Since the Enlightenment, western culture has written off ecstatic
experience as a form of mental illness. But why should rationality
be considered the highest part of human nature when we are capable
of so many more states of experience? Piecing together interviews,
analysis of ancient and modern philosophy, and his own eclectic
encounters with the sublime, philosopher Jules Evans mounts an
investigation into what we can gain from mastering the art of
losing control. From Aristotle and Plato to the Bishop of London
and Sister Bliss, radical jihadis to Silicon Valley transhumanists,
The Art of Losing Control is a funny, life-enhancing journey that
will change the way you think about how you feel.
