Wilhelm Reich and the Sexual Revolution [View all]
Excellent interview on Pacifica's Against The Grain with Christopher Turner, author of Adventures In The Orgasmatron, about Wilhelm Reich -- father of the sexual revolution, pseudoscience crank extraordinaire, and poster child for not mixing your politics with your science.
Wilhelm Reich fused Marx with Freud, had an enormous influence on the New Left and the counterculture, and provided the intellectual underpinnings for the sexual revolution. Yet he's almost forgotten today. Writer Christopher Turner discussses the complexities of the psychoanalytic pioneer, who invented the infamous orgone accumulator box -- used by William Burroughs and Norman Mailer amongst others -- and examines his legacy in hindsight.
