Après des mois d’attentes je l’ai enfin reçu (et j’en profite pour vous montrer mon super bureau en fond 😁) !! J’ai déjà lu 40 pages et pris des dizaines de notes, ce livre fait partie du renouveau historiographique auquel j’appartiens aussi qui arrête d’étudier les psychotropes

I wrote a piece about how William James, with his curiosity & emphasis on description, provides a better foundation for the study of certain intense and meaningful altered states of consciousness than Freud's cynical dismissals or Jung's often overeager credulity and enthusiasm:
