Su High Existence Peter Sjöstedt tenta di trovare una connessione tra lo sviluppo della filosofia occidentale e l’uso, a volte sporadico, a volte massiccio, di sostanze stupefacenti dei maggiori filosofi, da Platone a Schopenhauer.

Philosophy itself often arrives as a mind-altering experience, a new mode of perception unto our cosmos, at times so radical as to be hazardous. Thus can philosophy be seen as a psychoactive substance—yet the place of psychoactive substances in philosophy is not apparent. In this mildly chronological overview we shall shed light upon the history of the notable western philosophers who took psychedelic chemicals and how this may have influenced their thought—how psychedelics influenced philosophy.
