The ontological necessity of “madness” lies in the fact that it is not possible to pass directly from the purely “animal soul” immersed in it’s natural life-world to “normal” subjectivity dwelling in its symbolic universe. The “vanishing mediator” between the two is the “mad” gesture of radical withdrawal from reality which opens up the space for its symbolic (re)constitution.
