Title: The feast of fools
First published: 1969
Description: The author defines festivity as the capacity for genuine revelry and joyous celebration and fantasy as the faculty for envisioning radically alternative life situations. He proposes that a revival of both feast and fantasy will rejuvenate modern spirtuality by imitating the medieval Feast of Fools, where spirtual life was celebrated while political church traditions were socially mocked and evaluated.
