The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are
Alan Watts · 1966
What it is
A reflection on the self, the cosmos and why the separate identity is a functional illusion.
Method
He questions the separation between observer and observed: symbolic reading systems work as mirrors, not as literal truths.
Molino's review
Watts brings Eastern thought (Taoism, Zen Buddhism) to the West without dogma. He provides the philosophical basis for reading symbolic systems without getting stuck on the letter.
