The Illusionless Man is an exploration, sometimes comic, sometimes serious, into the process of disenchantment, regarded with sympathy by this eminent poet-philosopher of the psychoanalytic world. In the first four Fantasies, the illusions of love, memories, work, and death are exposed, while in the two concluding Meditations, Wheelis writes intimately as a psychoanalyst about the illusions of his chosen profession. Stimulating, wise, and elegant, The Illusionless Man speaks as eloquently now as it did on its first publication in 1966.This is a beautifully written statement of a philosophy which will please and uplift, both by its bittersweet aphoristic quality and the solidity of its message.George Adelman, Library Journal No library descriptions found. |
