  • Nature, man, and woman

    by Alan Watts ...
    Western thought and culture have coalesced around a series of constructed ideas—that human beings stand separate from a nature that must be controlled; that the mind is somehow superior to the body; that all sexuality entails a seduction—that in some way underlie our exploitation of the earth, our distrust of emotion, and our loneliness and reluctance to love.

Watts shares the sense of this nonsense in Buddhist philosophy, and its practical ... Read more
