«The Politics of Experience and The Bird of Paradise» is the psychology and social criticism essay by R. D. Laing, published by Penguin in paperback (160 pages, in English).
Starting from individual experience and psychoanalysis, Laing questions conventional ideas of sanity and madness, and analyses how society labels and alienates people. The volume closes with a second text, «The Bird of Paradise», which extends that reflection on perception and identity.
Work originally published in 1967; this Penguin paperback edition corresponds to a 1970 reprint. Category: Philosophy.
For readers interested in anti-psychiatry, existential psychology and the critical thought of the 1960s.
