Krátky popis
The Book On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are explores an
unrecognised but mighty taboo - our tacit conspiracy to ignore who,
or what, we really are. Alan Watts, key thinker of Western Zen
Buddhism, explains how to reconsider our relationship with the
world. We are in urgent need of a sense of our own existence, which
is in accord with the physical facts and which overcomes our
feeling of alienation from the universe.In The Book On the Taboo
Against Knowing Who You Are, Alan Watts asks what causes the
illusion of the self as a separate ego which confronts a universe
of physical objects that are alien to it. Rather, a person's
identity binds them to the physical universe, creating a
relationship with their environment and other people. The
separation of the self and the physical world leads to the misuse
of technology and the attempt to violently subjugate man's natural
environment, leading to its destruction.Watts urges against the
idea that we are separate from the world. Nowhere is this idea more
apparent than in the concept of cultural taboos. The biggest taboo
of all is knowing who we really are behind the mask of our self as
presented to the world.Through our focus on ourselves and the world
as it affects us, we have developed narrowed perception. Alan Watts
tells us how to open our eyes and see ourselves not as coming into
the world but from it. In understanding the individual's real place
in the universe, Watts presents a critique of Western culture and a
healing alternative.
