American Samizdat

In Rewriting the Soul, Ian Hacking suggests a third point from which to triangulate the knowledge of power, which he calls a memoro-politics ... a politics of the human soul, an moral idea that invokes character, reflective choice, and self-understanding. For Hacking, the development of the sciences of memory towards the end of the nineteenth century "wrested the soul from religion and turned it over to science." (pp 213-214)


Personality and the Sciences of Memory, sounds,like Wilhelm Reich's sex-economic hypothesis...

People living deeply have no fear of death.
