Description
The Outsider by Colin Wilson is a seminal work on alienation, creativity, and the modern mind-set. First published over forty years ago, it made its youthful author England's most controversial intellectual. This book is an individual engaged in an intense self-exploration, creating their own set of rules and living them in an unsympathetic environment. Born into a world without perspective, the Outsider challenges cultural values and "stands for Truth." Through the lives of various artists, Wilson explores the psyche of the Outsider, his effect on society, and society's effect on him. This book illuminates the struggle of those who seek not only the transformation of Self but also the transformation of society as a whole. A new religion is needed, according to Wilson's conviction. This book is a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition, essential for anyone who shares this vision.
