"The Politics of Experience" by R. D. Laing delves into the complexities of human psychology and challenges conventional notions of mental health. Laing explores the impact of societal pressures on individual behavior, shedding light on the ways in which our environment shapes our experiences and perceptions. Through a thought-provoking analysis, Laing invites readers to question the prevailing norms of sanity and madness, urging us to confront the inherent contradictions within our society. This seminal work offers a unique perspective on the intricacies of the human mind, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in the intersections of psychology, philosophy, and social theory.

MAY CONTAIN MARKUP

By John F. Witte

FROM THE PREFACE: “This book is about industrial democracy in an American corporation. Throughout I will be referring to the term democracy in a somewhat extreme form in relation to the current usage of the word in American theories of organization. I have not considered workers' participation as merely a progressive management technique or a vague approach to a more "humanized" work place. Although I am not condemning these innovations for the ends they seek, it is nevertheless the case that most American experiments in this vein have taken advantage of the symbolic value of "democracy" while not applying the basic principles of democracy as it is conceived in political theory.”
