About This Item
London: Granada. Very Good/Very Good. 1981. First Edition. Hard Cloth Cover. 8vo Dust jacket complete, unclipped, in a clear protective sleeve. No ownership marks.Indexed. 306pp clean and tight. 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. .
