Recenzje

'With his usual vivid wit and wisdom, the psychoanalyst Massimo Recalcati describes the world we occupy as one where a fantasy of the ever more threatening stranger lies behind our frantic building of walls - concrete and psychic. Yet, if we really want to strengthen our increasingly enclosed, fragile selves, encouraged only to exercise sovereignty over what we consume, we need to realize that it is only via generous solidarity with others, not sealed off individual choices, that we will find a richer freedom. This book is a tonic for our times.'Lynne Segal, author of Radical Happiness: Moments of Collective Joy
