With the collaboration of Al-Chung Liang-Huang

Inspired by the ancient texts of Lao-Tzu, Chuang-Tzu, the book of Kuan-Tzu and the I Ching, as well as at the studios by Joseph Needham, Lin Yutang and Arthur Waley - among others - Alan Watts has written, with Its inimitable style, a book destined to become the basic Western text on Taoism.

The book begins with a chapter about Chinese language - which, according to Watts, will become the second international language after English-, to explain, then what the Tao means (the flow of nature), Wu Wei (non-action) and you (the power that emanates from it). When he was surprised at death, at the end of 1973, Watts intended to complete the work of him writing about the political and technological implications of taoism and his current meaning. Although he could not finish the book, a friend and colleague, T'ai Chi master at Chung-Liang Huang - which was attended by and co-directed the latest conferences and seminars he wrote Watts, and who gave foot to this book - completed the text and It also provided many of the Chinese calligraphies that make up illustrative material.

The Camino del Tao is not only an introduction to the essence of taoism but, in a way, the Magna Opera that recapitulates the life and work of Alan Watts.
