Somewhat uncommon thus. By the author of The Outsider. "This book is not a final solution of the problems that preoccupy me -- how could it be? Rather, it is the opening of a new line of thought that increases the problems I have already raised in The Outsider. But at least I have tried to answer the accustion that the Outsider concept is just an intellectual fad, with no real relevance to the problems of the world in the twentieth century." --Autobiographical introduction. Contents: The Anatomy of Imagination, The Outsider and History, Jacob Boehme, Nicholas Ferrar, Blaise Pascal, Emanuel Swedenborg, William Law, John Henry Newman, Søren Kierkegaard, Bernard Shaw, Wittgenstein and Whitehead.
