Description

Introduction to The New Existentialism by Colin Wilson explores the concept of human values through a phenomenological examination of consciousness. Wilson argues that Nietzsche is the true founder of the new existentialism, as he heralded the coming of the superman with his valiant optimism and zeal. The new existentialism emphasizes the importance of becoming conscious of every thought, belief, and act that expresses our most intimate self. By applying ourselves and bringing our willpower to bear, we can make a science of our happiness and fulfilment, turning every day into an adventure and a chance to test our abilities. This philosophy is optimistic, believing in the success of its mission and urging us to recognize our active role in constructing our lives. By reading Wilson's work, you'll gain insight into the new existentialism's goal of creating the ideal man - the man yet to be born. You'll also learn how to break free from the "passive fallacy" and awaken your ontological ambitions.
