Mindfucking: A Critique of Mental Manipulation

by Colin McGinn · 2008

+ Want to read

Being surrounded by bullshit is one thing. Having your mind fucked is quite another. The former is irritating, but the latter is violating and intrusive (unless you give your consent). This title investigates and clarifies this phenomenon, taking in the ancient Greeks, Shakespeare and modern techniques of thought control.
