what is the difference between madness and genius?

i ask you to study the works of william blake and try to discern such... i believe you will find it very difficult.


what does this have to do with philosophy? it is undoubtly an issue of the mind... and what is the mind but the home of thought (both rational and irrational).

The judgement of the society to which the mad or brilliant mind belongs to.

but can't the mad have a certain brilliance...if one cares to listen to it...the only seperation is those that can contain it in a constructive manner, and those that let their brilliance dominate their reasoning...

what does william blake have to do with philosophy? he was a poet!
