Who was Wilhelm Reich? Sexual liberator, dedicated early follower of Freud,was he a misunderstood genius,an 'Outsider',a man driven by an inner vision of truth,which he had to pursue at the cost of health and sanity? Or was he an egoist tormented by a desire for 'recognition',by the hunger for self-esteem? Colin Wilson writes: 'I
became fascinated by this enigma of a scientist turning,against his will,into a metaphysical philosopher. . . What I wanted to know was how this Freudian Marxist had come to abandon the scientific and political materialism of his early days.'
The quest for the real Wilhelm Reich is a continuously intriguing voyage of discovery.
Colin Wilson b.26/06/31- d.5/12/13.
His novels and books on philosophy,
the occult,crime and sexual deviance had won him an international reputation - his works being translated into five languages - Spanish,French,Swedish,Dutch and Japanese.
