Selected Writings - Reich, Wilhelm

. .

Résumé :
For readers unfamiliar with Wilhelm Reich's literature who are looking for that first book to read, we highly recommend Selected Writings - An Introduction to Orgonomy. First published in 1960. This selection of writings from the works of Wilhelm Reich is presented as an introduction to the science of Orgonomy, and includes key chapters from Ether, God and Devil, The Function of the Orgasm, Character Analysis, The Cancer Biopathy, Cosmic Superimposition, The Oranur Experiment, and The Murder of Christ, as well as articles from the Orgone Energy Bulletin. This anthology is not intended to replace any of Reich's books, bulletins, and journals, but rather to serve as an introduction to them. It is hoped that these selections will enable the reader to follow the functional logic of Reich's body of work and to experience the excitement of a scientific legacy that extended for over a third of a century, culminating in Reich's discovery and practical applications of orgone energy. Selected Writings also contains a brief biography of Reich, a concise chronology of Reich's scientific development, a glossary of terms from the science of Orgonomy, a bibliography of Reich's publications, Reich's Response to the Federal Court's Complaint for Injunction, and the Court's Decree of Injunction ordering the banning and destruction of Reich's publications....
