ALAN WATTS - TIME (1975)

This 1st edition paperback, spanning 72 pages, distills Watts’ unparalleled ability to blend Eastern philosophy with Western curiosity into a compact meditation on one of life’s most elusive concepts. Written with his characteristic clarity and playfulness, Time invites readers to step beyond the ticking clock and into a deeper understanding of existence.

In this slim volume, Watts explores the nature of time—its illusionary grip on our minds, its roots in human perception, and its dissolution in the eternal now of Zen and Taoist thought. Through poetic prose and sharp insights, he dismantles the linear march of past, present, and future, revealing time as a dance of consciousness rather than a rigid framework. The 1st edition’s understated cover, often adorned with a simple yet evocative design, reflects the book’s minimalist profundity. A gem for collectors, spiritual seekers, or fans of Watts’ timeless voice, Time is a brief yet potent journey into the heart of the moment—an enduring reflection from one of philosophy’s most beloved guides.
