A pesar de los padecimientos y de la monstruosa brutalidad sufridos, Frankl pudo reconocer que, pese a todo, la vida es digna de ser vivida y que la libertad interior y la dignidad humana son indestructibles. La logoterapia, método psicoterapéutico creado por el propio Frankl, se basa precisamente en la búsqueda del sentido de la existencia, en la que el ser humano asume la responsabilidad ante sí mismo, ante los demás y ante la vida.

To many in the age of Obama, America had succeeded in "going beyond race", putting the divisions of the past behind us. And then 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot by a wannabe cop in Florida; and then 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri; and then Baltimore blew up; and then gunfire shattered a prayer meeting at a church in Charleston, South Carolina. Suddenly the entire country awakened to a stark fact: Young Black men are an endangered species.

Avec Copernic, l'homme apprit qu'il n'était pas le centre de l'univers ; et avec Darwin, qu'il avait plus en commun avec le singe qu'avec Dieu. Sigmund Freud, père de la psychanalyse, devait apporter le coup de grâce avec l'idée que "le Moi n'est pas maître dans sa propre maison".

Until the twentieth century, scientists investigating the effects of drugs on the mind did so by experimenting on themselves. Vivid descriptions of drug experiences sparked insights across the mind sciences, pharmacology, medicine, and philosophy. But after 1900 drugs were increasingly viewed as a social problem, and the long tradition of self-experimentation began to disappear. Mike Jay brilliantly recovers a lost intellectual tradition of drug-taking that fed the birth of psychology, the discovery of the unconscious, and the emergence of modernism.
