What does it mean to be human in an age of mechanised thought and spiritual disconnection? Kenneth Walker's Diagnosis of Man is a searching philosophical inquiry into the nature of human consciousness, arguing that modern civilisation has led mankind into a state of profound self-ignorance — blind to the deeper layers of the psyche and estranged from any genuine understanding of what we are. Drawing on his background as a surgeon and his engagement with the ideas of G.I. Gurdjieff and P.D. Ouspensky, Walker presents a bold synthesis of science, psychology, and mystical philosophy, contending that humanity's greatest ailment is not physical but existential. His prose is measured yet urgent, moving between clinical precision and visionary breadth with the ease of a man equally at home in the operating theatre and the realm of ideas. For any reader willing to question the assumptions of modern life, Diagnosis of Man remains a quietly revolutionary provocation.
