Description

The idea of expertise can be a source of terror. Adam Phillips explores this notion in his thought-provoking book, challenging conventional notions of self-knowledge and the role of experts in our lives. By examining our desire to believe in things - including those who claim to offer us knowledge and understanding - Phillips offers a fresh perspective on psychoanalysis. He argues that taking expertise seriously can be a barrier to genuine self-awareness, and that true understanding lies in questioning authority rather than accepting it. This book is a thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of human relationships with experts and the idea of expertise itself.
