“A selection of Watts’ energetic, provocative, and shibboleth-shattering talks is now in print for the first time, and his arguments remain vital. With disarming candor, intellectual delight, and spiritual acuity, Watts offers frank assessments of the church and keen elucidations of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Taosim. He also explores essential perceptions and contradictions in “Philosophy of Nature,” “Mysticism and Morality,” and “Religion and Sexuality.” In a time of raging fundamentalism, such erudite, witty, and positive inquiries into religion and right action are a balm and a light.”
