About this book

Alan Watts questions the familiar sense of being an isolated self separate from the surrounding world. Drawing on Vedanta and ideas from Western science, he proposes a different understanding of identity and existence. His philosophical argument connects feelings of alienation with humanity's treatment of nature, considering how assumptions about the self shape relations with the universe.
