Looking for recommendations for printed examples of philosophical exchanges - old or new

Hello hello. It's been a while since I have properly posted & I come again with a request for recommendations... I'm looking for a written academic exchange/dialogue/debate that I can present to students that is respectful and intellectually stimulating Thanks!

I'm on Bluesky find me here: bsky.app/profile/kevinm… (Looking forward to getting banned for sharing - I was about to say this could be my final tweet but that happened long ago - we all know whatever this godforsaken place now is stopped being Twitter a long time ago...)

Looking forward to talking about the relationship between Victorian diagnostic categories and fiction through psychiatrists' responses to fictional representations of mental disorder as found in archives of BJPsych Journals
