About the Performance

The Ideal – Why Mental Health? On mental health, mental illness, and why we should feel so good

In the first public discussion of the fall, Christian Rück, author and professor of psychiatry at the Karolinska Institute, and Fredrika Sandell, executive director of Frisk & Fri—the National Association Against Eating Disorders—will open the discussion with their reflections on the question: Why mental health? After all, what does mental health mean? What does it mean to be mentally unwell? And why should we actually feel so good? The discussion will touch on screens, diagnoses, and identity formation. We’ll also talk about what it means to have a place in society and whether it’s even possible not to want to feel good.

During the discussion, Christian Rück will be selling his new book, *Generation Trauma*.

About “The Ideal”

Do you also want to envision a different future? Do you also long for a different kind of public discourse? Are you curious about what philosophy has to do with it? Welcome to Det idéala!

“The Ideal” is a cultural project that promotes philosophical conversations in society. A philosophical conversation is distinguished by its focus on the questions, rather than the answers. A philosophical conversation also has clear guidelines and a facilitator who establishes and maintains the structure of the conversation. In this way, a philosophical conversation allows us to reflect on big and complex questions together.

As part of ” Det idéala,” public talks are held at Uppsala Konsert & Kongress.

Each public conversation centers on a current cultural or social issue and begins with a live music performance by a young local musician (this fall, Lovisa Sörgjerd). Setting the mood with live music creates the right conditions for a meaningful conversation. The music is followed by a 45-minute panel discussion in which invited guests from universities, the cultural sector, civil society, or the business community share their reflections based on their own perspectives. Afterward, the audience is invited to discuss selected follow-up questions in small groups, drawing on their own experiences, for 30 minutes. The discussions conclude with 30 minutes of shared reflection, during which the audience shares their thoughts and continues the discussion with one another and the invited guests. In this way—
—in-depth prior knowledge is woven together with broad life experience, creating an opportunity for a greater shared understanding.

The discussion lasts a total of two hours, and no prior knowledge is required. You are warmly invited to explore your ideas and ideals together with others and to discover what philosophy has to do with you and with public discourse.

“The Ideal ” is led by Malin Jörnvi, a philosopher.

This fall’s public talks are being held in collaboration with Uppsala Konsert & Kongress and Folkuniversitetet.
