Alan Watts overturns the illusion that individuals are merely ‘egos’ contained within their bodies who are separate from the rest of the universe. Drawing on the Vedanta religion, Alan Watts explains how a person’s identity makes them the centre of the universe, and outlines that the universe has meaning only if each individual places himself at the centre of it. 

The separation of the Self from the physical universe has led to Mankind’s hostile attitude to the environment, and a destructive attitude to Nature. In coming to understand the individual’s real place in the universe, Alan Watts presents a critique of Western culture and a healing alternative.
