Mind Unmasked

'Weinstein and Yetman offer a fascinating and complex analysis of human existence and consciousness. They create a unique and provocative approach to reflecting on what it means to be 'human', and the rational and non-ration influences that permeate perception.' - James M. Glass, Department of Government and Politics, University of Maryland, College Park

'From political theory to popular culture, Michael A. Weinstein is, and will always remain, the truly indispensable thinker, a writer of lucid, intense and urgent imagination at the height of his times. His penetrating essays and excurses in Mind Unmasked provide a powerful counterpoint to the "serio-comedy" of contemporary culture by actually bending the fragmented, split postmodern mind in the direction of a new philosophy of life. Here, Nietzsche's Zarathustra listens carefully again to this new telling of an ancient story: how do you continue to think lucidly, and in that thinking live ethically, in the midst of the culture blast that is life in the fast, but radically fragmented, 21st century?' - Arthur Kroker, Author of Exits to the Posthuman Future and Body Drift

'An invaluable inquiry into the phenomenology of mind and its application to contemporary socio-political life. A refreshing critique of totalizing discourses meant to project certainty and security at the expense of an appreciation for contingency and nuance.' - Timothy Seul, Waseda University
