Colin Wilson Quote

لقد انتاب الإنسان شعور منذ القرن الثامن عشر وبعد صرخة نيتشه المعروفة، بأنّه تُرِكَ وحيداً في هذا العالم الخاوي. وهو بهذا يشبه الطفل الذي استيقظ لتوه ذات صباح، ليجد من يخبره أنّ أباه قد توفي وأنّه ينبغي عليه أن يتحمل مسؤولية الأسرة. إنّ هذا الإحساس بالحرمان من الأب إنّما هو من أعظم الصدمات النفسية التي يمكن للمرء أن يقاسيها.

About Colin Wilson

Colin Henry Wilson (26 June 1931 – 5 December 2013) was an English existentialist philosopher-novelist. He also wrote widely on true crime, mysticism and the paranormal, eventually writing more than a hundred books. Wilson called his philosophy "new existentialism" or "phenomenological existentialism", and maintained his life work was "that of a philosopher, and (his) purpose to create a new and optimistic existentialism".
