Recalcati Massimo - The Temptation Of The Wall Five Short Lessons On Civil Life - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Modern social and political life is characterized not only by a passion for freedom and a desire for human contact but also by the urge to shut down to refuse freedom and the responsibility that goes with it to barter it away in return for our security: this is the temptation of the wall a temptation with which every modern society has to come to terms. Drawing on his experience as a psychoanalyst Recalcati shows that the temptation of the wall is rooted in a deep psychological inclination: human beings have always drawn up borders and rejected the risks associated with being open to the outside world. But when these borders are turned into walls they can only result in an impoverishment of the value of exchange and the loss of the dynamic plurality of a life shared with others.
