“A brilliant overview of the mind
and its mountains, of the best way to negotiate the gullies of despair and
attain the spiritual peaks.”
COLIN
WILSON
In this charming, unofficial letter to
the psychologist George Pranksy, Colin Wilson explains the psychodynamics of his
optimistic philosophy. All your favourite charms and nightmares are here,
including William James’s ‘vastation’, the ever-dependable, ubiquitous
robot and Proust’s herb tea - but there is also a splendid account of the
early French philosophers who influenced CW and the exciting discoveries of US
lawyer Dan Macdougald.
