The Pursuit of Pleasure - Overcoming a Civilizational Challenge
Arsen Dallan
This important book unveils how the pleasure principle has taken humanity hostage to the powers of branding and consumerism, steering our most basic desires. Radically re-evaluating the notion of pleasure and arguing for a deep societal change, it shows the way to a new humanist culture.
