Book Summary
A combination of spiritual insight and outrageous behavior, wisdom and childishness, joyous high spirits and deep loneliness, Alan Watts (1915-1973) touched the lives of many with his teachings. In this penetrating biography, Furlong reveals how Watts was instrumental in introducing Eastern philosophy and religion to Western minds. The SkyLight Lives series reintroduces the lives and works of key spiritual figures of our time -- people who by their teaching or example have challenged our assumptions about spirituality, and have caused us to look at it in beneficial new ways. Through his widely popular books and lectures, Alan Watts (1915-1973) did more to introduce Eastern philosophy and religion to Western minds than any figure before or since. Watts was a renegade Zen teacher, an Anglican priest, an academic, a leader of the San Francisco renaissance, and the author of more than thirty books, including The Way of Zen.
