Octavo 9 1/2 x 6 1/4 inches tall. Tao: The Watercourse Way is a 1975 non-fiction book on Taoism and philosophy and is Alan Watts' last book. It was published posthumously in 1975 with the collaboration of Al Chung-liang Huang who also contributed a preface and afterword and with additional calligraphy by Lee Chih-chang. 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. Critics agree that this last work stands as a perfect monument to the life and literature of Alan Watts.--Publisher description A gaily highhanded epicurean book as Watts was increasingly inclined to produce in his later years and boxed in as it is between collaborator Al Chung-liang Huang's worshipful and pained fore- and afterwords it is a gem to remember Watts by. As Huang explains the text was allowed to write itself in the spirit of the Tao which means in practice that a footnote can be omitted and the interpretive tendency is latitudinarian; and Watts takes care to beg off as a scholar ". . . meticulous explorations of cultural anthropology have their virtue but I am more interested in how these ancient writings reverberate on the harp of my own brain which has of course been tuned to the scales of Western culture"--la!. Yet there is a flamboyant and fascinating display of learning more interesting than the fine Western tuning which pulls its strongest signals from the 1960's and complex indications of a personality that seems to have resisted inner pacification. Lively sweeping momentum with ideograms by Huang bibliography and streamlined notes. Good introduction to the Tao. ---Kirkus 1975 Pantheon hardcover books
