After the breakdown of this previously prospering area of psychopharmacology, and in the wake of clashes between counterculture and establishment in the late 1960's, a new generation of hallucinogen researchers used the hype around the neurosciences in the 1990's to bring psychedelics back into the mainstream of science and society. This book is based on anthropological fieldwork and philosophical reflections on life and work in two laboratories that have played key roles in this development: a human lab in Switzerland and an animal lab in California. It sheds light on the central transnational axis of the resurgence connecting American psychedelic culture with the home country of LSD. In the borderland of science and religion, Neuropsychedelia explores the tensions between the use of hallucinogens to model psychoses and to evoke spiritual experiences in laboratory settings. Its protagonists, including the anthropologist himself, struggle to find a place for the mystical under conditions of late-modern materialism.Hallucinogenic drugs -- ResearchHallucinogenic drugs and religious experienceNeuropsychopharmacologyHallucinogenic drugsResearchNeuropsychopharmacologyHallucinogenic drugs and religious experienceSciencePsychiatric Somatic TherapiesReligious PhilosophiesPharmacologyBehavioral SciencesPsychotropic DrugsModels, TheoreticalCentral Nervous System AgentsPhysiological Effects of DrugsBehavioral Disciplines and ActivitiesBiological Science DisciplinesNatural Science DisciplinesInvestigative TechniquesTherapeutic UsesHealth OccupationsReligionPharmacologic ActionsChemical Actions and UsesHumanitiesHallucinogensMysticismPsychopharmacologyResearchModels, PsychologicalHallucinogenic drugs -- Research.Hallucinogenic drugs and religious experience.Neuropsychopharmacology.Hallucinogenic drugsResearchNeuropsychopharmacologyHallucinogenic drugs and religious experienceSciencePsychiatric Somatic TherapiesReligious PhilosophiesPharmacologyBehavioral SciencesPsychotropic DrugsModels, TheoreticalCentral Nervous System AgentsPhysiological Effects of DrugsBehavioral Disciplines and ActivitiesBiological Science DisciplinesNatural Science DisciplinesInvestigative TechniquesTherapeutic UsesHealth OccupationsReligionPharmacologic ActionsChemical Actions and UsesHumanitiesHallucinogensMysticismPsychopharmacologyResearchModels, Psychological154.4Langlitz Nicolasauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1690896DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910820556203321Neuropsychedelia4066909UNINA
