This is an automatically translated description

Vienna psychoanalyst, sexologist, biologist Wilhelm Reich (born in Ukraine) is called the most influential and notorious thinker of the twentieth century. A representative of Freudian Marxism, the leader of the cult of sex and anarchy, he believed that he invented orgone and was engaged in the study of orgone energy, but his inventions were never recognised by science.

The book by British researcher Christopher Turner traces Reich's intellectual history in detail in various contexts: the formation of psychoanalysis and university life in Austria after the First World War; the formation of Nazism in Germany and its spread across Europe in the 1930s: moods, fears, intellectual pursuits, disappointments, the path of the eternal emigrant, incredible popularity, the destruction of Reich's scientific work by the American authorities, trial, arrest, and death in a cell a few days before his release. In this biography, Reich is an extraordinary personality, an extraordinary scientist whose work goes beyond the scientific canons and is in the grey area between science and pseudoscience.
