Alan Watts on Carl Jung and the Philosophy of Good and Evil
(Agrippa's Diary) In this insightful lecture [in a lisp that is not Watts' natural voice but modified], renowned philosopher Alan Watts delves into an in-depth exploration of world-famous psychologist Carl Jung's groundbreaking theories and his personality.

I'm no fud-dud Ziggy Freud
Watts, known for his deep understanding and eloquence, beautifully unpacks and contemplates the profound perspectives of Jung, the illustrious psychologist and visionary explorer of the human psyche and founder of analytical psychology (Jungian analysis).

  • field of psychology
  • Western spirituality,
  • the malice inherent in humor,
  • self-acceptance
