Following Alan Watts' acclaimed book on Zen Buddhism The Way of
Zen, he tackles the Chinese philosophy of Tao. The Tao is the way
of man's cooperation with the natural course of the natural world.
Alan Watts takes the reader through the history of Tao and its
interpretations by key thinkers such as Lao-Tzu, author of the Tao
Te Ching. Watts goes on to demonstrate how the ancient and timeless
Chinese wisdom of Tao promotes the idea of following a life lived
according to the natural world and goes against our goal-oriented
ideas by allowing time to quiet our minds and observe the world
rather than imposing ourselves on it. By taking in some of the
lessons of Tao, we can change our attitude to the way we live.
Drawing on ancient and modern sources, Watts treats the Chinese
philosophy of Tao in much the same way as he did Zen Buddhism in
his classic The Way of Zen. Including an introduction to the
Chinese culture that is the foundation of the Tao, this is one of
Alan Watts' best-loved works.
