This book, translated through the cooperation of Chinese and American scholars, bridges the gap of understanding and provides a welcomed English text on this difficult religion.
Daoism is considered by many scholars to be the least understood of the world’s major religions. Understanding general trends of Daoism is no easy task for a Chinese person; it is even more difficult for a non-Chinese person because the development of Daoism is inseparable from that of Chinese culture. It seems a non-Chinese person must first broaden his or her conceptions of “philosophy” and “religion” in order to grasp the essentials of Daoism.
