Description
The Art of Losing Control: A Philosopher's Search for Ecstatic Experience For centuries, western culture has viewed ecstatic experience as a form of mental illness, dismissing the potential benefits of surrendering to the sublime. Jules Evans challenges this perspective, exploring the value of embracing the unknown and the unpredictable. Through a diverse range of philosophical and personal encounters, Evans delves into the nature of human experience, seeking to understand what we can gain from mastering the art of losing control. From the ancient Greeks to modern-day thinkers, Evans examines the complex relationships between reason, emotion, and the human condition. This thought-provoking journey offers a fresh perspective on the human experience, one that is both humorous and life-enhancing.
