The Daoism of Lao-zi and Zhuan-zi

ByPeter M.K. Chan

The purpose of this book is to by pass all intermediaries so as to let Lao-zi and Zhuan-zi to speak directly for themselves. What it offers is a systematic and friendly version of what Lao-zi and Zhuan-zi had actually said in the very documents that are known to contain their words, namely: the Dao Der Jing and the Book of Zhuan-zi. It will be seen that contrary to popular understanding, the Daoism of Lao-zi and Zhuan-zi is not really mystical or mysterious. It should be characterized rather as metaphysically sophisticated and anti-establishment. A total of 87 pages with Chinese textual documentation, suitable for students of Chinese philosophy, culture and language.
