Overview
Whilst accounting for the present-day popularity and relevance of Alan Wattsā contributions to psychology, religion, arts, and humanities, this interdisciplinary collection grapples with the ongoing criticisms which surround Wattsā life and work.
Offering rich examination of as yet underexplored aspects of Wattsā influence in 1960s counterculture, this volume offers unique application of Wattsā thinking to contemporary issues and critically engages with controversies surrounding the commodification of Wattsā ideas, his alleged misreading of Biblical texts, and his apparent distortion of Asian religions and spirituality. Featuring a broad range of international contributors and bringing Wattsā ideas squarely into the contemporary context, the text provides a comprehensive, yet nuanced exploration of Wattsā thinking on psychotherapy, Buddhism, language, music, and sexuality.
This text will benefit researchers, doctoral students, and academics in the fields of psychotherapy, phenomenology, and the philosophy of psychology more broadly. Those interested in Jungian psychotherapy, spirituality, and the selfĀ and social identity will also enjoy this volume.
