of Asia

of essays compiled form lectures & seminars, Alan Watts offers a unique
synthesis of the traditional branches of Eastern thought (Hinduism, Yoga,

common foundation in mystical experience.The Philosophies of Asia is far
more than just a review of the highlights of these great religions &
philosophies though, it is an essential collection of Alan Watts's finest
lecture in which he managed to simplify concepts that continue to be difficult
for the analytical Western mind to grasp. |
