Drugs, Addiction and Initiation: The Modern Search for Ritual

Drugs, Addiction and Initiation: The Modern Search for Ritual
- Used Book in Good Condition
Luigi Zoja argues that the pervasive abuse of drugs in our society can in large part be ascribed to a resurgence of the collective need for initiation and initiatory structures: a longing for something sacred underlies our culture's manic drive toward excessive consumption. In a society without ritual, the drug addict seeks not so much the thrill of a high as the satisfaction of an inner need for a participation mystique in the dominant religion of our times: consumerism.
