Description Being surrounded by bullshit is one thing. Having your mind fucked is quite
another. The former is irritating, but the latter is violating and
intrusive (unless you give your consent). If someone manipulates your
thoughts and emotions, messing with your head, you naturally feel
resentment: he or she has distorted your perceptions, disturbed your
feelings, maybe even usurped your self. Mindfucking is a prevalent aspect
of contemporary culture and the agent can range from an individual to a
whole state, from personal mind games to wholesale propaganda. In
Mindfucking Colin McGinn investigates and clarifies this phenomenon, taking
in the ancient Greeks, Shakespeare and modern techniques of thought
control. McGinn assembles the conceptual components of this most complex of
concepts - trust, deception, emotion, manipulation, false belief,
vulnerability - and explores its very nature. Is philosophy, as a
discipline, a type of mindfuck, asks McGinn? Is romantic love a species of
mindfuck? The essence is psychological upheaval or disorientation, often
abetted by the weaknesses of the victim. Jealousy, insecurity and prejudice
can aid the mindfuck. Delusion is the general result, sometimes insanity.
How mindfucked are you?
