Who writes history? The victors, or paranoia? The Italian psychoanalyst Luigi Zoya will discuss the new Czech edition of his book Paranoia: The Madness That Makes History (PROSTOR) with journalist Michaela Krčmová and writer Michael Žantovský.
Luigi Zoja describes paranoia as an individual disorder that inevitably becomes collective, arguing that it is an aggressive and destructive potential hidden in each of us. The author explains this mental disorder through a historical perspective and links it to an analysis that moves from the realm of human psychopathology to the realm of the effects that it produces.
