Culture of Counter-Culture: The Edited Transcripts (Alan Watts Love of Wisdom Series)

Culture of Counter-Culture: The Edited Transcripts (Alan Watts Love of Wisdom Series) by Watts, Alan. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780804831970.

Counter-culture movements are as old as civilization itself, and, in this book, first written in the mid-1960s, Alan Watts traces the history of rebellions of conscience, particularly against spiritual leaders. By exploring the roots of the counter-culture movement in ancient tribal cultures and the shamanic peoples of Asia, Siberia, and the Americas, Watts addresses the big questions that face every generation: What is the nature of reality? How does our individual relationship to society affect reality? How can we engender transcendental experiences that awaken us to our spiritual selves?
