About This Item
Used paperback book in fair condition. Some bumping, rubbing, creasing on the top, spine, edges, corners. Outer page edges with tanning, browning, stains and foxing. R.D. Laing is at his most wickedly iconoclastic in this eloquent assault on conventional morality. Unorthodox to some, brilliantly original to others, "The Politics of Experience "goes beyond the usual theories of mental illness and alienation, and makes a convincing case for the "madness of morality." 1967. B1.

Dr. Laing wrote several books, including The Divided Self, Reason and Violence, The Politics of the Family, and The Voice of Experience . He died in 1989.

I bought the book in 1967. Only took 5 years to read it. On the back is a quote that will indicate the amazing journey you will go through: "If I could turn you on, if I could drive you out of your wretched mind, if I could tell you, I would let you know". He does.
