Offers an analysis of Daniel Paul Schreber's "Memoirs of My Nervous Illness". This book denies that Schreber's delusional system prefigured the totalitarian solution to a defining structural crisis of modernity. It shows how this figure succeeded in avoiding the totalitarian temptation by way of his own series of perverse identifications.
