Description
Amazon.com After D.T. Suzuki, Alan Watts stands as the godfather of Zen in America. Often
taken to task for inspiring the flimsy spontaneity of Beat Zen, Watts had an undeniably keen
understanding of his subject. Nowhere is this more evident than in his 1957 classic The Way of
Zen, which has been reissued. Watts takes the reader back to the philosophical foundations of
Zen in the conceptual world of Hinduism, follows Buddhism's course through the development of
the early Mahayana school, the birth of Zen from Buddhism's marriage with Chinese Taoism, and
on to Zen's unique expression in Japanese art and life. As a Westerner, Watts anticipates the
stumbling blocks encountered with such concepts as emptiness and no-mind, then illustrates with
flawlessly apt examples. Many popular books have been written on Zen since Watts' time, but few
have been able to muster the rare combination of erudition and clarity that have kept The Way of
Zen in readers' hands decade after decade. --Brian Bruya Read more Alan W. Watts, who held
both a masterâ€s degree in theology and a doctorate of divinity, is best remembered as an
interpreter of Zen Buddhism in particular, and of Indian and Chinese philosophy in general.
Standing apart, however, from sectarian membership, he has earned the reputation of being one
of the most original and “unrutted― philosophers of the twentieth century. Watts was the
author of some twenty books on the philosophy and psychology of religion that have been
published in many languages throughout the world, including the bestselling The Way of Zen.Â
An avid lecturer, Watts appeared regularly on the radio and hosted the popular television
series, Eastern Wisdom and Modern Life,in the 1960s. He died in 1973. Read more
