Description
"Daoism Explained is a comprehensive introduction to Daoist thinking. After orienting the reader with a "Very Short History of Daoism," author Moeller then moves on to an incisive analysis of the Wheel, the Body (of corpses and infants), the famous "Dream of the Butterfly," and other symbolic elements - in doing so, deftly illustrating Daorst beliefs and principles." "Moeller sheds new light on Daoist texts by showing how English translations often conceal the wit and humor of the Chinese originals and impose Western philosophical frameworks on them. He also examines Daoism's relation to Zen (Chan) Buddhism and to contemporary philosophy."--BOOK JACKET.
