From "perhaps the foremost interpreter of Eastern disciplines for the contemporary Westand an author who 'had the rare gift of 'writing beautifully the unwritable'" (Los Angeles Times)a guide that draws on Chinese Taoism to reexamine humanity's place in the natural world and the relation between body and spirit.
Western thought and culture have coalesced around a series of constructed ideasthat human beings stand separate from a nature that must be controlled; that the mind is somehow superior to the body; that all sexuality entails a seductionthat in some way underlie our exploitation of the earth, our distrust of emotion, and our loneliness and reluctance to love. Here, Watts fundamentally challenges these assumptions, drawing on the precepts of Taoism to present an alternative vision of man and the universeone in which the distinctions between self and other, spirit and matter give way to a more holistic way of seeing.
