The Age of Defeat

Meer over het boek

The Age of Defeat explores the decline of the heroic ideal in Western culture and its broader implications for humanity. Colin Wilson presents his New Existentialism, a robust philosophy aimed at rekindling the notion of Man as a hero, emphasizing the extraordinary potential within individuals. Written in the mid-20th century, it addresses the contemporary crisis of identity and masculinity, urging a reevaluation of what it means to be a Man amidst cultural ambiguity and insignificance.
