<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><b>Alan Watts's forgotten book on world mythology -- myths of light and darkness, good and evil, and the mystical unity that sees the transcendent whole behind apparent opposites</b><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><strong>The forgotten book on world mythology by Alan Watts<br /> </strong><br /> Alan Watts is today remembered as a trailblazing interpreter of Eastern philosophy, but <em>The Two Hands of God</em> reveals a different side of his multifaceted genius. In this ambitious work, Watts takes readers on a fascinating journey through the mythology of China, Egypt, India, the Middle East, and medieval Europe. His theme is the human experience of <em>polarity</em>, a condition in which opposing qualities define and complement each other. Light cannot exist without darkness, good cannot exist without evil, and male cannot exist without female. Chinese philosophy expresses this idea of universal polarity with the concepts of yin and yang, while other cultures express it through the symbolic language of myth, literature, and art. Watts illustrates the way great sages and artists across time have seen beyond the apparent duality of the universe to find a deeper unity that transcends and embraces everything.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Through his books and lectures, <strong>Alan Watts</strong> (1915-1973) introduced millions of Westerners to Eastern philosophies such as Vedanta, Taoism, and Zen Buddhism. Born in England, Watts immigrated to the United States in his twenties, worked as a chaplain and teacher, and wrote more than twenty books, including the bestsellers <em>The Way of Zen </em>and<em> The Wisdom of Insecurity</em>.
