Dear readers, Due to recent travel, and a more ambitious turn I am taking on my upcoming essay on the Covid, I have slightly modified my short-term plans and am offering you a brief introduction to the thought of Christopher Lasch, adapted from the little book I published a few years ago in French. With the multiplication of references to Lasch recently, and the very Laschian tone of Limits and Hope, I thought it would be useful for you all to have a short, but comprehensive presentation of his work as a resource material.
Every country should have a national dialogue based on the actual lived human reality of its citizens. My continued "rant" is that the American national dialogue has been captured and reduced to a psyop. My hope is, Substack becomes a place for a new American national dialogue.
Thank you for the overview of Mr. Lasch and his work. I am thrilled to encounter someone who recognizes the Psyche as the source of both our misery and the possible cure for our illness. Most Americans are trapped in a game of manipulated good cop/bad cop projection on some nondescript evil "other". Finding someone who can define the cause and effect forces in play is most welcome.
I'll be exploring Mr. Lasch and his work and recommending and subscribing to your site here on Substack. Keep it coming.
