In the paper, the analysis of M. Foucault’s account of madness is presented on the background of Descartes’ views on rationality. In contradiction to M. Foucault, J. Derrida argues that Descartes did not exclude the mad from thinking persons since – according to him – “the act of cogito is valid even when I am mad.” However, the important advantage of Foucault is proving that analytical approach to madness, so attempt at its objectification, leads as a consequence to many contradictions which cannot be solved even by the development of medicine, psychology and psychiatry. At the present time, some cultural permission to a kind of madness is present. A. Breton may be seen as an example of an artist who transformed madness into main subject and source of inspiration. Mad and shocking art of surrealists, due to focusing on special interrelation of opposites, shown in new light and in new way, presents different, new, and perhaps more true aspects of reality.
