Transcendentalism like authors in french literature; Anonymous 2016-02-22 15:53:03 Post No. [Report]

Hello guys;
I'm looking for authors that write in french (it doesn't matter if it's the joual québécois, créole or the ol' regular french) that are similar to the american transcendentalists or the higher consciousness of Alan Watts.
I've tried to search french authors that were influenced by Lao-Tze or zen buddhism but couldn't find anyone. In my university they pointed Germaine de Staël, Benjamin Constant, François-René de Chateaubriand and Alphonse de Lamartine, but they were all distant from the american movement by a romantic thought that approached nature and philosophy in a more superficial way and would prefere social motifs than individualist ones.
English is my third language so I'm sorry for any mistake I can possibly commit in this search, thank you all very much for your time.

Both will do, if you know any work that's worth reading, I'm sure it will be great for my bibliography

I do not know many authors for asian doctrines, beyond the books ''to feel like a hippie''.

Marcel Conche is the one who writes about ancient greeks and lao-tse. he is the one who has written « Nietzche et le bouddhisme » for instance.

You can try Pierre Hadot too, who goes back to the ancient greeks. But he is a christian.
