Terence Kemp McKenna è stato uno scrittore, naturalista e filosofo statunitense.



Fu una delle personalità più significative della controcultura americana degli ultimi anni, importante esponente della cultura psichedelica, oltre che fondatore di una istituzione privata per ricerche etnobotaniche. McKenna ha cercato in modo metodico e sistematico di interpretare la storia dell'evoluzione dell'umanità attraverso l'uso controllato di psichedelici, ricoprendo per alcuni il ruolo che fu già di Timothy Leary negli anni sessanta.
