Wilson believes that everyday perception is affected by the intensity of the moment and can not be accepted for the truth about reality. The reason a posteriori has evolutionary advantage that prevents us get carried entirely by the blast or the emotions of the moment. To live properly we need access to more than just the everyday perceptions.

Colin Wilson (1931 2013) was an English philosophical writer and novelist. He also wrote widely on true crime, mysticism and the paranormal, eventually publishing 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. He wrote two major works devoted solely to philosophy, specifically existentialism: this book and "Introduction to the New Existentialism." When "Beyond the Outsider" came out in 1965, existentialism and phenomenology seemed to have run their course; they were not the fresh, vital streams they once had been; many believed that Camus, Sartre, and Heidegger had driven existentialism into the ground. Wilson disagreed. In "Beyond the Outsider" he seeks to revitalize that tradition, establishing the groundwork for a new existentialism of the future, a future that would go beyond the particular type of stoical pessimism that he loathed. His optimistic, existentialism was based on the principles of phenomenology he inherited from the earlier proponents of existentialism, a process wherein our innate preconceptions and fallacies are plucked out at the root. Change yourself, he argues, and you change the world. First Edition Thus (1966), unstated, but implied: no subsequent printings noted. Seller Inventory # 57302
