Self Study. Notes on Schizoid State

The book by New York philosopher David Kishik, author of the Russian-translated work in fiction-philosophy The Manhattan Project. The Theory of the City is organized like a notebook with notes documenting certain stages of a long journey of solitude through... the history of thought, which has led to today's society of individuals completely locked inside themselves in liberal capitalism. By dissecting his life and work through a broad intertext that includes psychoanalysis, primarily Gantrip, Fairbairn, and Lacan, autofiction literature, philosophy, and cultural theory, Kishik not only reveals the life of texts within himself — in his autonomous, externally quiet, but internally rich thinking, in his biography and sexuality — but also demonstrates an inspiring way of living in the philosophical dimension.
