About this product
Product Information
A hybrid in both content and style ,this is a bold and original investigation into Western intellectual history. John Hampsey approaches paranoia not as a clinical term for an irrational sense of persecution but as a cultural truth - a way of understanding the history of human thought and perhaps the best way to describe Being itself.

An extraordinarily original rumination on the human condition, ranging across a broad field of philosophical thought and Western literature.... Hampsey's goal is to startle us into reconsidering our conventional ways of thinking, and I believe he has achieved that goal admirably .... Eminently readable, often eloquent., Paranoia and Contentment is a sharply reasoned, humane,surprising, and intellectually bold meditation on paranoicvision. Part scholarship, part personal essay, thisbeautifully written book turns upside-down our standardthinking about paranoia, creativity, imagination, and what it is to be wholly human., An extraordinarily original rumination on the human condition, ranging across a broad field of philosophical thought and Western literature.... Hampsey's goal is to startle us into reconsidering our conventional ways of thinking, and I believe he has achieved that goal admirably.... Eminently readable, often eloquent., Paranoia and Contentment is a sharply reasoned, humane, surprising, and intellectually bold meditation on paranoic vision. Part scholarship, part personal essay, this beautifully written book turns upside-down our standard thinking about paranoia, creativity, imagination, and what it is to be wholly human., Paranoia and Contentment is a fascinating exercise in redefining 'paranoia' and coining the term 'paranoidic,' thereby positing new criteria for analyzing our life and society today.
