More than an artifact, it is both a riveting memoir of Watts's personal experiments and a profound meditation on our perennial questions about the nature of existence and the existence of the sacred. <p/><i>Includes Watts's article "Psychedelics and Religious Experience"</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Alan Watts describes with startling clarity and poetic beauty his drug-induced experiences."<br>-- <i><b>Contemporary Psychology</b></i> <p/>"<i>The Joyous Cosmology</i> is a carrier wave of information and insight, which has lost none of its subtlety, suppleness, or zest."<br>-- from the new introduction by <b>Daniel Pinchbeck</b>, author of <i>Breaking Open the Head</i> <p/>"A stirring introduction to one of mankind's newest self-examinations."<br>-- <i><b>Newsweek</b></i><br><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Spiritual philosopher <b>Alan Watts</b>, student of Buddhism, Anglican minister, chaplain at Northwestern University, and author of more than twenty books, died in 1973.
