The Pantheism of Alan Watts

David Clark’s Summary and critique of Alan Watts’ world view are instructive. Just as many people (and perhaps the culture as a whole) have moved away from complete confidence in human reason to a more intuitive approach to reality, so Watts abandoned Christianity in favor of a world view which finally eliminates conceptual thought. This study of Alan Watts provides an excellent opportunity to discuss the general world view of pantheism and to examine its implications for daily living.
