"Counterculture" is a book that allows you to understand how countercultural movements have influenced the shape of the modern world. The author, Tomasz Maślanka, consistently combines various aspects of counterculture, creating a theoretically "working" whole. He uses the tradition of sociological explanations, modifying it and treating it heuristically. The author's narrative language allows for a smooth transition from philosophical considerations to the social imaginarium of the counterculture.

The book avoids banalized and mythologized approaches, encouraging us to look at the sixties, the counterculture and the forms of protest as a kind of cultural palimpsest. The author does not make the mistake of reconstructing the past by using adaptive interpretations, but strictly fulfills the requirements of a solid historical interpretation in its sociological variant. In this way, he rehabilitates the traditions of cultural sociology, giving them new life.

The analyses of changes in intimacy and family life in the context of the counterculture are supported by Freud, Fromm, as well as cultural details, historical snapshots and panoramic views of the revolution during its occurrence. This book is an invitation to dialogue with the past, to understand the roots of modern social and cultural movements. "Counterculture" is not only an analysis, but also an inspiration to reflect on the condition of modern society and its future.
