In this book, Paul Gordon argues that psychotherapy is fundamentally an ethical endeavour in which the therapist is called upon to take up a stance of responsibility and openness to the other. Such openness requires the abandonment of a great many preconceptions and a critical examination of what is too often taken for granted, including language, listening, interpretation and the therapeutic space. The author speaks engagingly of an encounter with poetry, arguing that its methods and metaphors can lead on to a new view of therapy. He also urges that an ethical therapy has to move beyond the confines of the consulting room to a real engagement with the world.

In "Tragedy after Nietzsche", Paul Gordon sets out to rescue the notion of tragedy for the modern world: a world that has lived through the Holocaust and the death of God. In settings as far-reaching as Kant, Yeats, Freud, and the American blues, Gordon argues for the continued importance of tragedy as a genre of "rapturous superabundance." In defining rapturous superabundance, Gordon explicates the tension between Apollonian principles of preservation and orderly boundaries, exemplified in Aristotle's theory of tragedy, and an ecstatic Dionysian energy - essentially a manifestation of will - that ruptures boundaries. Aristotle denied this disruptive element by focusing on tragedy as a rational framework for redefining moral boundaries. Nietzsche seized on it as the core of his theory of tragedy. Gordon expands on Nietzsche's definition of tragedy as the rapturous confrontation between the human and those forces that exceed it. Tapping Freud's theories about repressing forbidden desire, Gordon follows Nietzsche in identifying the Dionysian/Apollonian tension as the creative source of tragedy - indeed, of all great art - and also the source of the audience's pleasure at witnessing tragedy's spectacles of destruction and despair. In this context, tragic rapture becomes the pleasure beyond boundaries, and superabundance is established as a general aesthetic principle. Gordon applies Nietzsche's theory of tragedy to a variety of works that raise the question of tragic rapture in compelling ways. Why do we experience pleasure in identifying with the sadness of a blues singer? Should the Holocaust be considered tragedy? By understanding tragedy as a rapturous confrontation with the abyss of meaninglessness, "Tragedy after Nietzsche" affirms the eternal rebirth of a tragic spirit that unites passion and beauty with destruction.

Over 25 centuries ago, the Greek philosopher and sophist Protagoras equated his famous notion of “man ids the measure of all things” with another that declared “on every question there are two opposing answers, including this one.” The purpose of The Critical Double is to demonstrate that this second Protagorean notion constitutes one of the fundamental principles of aesthetic and rhetorical theory. This work formulates, for the firs time, a succinct model for the deconstructive analysis of aesthetic discourse. While the stated purpose of this work is to redefine a critical methodology, its originality lies in its emphasis on the notion of duality, or doubling, as the essential way to distinguish aesthetic from other forms of discourse. The first two chapters, on metaphor and rhetoric respectively, establish a solid basis for this model, for theories of metaphor and rhetoric have almost always been clearly marked by their emphasis on duality. The remaining six chapters all develop this model in their respective contexts.
