Edwards explores the belief that there is often no greater obstacle to freedom than the assumption that it has already been attained; that boundaries of action and thought are not assumed to define the limits of the permissible, but the limits of the possible.
“[A] wise and acute analysis of the way our minds are controlled, not in a totalitarian state, but in a ‘democratic’ one. Edwards also suggests how we can escape this control in a self-help book which, unlike other books of this genre, connects our inner world of alienation with the world outside.”—Howard Zinn
“[A] treatise on what freedom truly means.… Burning All Illusions is an important philosophical and psychology text that should be on every political science curriculum reading list!”—Wisconsin Book Watch
