The book “Nature, Man and Woman” is both similar and different from other works by Alan Watts. In it, the author develops and deepens his favorite ideas about the fundamental unity of man and the world, about the polarity of opposites and about non-verbal comprehension that allows us to feel this unity and this polarity. And at the same time, this book gives us the opportunity to take a fresh look at the work of a man who has had and continues to have a great influence on the spiritual quest of our time. As in The Way of Water, the philosophy of Tao occupies a central place in this book. But, unlike “The Way of Water,” here the author makes a much deeper analysis of the problems of Western civilization and discusses in detail the role of Christianity in shaping the worldview of modern man. Like “The Way of Zen,” this book contains unforgettable lines about enlightenment and how it transforms everyday life. But unlike The Way of Zen, this book is not limited to Zen Buddhism - it deals with many aspects of Western and Eastern thought. Like The Book of Taboos, this book is addressed to all who seek inner integrity and harmony with the world. However, unlike “The Book of Taboos,” here the author covers gender issues in detail. Without calling us to make a new sexual revolution, he introduces us to the ancient ideal of sacred love - by following which, spontaneously and impartially, we can transform our lives beyond recognition. As an appendix to the book “Nature, Man and Woman”, a collection of essays and lectures is published, covering Alan Watts' thirty-year period of creativity - from his first essay on Zen Buddhism to his last seminar with the symbolic title "Play and Survival", held just a few weeks before his sudden death.
