Is today's thinking conditioned by body-mind dualism? A rebellion against the biological order seems to have silently infiltrated our world view. Suicide bombers appear to share the fascination with destruction, of writers such as Mishima, Pasolini and Foucault.
This book presents a critique of several of the 'Freudo-Marxisms' - Marcuse, Reich, Deleuze and Guattari's Anti-Oedipus - based on the argument that each adopts a mistaken view of the unconscious, and distorts the Freudian theory of psychoanalysis in the interests of illusion.
This is the best single account of the psychoanalysis of creativity, pseudo- creativity and the perverse mind. The author explores art, film and literature to show the relations between true creativity and the artful universe of the pervert.
