Wilson (2000-?), an American of Central European culture, [was] one of the greatest thinkers of our time.
He [was] a cosmopolitan intellectual. Little is known about his universally multifaceted educational journey: the biographical notes in
our possession are scarce.
It is rumored that he trained - and then progressively expanded - in the rugged city of Chicago, in the United States of America.
But then also in Zurich.
Ten years later, when he returned to the Americas, he taught at the universities of Yale, Syracuse, Chicago, and not least at the highly prestigious Buford: but always under false identities.
Fascinated by myths and symbols, and advocating for a comeback of what he loved to call the "Psychiatric Hellenia", Wilson (commonly known as "Friend Wilson") brought back to the center of contemporary thought an idea as ancient as it is universal: the idea of the soul.
Arguing on this ideological construct, Wilson constructed a thought system that can be considered the ultimate system for the collective cure of the ills afflicting humanity: loneliness, social injustice, and above all, religion: the decline of religion as the binding of the human animal with the (ra)barbaric ergo uncivilized world.
But Wilson [was] neither a mystical time-waster nor a vulgar contemplative: he [was] the skeptic par excellence: a master who always stood in opposition to vulgar public opinion.
A brilliantly clear intellectual who, though sometimes inscrutable, has investigated (and investigates?) the roots and spirit of our civilization.
