Anybody read this? I just finished it and it really frightened

>>9123336
no idea what that book is but wow what a god-tier book cover.

>>9123336
Haven't read it, but he influenced D&G heavily despite them still criticizing him for being still caught in psychoanalysis.

>>9123355
D&G?

This desu

Apparently this guy influenced Ballard so I need to read him

Questions:

Is it as interesting as it sounds?
Do I need to read anything before I read it?

>>9123347
Care to explain? It must be going over my head

>>9123571
It's just aesthetic as fuck

>>9123547
OP here.

It's pretty much entry-level existential psychology. It's like 190 pages too. I'd post excerpts but considering the state of the board these days I'm not going to bother.

>>9123905
Sounds pretty neat, I think I'll pick it up.

What category of art or design is this called and why is it so aesthetic?

>>9126094
no expert on this kind of thing but reminds me of the Swiss graphic style
I think it appeals because of clarity and order; simple, flat geometric shapes/patterns are used to illustrate, with a lack of superfluous flourishes.

I met Dr Laing once, an alcoholic quack who destroyed his patients lives to fulfil his idiot theories. A complete knobjockey.

i don't understand this picture. a pill that was 250,000mg of whatever drug would weigh a minimum of 250g, or a quarter of a kilogram, not including whatever additional additives were put into it to form a stable tablet. either that pill is composed of extraordinarily dense matter, or it's so huge it would be difficult to sit down and eat in an entire meal, let alone swallow whole.

why would anyone make such an illogical image.

>>9123336
i've met my fair share of quacks, and this fellow definitely qualifies as one. put the work out of mind. it is nonsense.

>Made me realize how fucked I am. Worried for the future now.

You were one of the ignorant masses: in denial, pretentious, shallow.

You're better off facing truth. Truth is honest and HONOR.

>wtf i hate the psychotherapeutics establishment now

>>9126094
minimalism

Wtf I can't believe this is posted here. I've read Laing's entire corpus now, I believe. Madness Sanity and The Family is one of the greatest psychological works in existence.

Its a representation of the topographical model of consciousness (ID, superego, ego), or else its simply an overlapping of existential positions one takes in life within different contexts. I kind of doubt anyone but OP has actually read the book, but thats what the book is about. Its about selves, its about splitting selves, and phenomenology.

Why did you find his work to be worth reading? Kinda interested in reading this guy

>>9123336

I read the Politics of Experience and concluded that Laing was an absolute shit thinker/writer and possibly deranged and decided to cross off all his other books.
It was typical 20th century "whoa dude like maybe WE'RE the abnormal ones?!?!?!"
