Beskrivning
This work, originally published in 1964 with a foreword by Jean-Paul Sartre and as a second edition with an extended introduction in 1971, has been influential in presenting to the English reader aspects of Sartre's thought embodied in his three major books published between 1950 and 1960. The three books discussed - Saint Genet, Comédien et Martyr; Questions de Méthode; and Critique de la Raison Dialectique - span the distance from individual biography to the basic theory of groups and social organization: from Saint Genet, perhaps the most penetrating attempt by one man to understand the life of another living man, to the Critique, which seeks to establish the dialectical bases for a structural and historical anthropology. This body of thought represents more than another synthesis of social theories and the insights of individual psychologies; it is the contribution of one of the most radical thinkers of the 20th century to a revolution in man's understanding of himself.

Mer om författaren

Ronald David Laing (1927–1989) trained and qualified as a doctor, psychiatrist and psychoanalyst. R.D. Laing published 15 books which sold worldwide in their millions, the most celebrated of which are: The Divided Self: An Existential Study in Sanity and Madness; Sanity, Madness and the Family, The Politics of Experience and the Bird of Paradise and Knots. The Divided Self is required reading on many psychology courses and to this day the life and works of R. D. Laing influence writers, poets, musicians, philosophers, psychologists, therapists, film makers and those involved with the day-to-day challenges of coping and dealing with mental distress. R.D. Laing was a controversial figure to the Establishment and a hero to the counter-culture movement of the 1960s which viewed R. D. Laing as a pioneering humanitarian whose works displayed an authentic existential understanding of psychosis.(By kind permission of the Laing Estate). David Graham Cooper (1931–1986) was a South African-born psychiatrist and theorist who was prominent in the anti-psychiatry movement.
