Laing uses the concept of experience to provide a phenomenological approach to psychology. Thus, for Laing, experience includes and combines perception, imagination, fantasy, reverie, dream and memory. He is firm that experience "is not 'subjective' rather than 'objective', not 'inner' rather than 'outer', not process rather than praxis, not some doubtful data dredged up from introspection rather than extro-spection." Experience is the totality arising from the resolution of all these dichotomies, a sum greater than its parts. Behavior is only the external manifestation of experience, the sign of one person's experience that can be experienced by another. Experience...
Laing indicts modern society for producing an alienated experience and a false reality by indoctrinating its members to overemphasize the "outer" and suppress the "inner." By "inner" Laing means "out way of seeing the external world and all those realities that have no 'external,' 'objective' presence--imagination, dreams, fantasies, trances, the realities of contemplative and meditative states, realities of which modern man, for the most part, has not the slightest awareness."

If he sometimes has to sound more like an angry stepfather than a soul brother to make a point, that is all part of his plan. As he told diocese officials at the time of his hiring, "I want to be the H.N.I.C. That means the Head...
...Feux d'artifice rippled with pinks and light blues. Prokofiev's fiery Sonata No. 7 was dramatic and brutal when it had to be, gentle when that was called for. To Manhattan critics in the audience, it seemed that Hollander had never before bared his inner feelings quite so convincingly...
