro, superstizioni e tabù

Summary/Abstract: Etymologies of various world languages present “insanity” as unexplainable feelings of heterogeneous psycho‑somatic coloring; they contain a certain kind of inner emptiness, yet overfilled with a strange force that drives into unknown. Some times this enigmatic power carries away body and soul, causing fear and respect. There is a need to define, even in a general way, some aspects of such a large topic as “insanity”, namely: sacrum, superstition, taboo.
