| Summary |
"Outsider Theory is a timely book about outlandish ideas, bringing readers on an adventure in intellectual history that stresses the urgency of taking seriously the ideas that might otherwise be regarded as errant, unfashionable, or even unreasonable. It shows how crucial it is to know how and why such ideas have left their impression on modern-day thinking and continue to shape its evolution"--Back cover |
