5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent insight into Eastern Philosophy,
By bollmann.1@osu.edu (Columbus, Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Seeds of Genius: The Early Writings of Alan Watts (Paperback)
Generally speaking, Alan Watts "did his own thing" with the themes and thoughts of Eastern philosophy, often in such a way that "square" Buddhists and others sought to distance himself from him. In this book, where most of the selections are taken from when he was still in his early twenties, he is seen engaging the ideas of Zen, Taoism, Krishnamurti and other topics, for the first time, in a way that is more orthdox, yet also contains his fresh insights. Also of interest is a section of political writings, since Watts is generally veiwed as apolitical.
