The Supreme Identity

Alan Watts

This book offers what will be for many readers an entirely new approach to the comparison of Oriental and Western doctrines. It maintains that the Christian mind misunderstands Eastern thinkers through not recognizing that the Vedanta, Buddhism, and Taoism employ a whilly differnet symbolic language from that used in Christian theology. It shows that these doctrines are talking about the same spiritual reality as the Christian, but in a completely different way, involving a point of view and a kind of realization that the author feels is essential to human sanity.
