The author is a disciple of the late Psychologist Alfred Adler, inventor of the universal inferiority complex. It is Langner's extrapolation of the master's work that man clothes himself in order to feel superior-to the beasts by hiding his apparatus for procreation and excretion, and to other men by putting...
