Szasz Discussion

This is a post whose comments can be used to discuss Thomas Szasz. Sometimes people say or write something critical about Szasz on a platform that is unsuitable for discussion like Twitter. This post is a more suitable place to discuss Szasz.

I have written a brief account of Szasz’s ideas and some references on the Fallible Living site.

I am willing to discuss the contents of that article and Szasz’s ideas more generally here. I would prefer that people who come here to discuss should have an account of their criticisms of Szasz that they’re willing to discuss and defend for reasons explained in Elliot Temple’s Paths Forward essay.
