Summary "Dissociations" by Remy de Gourmont is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century. The work presents a series of reflections on various topics, analyzing the complexity of human thought and emotion through a critical lens. Gourmont engages with themes such as art, morality, religion, jealousy, and the nature of happiness, encouraging readers to reconsider commonly accepted notions in society. The opening of "Dissociations" introduces the author's methodical approach to exploring the separation of ideas and sentiments that often remain tangled in public thought. Gourmont voices his observations on how people persist in uniting opposing ideas, such as the intertwining of art and morality. He expresses a sense of frustration at humanity's failure to disentangle these concepts, positing that his lifelong dissociation work might be in vain, as society continues to cling to the confusion. This sets the stage for a thought-provoking examination of societal norms and the dynamics of individual perception throughout the collection. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
