Alan Watts introduced millions of Western readers to Zen and other Eastern philosophies, but he’s also recognized as a brilliant commentator on Judeo-Christian traditions as well as a celebrity philosopher who exemplified the ideas — and lifestyle — of the 1960s counterculture. In this compilation of controversial lectures, delivered at American universities throughout the decade, Watts challenges readers to reevaluate Western culture’s most hallowed constructs. Watts treads familiar ground, interpreting Eastern traditions, and also covers new territory, exploring the counterculture’s basis in the ancient tribal and shamanic cultures of Asia, Siberia, and the Americas. In the process, he addresses some of the era’s most important questions: What is the nature of reality? And how does an individual’s relationship to society affect this reality? Filled with his playful, provocative style, the talks show the remarkable scope of a philosopher in his prime, exploring and defining the '60s counterculture as only Alan Watts could.

Een prachtig stukje nalatenschap. Heb bijna al zijn seminars geluisterd en dit is zeker een sterke verzameling van hoogtepunten. Dat gezegd hebbende heb ik dus al wel veel van zijn wijsheid mogen horen en het luisteren naar deze collectie leek alles samen te brengen. Hij brengt het zo menselijk, begrijpelijk en kan iedereen mee de diepte innemen en je op een zorgzame manier een kijkje naar jezelf laat nemen.
