And his answer, reached in a rich philosophical speculation, reassures. Death, he says, is the obliteration of memory, for the "I" of life is the recollection of things past. But it would not be pleasant to go on collecting memories into infinity. As the organism cannot know light without the knmowledge of darkness so it cannot know life without death. About the Author: Alan Wilson Watts (January 6, 1915 – November 16, 1973) was a British philosopher, writer, and speaker, best known as an interpreter and popularizer of Eastern philosophy for a Western audience. He wrote more than 25 books and numerous articles on subjects such as personal identity, the true nature of reality, higher consciousness, meaning of life, concepts and images of God and the non-material pursuit of happiness. In his books he relates his experience to scientific knowledge and to the teachings of Eastern and Western religion and philosophy.
