Paranoia & contentment : a personal essay on Western thought
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.
