5.0 out of 5 stars Alan Watts was a pantheist. So what?, July 23, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The pantheism of Alan Watts (Paperback)
I must like and agree with Alan Watts since I have read over 40 of his books. I also have nothing against pantheism. If Watts was a pantheist then that is a good thing in my opinion. There are a lot of worse things than pantheism - theism, for instance.

The author of this book does a good job of quoting Watts and laying out the thinking of Watts. So this is a good reference book on Alan Watts.

But the tone of the book and the wrap-up chapter are rather critical of Watts. The fact that the author of this book does not care for Watts's philosophy of life and ontological viewpoint is a big "So what?" - lots of people didn't care for Alan Watts. No one can please everybody.

Again, one can just overlook the author's judgment and enjoy this book as a good reference book on Alan Watts.
