The Paranoid Vision: Deciphering the Mystery of Malevolence (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780985595333)

Everyday, we hear news reports about acts of madness and murder, and wonder what's behind it all. Mark Dillof contends that there exists a certain way of seeing the world called "the paranoid vision." Unlike clinical paranoia, it can infect an organization, even a society. It often hatches pernicious conspiracy theories and apocalyptic fantasies. Those under its sway include cult leaders, fanatics, terrorists, school shooters, and genocidal murderers. No worldview is more malevolent, nor more deadly. Dr. Dillof explores the paranoid vision from multiple perspectives, even contrasting it to the comic vision Like a modern-day Virgil, he takes the reader on a Dantesque journey, from the inferno - created by the paranoid vision - to joyful wisdom.
