Sinossi
"Who will ever relate the history of narcotica?" asked Nietszche, adding that is is almost the history of culture itself. In this comprehensive study of intoxication throughout the ages, Stuart Walton argues that the alteration of consciousness hasa very real and necessary role within human society. The opium ideology of Coleridge, the birth of "Cool" within the Beat movement and the helter-skelter careers of Janis Joplin and Billie Holiday all form counterpoints to Walton's brilliantly accessible analysis of the reasons we take drugs. Drawing on anthropological, sociological, medical and historical research, Stuart Walton claims that intoxication is a fundamental human right, central to our status as social beings.
