Grand Pope and Laughing Guidepost of MLA

Robert Anton Wilson is a National (and, if we may be so bold, Galactic) Treasure. Through his prolific and vastly influential writings and the 100's of lectures and seminars given over the last 40 years, Wilson has entertained and transformed several generations, on an ever-expanding global scale. The alchemical mixture that is R.A.W. includes a quantum psychologist, literary scholar, conspiracy theorist, existential philosopher, magical adept, playwright, political activist, visionary novelist and Discordian Pope. Maybe Logic Academy is proud to offer Wilson self-directed courses based on his live 2004-2005 MLA courses and a life-time of scholarship and experimentation.

Wilson is an acclaimed author of over 35 books -- all of which extraordinarily are still in print. He was also an Associate Editor of Playboy in the late 1960's, a Futurist, playwright, poet, lecturer and stand-up comic. Wilson's novel Illuminatus! has been reprinted in many countries and adapted (by Ken Campbell) into a ten-hour epic drama. In 1986 -- only ten years after publication -- Illuminatus! won the Prometheus Award as a "classic" of science-fiction. Wilson stars in the documentary Maybe Logic , which won Best Documentary award at the San Francisco Film Festival, 2004. On January 11, 2007, Robert Anton Wilson slipped from his body and left for the stars. Good travels dear friend, we love you.
