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 nomind,
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. 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
