  Grant Schuyler's essay "Colin Wilson"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Wilson is particularly good at understanding the psychological underpinnings and supports of philosophies.
Wilson's book The Occult (1971) is a thoroughgoing and, for me, fascinating exploration of the history and structure of occult movements.
This, according to the cover blurb, is a "celebration of the occult." It is a gathering, edited by Wilson, of nine essays on occult figures from Nostradamus to the egregious Uri Geller.

 the autobio of Colin Wilson
Wilson believes what saved him was a sudden recognition that he possessed an "essential self", an identity deeper and stronger than his everyday persona, that enabled him to transcend such moments.
Wilson is candid about the delights (and fiascoes) of his early sexual adventures in the fields of Leicestershire and evokes the sense of transgression that surrounded these encounters in pre-permissive England.
Wilson's media supporters like Bill Hopkins also hyped up the Angry Young Men mythology (soon to include Kingsley Amis and John Wain) imposing the mantle of a movement on a very diverse clutch of writers, only united by their youth and their provincial antecedents.

Posted by: Peter L. Winkler on August 16, 2006 12:25 AM All of the comments here talk about Colin Wilson as though he were no more than a litterateur who was briefly fashionable and then failed to repeat his initial success.
Not to be thwarted, I wrote to Wilson, who immediately and without question dispatched his own photocopied, bound facsimile of this long-out-of-print study to a complete stranger, who might have been a serial-killer-in-training for all he knew.
Wilson is a very gracious man when it comes to his fans too.

 The Outsider (Colin Wilson) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lawrence, Vincent Van Gogh, Vaslav Nijinsky, George Bernard Shaw, William Blake, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Fyodor Dostoevsky - Wilson explores the psyche of the Outsider, his effect on society, and society's effect on him.
Wilson then engages in some detailed case studies of artists who failed in this task and tries to understand their weakness - which is either intellectual, of the body or of the emotions.
The final chapter is Wilson's attempt at a "great synthesis" which he justifies his belief that western philosophy is afflicted with a needless "pessemistic fallacy" - a narrative he continues throughout his ouvre under various names (St. Neot Margin for example) and illustrated in several metaphors ("everyday is Christmas day").
