Alan Wilson Watts (6 January 1915 – 16 November 1973) was a British-born American philosopher, writer, and speaker, best known as an interpreter and populariser of Eastern philosophy for a Western audience. ... Watts wrote more than 25 books and articles on subjects important to Eastern and Western religion, introducing the then-burgeoning youth culture to The Way of Zen (1957), one of the first bestselling books on Buddhism. In Psychotherapy East and West (1961), Watts proposed that Buddhism could be thought of as a form of psychotherapy and not a religion. He considered Nature, Man and Woman (1958) to be, 'from a literary point of view - the best book I have ever written.'[2] He also explored human consciousness, in the essay 'The New Alchemy' (1958), and in the book The Joyous Cosmology (1962). ... According to the critic Erik Davis, his 'writings and recorded talks still shimmer with a profound and galvanizing lucidity.'

Both interesting, each in their way - I was interested mainly in Alan Watts, who has done much to elucidate zen buddhism, taoism, hinduism etc. for western audiences
