A conversation with Alan Watts

What is freedom? "The absence of anxiety", is what Alan Watts might have answered. In his elegant and lucid style, Watts anticipated many modern trends like Buddhism, yoga and mindful living. Drawing on Eastern philosophy and religion, Watts argues that it is only by acknowledging what we do not and cannot know, that we can find something truly worth knowing. We make use of the full range of online media to enter into a conversation with the legendary British philosopher and critically discuss his ideas.
