Beschreibung
Arguing that we ought to look to psychedelic aesthetics of the 1960s in relation to current crises in liberal democracy, this book emphasizes the intersection of European thought and the psychedelic. The first half of the book focuses on philosophical influences of Herbert Marcuse and Antonin Artaud, while the second half shifts toward literary and theoretical influences of Aldous Huxley on psychedelic aesthetics. Framed within an emergent discourse of political theology, it suggests that taking a postsecular approach to psychedelic aesthetics helps us understand deeper connections between aesthetics and politics.

Über den Autor

Roger Green is a lecturer in the Department of English at Metropolitan State University of Denver, USA, where he teaches English and Songwriting. He is also a working musical artist, combining literary and aesthetic ideas in sound.

Zusammenfassung

Pushes beyond perennial lore in psychedelic culture to offer a different narrative for those interested in political theology.

Contextualizes the "psychedelic movement" within intellectual impulses from early twentieth-century Europe.

Argues that it is necessary to understand psychedelic aesthetics not just as a set of formal markers of certain kinds of art and music, but as a metaphysical and religious argument about a different way of conceiving subjectivity and the stakes of politics.
