Recensioner i media

“Philosophizing Madness, is an impressive feat of scholarly erudition. Evangelou, though a lecturer in Comparative Literature, has produced a work on an intense philosophical character debating one of the more crucial questions in contemporary Continental philosophy (in its French form).” (Guilel Treiber, Metapsychology Online Reviews, Metapsychology.Mentalhelp.net, Vol. 22 (15), April, 2010)
