Book Description | Alan Watts was a noted scholar of psychology associated with Eastern and Western philosophy, before becoming a champion of antithetical culture. In this classic 1961 work, Watts articulates his deep understanding of both Western psychotherapy and Eastern spiritual philosophies such as Buddhism, Taoism, Vedanta, and Yoga He discussed the problem of human beings in a seemingly aggressive world, in many ways discussing the social norms and illusions that restrict and obligate modern man. Watts also emphasized, taking into account the leading hypotheses, that the powerful visions of both Freud and Yang, which really pushed psychotherapy to the limits of liberation, can, if mixed with the secret of wisdom reached by the eastern traditions, free people from their conflicts with themselves. When psychotherapy is limited to helping us adapt to social norms, it does not amount to true liberation, as Watts sees it, compared to Eastern philosophy that explores our natural relationship with the universe. Alan Watts: countercultural icon and author of more than twenty books. He was also a spiritual philosopher and scholar of Buddhism, and pastor at Northwestern University. He died in 1973 |
