Krátky popis
A provocative and original history of the scientists and writers,
artists and philosophers who took drugs to explore the hidden
regions of the mind ",Jay is a leading expert on the history of
Western drug use, and Psychonauts is the latest in a series of
excellent studies in which he has investigated the roots of a kind
of psychoactive exploration that we tend to associate with the
nineteen-fifties and sixties.",-Clare Bucknell, New Yorker
",Captivating. . .. A welcome reconsideration of the role drugs
play in life, medicine, and science.",-Publishers Weekly Until the
twentieth century, scientists investigating the effects of drugs on
the mind did so by experimenting on themselves. Vivid descriptions
of drug experiences sparked insights across the mind sciences,
pharmacology, medicine, and philosophy.Accounts in journals and
literary fiction inspired a fascinated public to make their own
experiments-in scientific demonstrations, on exotic travels, at
literary salons, and in occult rituals. But after 1900 drugs were
increasingly viewed as a social problem, and the long tradition of
self-experimentation began to disappear. From Sigmund Freud's
experiments with cocaine to William James's epiphany on nitrous
oxide, Mike Jay brilliantly recovers a lost intellectual tradition
of drug-taking that fed the birth of psychology, the discovery of
the unconscious, and the emergence of modernism.Today, as we
embrace novel cognitive enhancers and psychedelics, the experiments
of the original psychonauts reveal the deep influence of
mind-altering drugs on Western science, philosophy, and culture.
