Paolo Loffredo, sixth generation of a large family of publishers and booksellers engaged in the production and distribution of books since the late nineteenth century, creates in 2012 the new editorial company Paolo Loffredo Editore. The historical site was until the '80s in the heart of the historic centre of Naples in Via San Biagio dei Librai, lower Decumano and also known as the SpaccaNapoli.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, Giuseppe Loffredo decided to add book selling to the book production, which definitively imposed itself after World War II with the publication of manuals for the University and for the School that succeeded in establishing themselves soon throughout Italy.

Description
Critica e cura. La follia prima e dopo Basaglia
In an interdisciplinary dialogue between literature and philosophical and political thinking, the volume shows the craziness, starting from Legge 180, which made Italy be the first country to close asylums. It analyzes the narrative works about madness that are previous, contemporary and following the Legge Battaglia, in order to explore its influence on the literal imaginary on a political reform. The volume reads the “Storia della follia” by Foucault's considering Hobbes' thinking, which saw in the link between knowledge and power an expression of completeness and authority. Finally, there is a study upon criticism and care, in their possible relationship. Literature and philosophy are not only to be considered critical instruments, but also a care opportunity.
