- Synopsis
- The world is full of people who look like charismatics and try to act the part, says retired sociologist Rieff, but they are all surface and no depth: we are all mirrors, but mirrors of the mundane world around us rather than of any internal or transcendent spirit. He looks at the charismatic foundations of culture, the therapeutic foundations of anti-culture, and the triumph of the therapeutic over the charismatic.
