Review

Alan Watts was hugely influential in bringing Zen and other eastern philosophy into the mainstream… Turning here to the Chinese conception of Taoism, Watts looks at how practitioners have lived out its philosophy of balance through the ages. --Catholic Herald

Beautifully produced… classic work which examines the Chinese philosophy of Tao, with fine examples of Chinese calligraphy. --Yoga & Health

Watts begins with scholarship and intellect and proceeds with art and eloquence to the frontiers of the spirit… This is a profound and worthy work, left by a teacher to echo and re-echo. --Los Angeles Times

From the Inside Flap

Drawing on ancient and modern sources, Watts treats the Chinese philosophy of Tao in much the same way as he did Zen Buddhism in his classic The Way of Zen. Critics agree that this last work stands as a perfect monument to the life and literature of Alan Watts. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
