Arguing that we ought to look to psychedelic aesthetics of the 1960s
in relation to current crises in liberal democracy, this book
emphasizes the intersection of European thought and the psychedelic.
The first half of the book focuses on philosophical influences of
Herbert Marcuse and Antonin Artaud, while the second half shifts
toward literary and theoretical influences of Aldous Huxley on
psychedelic aesthetics. Framed within an emergent discourse of
political theology, it suggests that taking a postsecular approach to
psychedelic aesthetics helps us understand deeper connections between
aesthetics and politics.
