Rare Vintage Book.
Alan Watts - Nature of Man (1975).
This rare 1st edition hardcover, spanning 128 pages, captures the essence of Watts’ philosophical genius as he delves into the enigma of human existence with his trademark blend of wit, clarity, and Eastern insight. Written near the end of his life, this work reflects a seasoned Watts—playful yet profound—unraveling the interplay between individuality, society, and the cosmos.
In The Nature of Man, Watts examines what it means to be human, drawing from Zen, Taoism, and Western thought to challenge conventional notions of identity and purpose. With chapters that flow like a meditative conversation, he explores the illusions of separateness, the rhythms of nature within us, and the dance of consciousness that defines our being. The minimalist design of this 1st edition, often featuring a simple dust jacket, mirrors the elegance of his ideas. A treasure for collectors, philosophers, or fans of Watts’ eclectic wisdom, this book is a timeless companion for anyone pondering the eternal question: Who are we, really?
