ALAN WATTS, The Myth of Self A Profound Lecture on Identity and Existence
Alan Watts (1915-1973) was a British-American philosopher, writer, and speaker known for popularizing Eastern philosophy and spirituality in the Western world. He was born on January 6, 1915, in Chislehurst, England, and moved to the United States in 1938.
Watts had a deep interest in philosophy, psychology, and comparative religion, with a particular fascination for Eastern philosophies such as Zen Buddhism, Taoism, and Hinduism. He was greatly influenced by the teachings of Zen masters, and he sought to bridge the gap between Eastern and Western thought.
Watts authored numerous books on philosophy, spirituality, and the human experience. Some of his notable works include "The Way of Zen," "The Wisdom of Insecurity," "The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are," and "The Joyous Cosmology." His writing style was accessible, engaging, and often blended intellectual rigor with poetic and metaphorical language.
Beyond his writings, Watts was a captivating speaker who delivered lectures and talks that captivated audiences. He had a talent for conveying complex philosophical concepts in a relatable and engaging manner. His talks covered a wide range of topics, including the nature of reality, the self, consciousness, the art of living, and the pursuit of happiness.
Alan Watts had a significant influence on the counterculture movement of the 1960s and 1970s. His ability to communicate Eastern wisdom to Western audiences helped shape the popular understanding and appreciation of Eastern philosophy in the Western world. Today, his teachings continue to inspire and resonate with individuals interested in philosophy, spirituality, and the search for meaning.
