R. D. Laing never gave easy answers to difficult questions. This is reflected in the following interview, which I conducted with him in his Belsize Park office in London on February 22, 1980, and which is among his most far-reaching and nuanced interviews. The interview concerns his views on the human condition and civilization and provides insights into the way Laing saw important philosophical issues such as ways of seeing, the nature of the self, and culture. They remain very relevant today. This interview was originally broadcast on Melbourne radio station 3RRR, as part of a series I co-directed in 1980, “The Psychoanalytic Revolution.”—D. K.
