THE TWO HANDS OF GOD IS A FASCINATING EXPLORATION AND EXPOSITION OF THE MYTHS OF POLARITY, THOSE CRUCIAL SYMBOLIC RELATIONSHIPS SUCH AS LIGHT AND DARKNESS, GOOD AND EVIL, WHICH ILLUSTRATE THE INNER UNITY OF OPPOSITES. IT IS A RICH SOURCE OF THE THEMES THAT HAVE MADE ALAN W. WATTS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR OF CONTEMPORARY PHILOSPHERS. THOSE THEMES, CENTERING ON THE IDEA THAT EXPLICIT OPPOSITION CONCEALS IMPLICIT UNITY, ARE SUPERBLY ILLUSTRATED HERE BY A TREASURY OF STORIES AND MYTHS FROM CHINESE, INDIAN, EGYPTIAN, IRANIAN, AND EARLY CHRISTIAN SOURCES, AND BY TWENTY-THREE PHOTOGRAPHIC PLATES TO WHICH DETAILED EXPLICATIONS ARE SUPPLIED.

Summary: "In The Book Alan Watts attacks the problem of alienation head-on, and lays down specific guidelines for a new experience of life that incorporates the essence of his insights into Western science and Eastern intuition. In formulating his own solution to the urgent problem of personal identity, Dr. Watts modernizes and restates the ancient Hindu philosophy of Vedanta, demonstrating its power as a means for breaking through our world of cool relationships, canned lives, and outsider anxieties. In such chapters as 'How To Be a Genuine Fake,' 'The World Is Your Body,' and 'It,' he persuades the reader to a self examination that shatters 'the big lie and hallucination' of alienation. A summary statement of Alan Watts' investigations into the nature of the self, The Book offers a fresh and provocative answer to the question 'Who am I?'"
