Tao. Water path. Wats A.

Alan Wats (1915–1973) - a famous British philosopher, writer, lecturer, one of the most outstanding translators and popularizers of eastern philosophy in the West, wrote more than 25 books.

"Tao. The path of water ”is the last book of Alan Wats, which was never completed.

In it, the author rethinks the ancient philosophy of Tao, addressing both old and modern sources; gives an explanation why Tao can be recorded only by Chinese hieroglyphs and what makes it sense; He describes the four basic principles of Taoism: the polarity of Yin-Yang, Tao, Uwei and De and explains what the main mistake in comprehension of Tao consists in.

He interprets the Chinese teachings of the Tao in the same manner as Zen Buddhism in his classical fundamental work “Zen Way”, is simply, but at the same time deeply and worthy. Critics agreed that this work - the last in his creative and life path - became the best monument of life and literature Alan Wats.
