Gold Winner for Philosophy, 2017 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards

To commemorate the 2015 centenary of the birth of Alan Watts (1915â€“1973), Peter J. Columbus and Donadrian L. Rice have assembled a much-needed collection of Wattsâ€™s scholarly essays and lectures. Compiled from professional journals, monographs, scholarly books, conferences, and symposia proceedings, the volume sheds valuable light on the developmental arc of Wattsâ€™s thinking about language and mysticism, Buddhism and Zen, Christianity, comparative religion, psychedelics, and psychology and psychotherapy. This definitive collection challenges Wattsâ€™s reputation as a â€œpopularizerâ€ or â€œphilosophical entertainer,â€ revealing his concerns to be much more expansive and transdisciplinary than is suggested by the parochial â€œZen Buddhistâ€ label commonly affixed to his writings. The editorsâ€™ authoritative introduction elucidates contemporary perspectives on Wattsâ€™s life and work, and supports a bold rethinking of his contributions to psychology, philosophy, and religion.
