Robert Anton Wilson

    18. január 1932 – 11. január 2007

    Robert Anton Wilson bol americký spisovateľ, esejista, filozof a polyhistor, ktorého dielo sa vyznačovalo snahou búrať zaužívané stereotypy a nabádalo k pohľadu na svet cez viacero perspektív. Svoje dielo označoval za pokus o narušenie podmienených asociácií a prijatie sveta s vedomím, že žiaden model nie je absolútnou pravdou. Wilson propagoval všeobecný agnosticizmus, ktorý sa netýkal iba Boha, ale všetkého. Jeho písanie, rozhovory a verejné vystúpenia pomohli zviditeľniť diskordianizmus, skupinu, ktorej bol aktívnym členom.

      The ultimate weapon isn't this plague out in Vegas, or any new super H-bomb. The ultimate weapon has always existed. Every man, every woman, and every child owns it. It's the ability to say No and take the consequences. - Hagbard Celine, Leviathan Illuminatus! Part III cheerfully ushers in the apocalyptic high-camp conclusion of the Illuminatus! Trilogy. The 9th and 10th Trips are performed by a grand ensemble cast. The Appendices (which are most instructive) are performed by the incomparable Ken Campbell, bringing the audiobook trilogy full circle. The Illuminati has never looked so good. All Hail Eris!

      Timothy Leary, Ph.D. has been a world-renowned psychologist, a defrocked Harvard professor, a relentless champion of brain change, a reputed drug guru, a stand-up philosopher, and a prisoner of the Nixon administration. He has been called 'the most dangerous man on the planet.' While in prison, at time in solitary confinement, he wrote the first version of this book. ("I must confess that at that time I was alienated, a bit daft and given to occasional fits of irritation. So color the first version of this book indigo—as in Jail House Blues.") Now revised and updated, Neuropolitique presents some of Dr. Leary's best ideas, his reflections on the past and his hope for the future.

    • Quantum Psychology offers a coherent and humorous description of how our thoughts, values and behaviors have been colored by our use of language and our prevailing view of the universe. While Quantum Mechanics, relativity, non-Euclidean geometries, non-Aristotelian logic and General Semantics have revolutionized our view of the world, the habits of daily human thought still sit deeply rooted in the thought patterns and linguistic conventions of the middle ages. Through an introduction to E-Prime (English without use of the verb "to be"), the Eight Circuits of the Brain Model, and the labyrinth of Quantum Mechanic's various views of reality, Quantum Psychology can help your brain improve your perception of yourself and the world.This Hilaritas Press edition features a New Introduction by David Jay Brown!The Robert Anton Wilson Trust Authorized Hilaritas Press Edition

    • Throughout human history, thoughts, values and behaviors have been colored by language and the prevailing view of the universe. With the advent of Quantum Mechanics, relativity, non-Euclidean geometries, non-Aristotelian logic and General Semantics, the scientific view of the world has changed dramatically from just a few decades ago. Nonetheless, human thinking is still deeply rooted in the cosmology of the Middle Ages. Quantum Psychology is the book to change your way of perceiving yourself—and the universe—for the 21st century. Some say it's materialistic, others call it scientific and still others insist it's mystical. It is all of these—and none.

    • The great modern classic of a brilliant rebel's personal exploration into the nature of consciousness Featuring a New Introduction by John Higgs "Cosmic Trigger deals with a process of deliberately induced brain change. This process is called "initiation" or "vision quest" in many traditional societies and can loosely be considered some dangerous variety of self-psychotherapy in modern terminology. I do not recommend it for everybody . . . briefly, the main thing I learned in my experiments is that "reality" is always plural and mutable." - Robert Anton Wilson from the Preface The Robert Anton Wilson Trust Authorized Hilaritas Press Edition

      WHAT BEGAN AS A SIMPLE SCHOLARLY PURSUIT ENDS IN A WAKING NIGHTMARE... Sir John Babcock, endowed with wealth and a healthy dose of curiosity, has stumbled on to an ancient order. With what he now knows, there will be no turning back. Even if he wants to. Not after he is trained as an initiate and knows of their perverted lusts—and their murders. Not even when growing terror sends him, trembling through Europe, trying to stop the unstoppable. Neither the unknown physics professor, Albert Einstein, nor the wild and obscure lrishman, James Joyce, and certainly not Sir John, can grapple with Aleister Crowley and his ancient, terrible order. An international order of beings so horrifying that it defies human imagination—almost.... An order based in hell and determined to rule the world with evil—forever.

      The Eye in the Pyramid

      "If baseball can have a designated hitter, why can't science fiction have a designated underground classic? Well, apparently it can, and Illuminatus! is its name." - Booklist It was a deadly mistake. Joseph Malik, editor of a radical magazine, had snooped into rumors about an ancient secret society that was still alive and kicking. Now his offices have been bombed, he's missing, and the case has landed in the lap of a tough, cynical, streetwise New York detective. Saul Goodman knows he's stumbled onto something big - but even he can't guess how far into the pinnacles of power this conspiracy of evil has penetrated. Filled with sex and violence - in and out of time and space - the three books of The Illuminatus! Trilogy are only partly works of the imagination. They tackle all the cover-ups of our time — from who really shot the Kennedys to why there's a pyramid on a one-dollar bill — and suggest a mind-blowing truth. "An epic fantasy... a devilishly funny work, loaded with humor, puns, up-level ironies that make you burst out laughing." - New Age Journal

      Sie waren uns durch die ganze Geschichte hinweg stets präsent: Das "Unsichtbare Kollegium" der Weisheit und ihre Widersacher – die Zerstörer – die aus den Flammen emporsteigen, um erneut zu brennen. Die Geschichte der Welt ist ihre Geschichte: eine Verschwörung so groß und allumfassend wie das Rätsel der Zeit selbst. In Neapel, Italien, im Jahr 1764, steht ein junger Aristokrat kurz davor, ein Stück des großen Musters zu entdecken. Durch einen herzlosen Mord und seine Leidenschaft für die schöne Tochter seines Feindes enthüllt der junge Sigismundo Celine das Geheimnis der Rossi-Brigade, ehemaliger M.A.F.I.A.-Attentäter, und die geheime Agenda der gefürchteten Inquisition. Im Wind des tobenden sozialen Sturms, der bald Europa und Amerika mit der Flamme der Revolution durchziehen wird, beginnt Sigismundo seine Entdeckungsreise, begleitet von dem Jungen Mozart, Dr. Frankenstein, Casanova, dem Spion, Liebhaber und Magier... und einem geheimnisvollen, violettäugigen Attentäter, der ihn "Bruder" nennt. Begleite ihn. Die Reise hat gerade erst begonnen.
