Synopsis
Louis Arnorsson Sass challenges conventional views of schizophrenia, proposing it as a condition of hyperrationality rather than a loss of reason. He explores how this detachment and heightened self-consciousness reflect the alienating aspects of modern life, moving beyond romanticized portrayals. The book further investigates modern culture's potential role in shaping schizophrenic pathology and the influence of brain abnormalities.
