About this book
Colin Wilson's literary and sociological work "The Age of Defeat" examines the decline of the hero in Western civilization. The book is a part of Wilson's Outsider Cycle and was first published in 1959. Wilson presents his New Existentialism as the foundation for a philosophical revolution, urging a revolt against ordinariness and insignificance.
He suggests fostering a brand-new heroic consciousness that respects and cherishes self-control. The book exposes Wilson's seminal Fallacy of Insignificance and makes the case for a more thorough comprehension of both human strengths and flaws.
