Going back to Socrates in Plato's Phaedrus: \"enormous advantages now come to us through madness once it is given as a divine gift. In fact, the prophetess at Delphi and the priestesses at Dodona do a great deal of good for Greece, both privately and publicly, when they are mad, but they accomplish little or nothing when they are sound-minded.\" (244 b)\u003cbr\u003eMania can be a blessing, and aporia may cause us to pause, reexamine our assumptions, and reveal something new.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoin and discuss classic authors (workshop: erik@erikpeter.me) like Gilman, Poe, Plato, Plotinus, Gogol, Akutagawa and others. How do various unreliable narrators function as tools for discovery?
