Reviews
"In this timely, persuasive, and utterly compelling new book, Edmundson reveals the ingenious subtlety of selfsabotage. The sheer wit and good humour of Edmundson's writing make this a unique and indispensable work of cultural criticism."--Adam Phillips, author of The Cure for Psychoanalysis and On Getting Better "Reading The Age of Guilt saved me years on the couch and made this cultural-political moment of super-ego warriors and their enthralled supplicants far more comprehensible. The urge to punish and be punished becomes the key to most human mysteries and miseries in this scandalously well-written and perversely funny intercession."--Laura Kipnis, author of Love in the Time of Contagion: A Diagnosis " The Age of Guilt is exactly the book we need right now. Mark Edmundson explains how the superego, that huge roadblock to happiness, keeps getting bigger and more punishing in the internet age--and he even suggests some ways to make ourselves happier and less superego-driven. Whether or not you're familiar with Freud, you will benefit from Edmundson's sage advice."--David Mikics, author of Stanley Kubrick: American Filmmaker, "Edmundson . . . is an engaging writer, whether he is describing Freud as heroic ideal, football, reading, teaching or . . . the politics of his students. His tone is friendly yet incisive, more conversational than academic. . . . Insightful."--Michael Roth, Washington Post "In an era of internet saturation, The Age of Guilt offers a salutary good, a critical look at contemporary culture with an eye toward changing it for the better."--Joshua Hall, Los Angeles Review of Books "In this timely, persuasive, and utterly compelling new book, Edmundson reveals the ingenious subtlety of selfsabotage. The sheer wit and good humour of Edmundson's writing make this a unique and indispensable work of cultural criticism."--Adam Phillips, author of The Cure for Psychoanalysis and On Getting Better "Reading The Age of Guilt saved me years on the couch and made this cultural-political moment of super-ego warriors and their enthralled supplicants far more comprehensible.

Synopsis
How Freud's concept of the super-ego can help us to understand the harsh cultural climate of the digital age, How Freud's concept of the super-ego can help us to understand the harsh cultural climate of the digital age Cancellation, scapegoating, raving on Twitter. How did the Internet, which began as a place for open thought and exchange, become a forum for cruelty and judgment? Can a whole culture become mentally ill? How do we understand and respond to this problem? Mark Edmundson views contemporary culture and discourse through Freud's concept of the super-ego, the moralistic and frequently irrational inner judge. The poet William Blake was attuned to this "dark pressure of self-condemnation," and Nietzsche knew its power as well. One way to mitigate (temporarily) the self-judgment of the super-ego is to aim it outward instead, judging and even punishing others for supposed infractions. Naturally these targets fight back, resulting in a cascade of bitterness and even hatred. Edmundson traces the destructive passion of the super-ego on politics, race, gender, class, education, and more, drawing on psychological studies, classroom experience, and the work of Adam Phillips and Slavoj Zizek. Edmundson proposes ways to manage the super-ego and even to transform it into an affirmative power. In The Age of Guilt , Edmundson renews the promise of Freudian theory as he explores our unique social moment with psychological insight, humanity, and erudition.

Well l never received my package due to the postal service. They shipped the package the same day I ordered. As soon as I let them know of the problem They issued a refund no questions as. They faced the problem very professional. That's why I'm submitting a 5 Star. You not only shine for your good work. You can also shine by when there is a problem facing it and doing the right thing. I would order again if they have what I need.
