Thursday, September 25, 2003. Crowds, power, totalitarianism, and death. I talked about Paul Berman’s excellent intellectual history of terrorism, and here. Canetti then goes on and identifies the nature of the tyrant, and how he wields power, with the paranoiac, the mental patient. In a detailed case study of Max Schreber (again, I’m working on memory here since my books are in storage), he shows how the symptoms of his mental disease quite closely parallel the habits of mind of the leader.
