Scope and Contents
Internet: Released in 1970, eccentric Sensoriality is the last book published by Hausmann in his lifetime, so that it starts after a long period of neglect, to receive the testimony of admiration from younger generations. If the book is short, it is nonetheless a huge ambition: Shaping a new psychological and social conscience by making a clean sweep of two thousand years of history. It is homo sapiens that attacks Hausmann. He is indeed that, in his eyes invented the capitalist dictatorship and limited knowledge to a purely materialistic level, preventing the development of a human type with more universal brain and sensory abilities. The new man will be equipped with a "sensory eccentric", a mental energy transcending the limits of body and mind. In this sense, Sensory eccentric is both a utopia and a ruthless and deeply pessimistic so-called modern myth of progress and civilization criticism. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
