Download or read book Alan Watts In the Academy written by Alan Watts and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2017-04-24 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gold Winner, 2017 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards in the Philosophy category To commemorate the 2015 centenary of the birth of Alan Watts (1915–1973), Peter J. Columbus and Donadrian L. Rice have assembled a much-needed collection of Watts'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 Watts's thinking about language and mysticism, Buddhism and Zen, Christianity, comparative religion, psychedelics, and psychology and psychotherapy. This definitive collection challenges Watts's reputation as a "popularizer" or "philosophical entertainer," revealing his concerns to be much more expansive and transdisciplinary than is suggested by the parochial "Zen Buddhist" label commonly affixed to his writings. The editors' authoritative introduction elucidates contemporary perspectives on Watts's life and work, and supports a bold rethinking of his contributions to psychology, philosophy, and religion.

No country resident ever wanted to leave it except when they had to go away to Moonland for one month after getting married, which was one of their rules. The story vividly describes Tiny and Baby's wedding, their time at Moonland as a newly married couple, and their experiences after returning to That Country. The readers get more acquainted with That Country's functioning as the story moves forward. The fact that the queen did all the work in the castle, that nobody was supposed to hate anyone, or that the citizens had to follow the same rules everywhere in That Country adds to readers' curiosity.

Download or read book The War at Troy written by Lindsay Clarke and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2004-09 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Here two powerful generations of men and women live out their destinies in the timeless zone where myth and history intersect, and where quarrels among immortal gods mirror the conflicts of the human heart. This imaginative retelling will surely benefit from the renewed interest in this classic tale (the movie "Troy" starring Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom lands in May 2004).
