The author explains the significance of such images as water and the female and allegories such as the "Dream of the Butterfly," and shows how they connect to each other and how ancient Chinese philosophers understood them. The book also sheds new light on many important allegories by showing how modern translations often conceal the wit and humor of the Chinese original. Written for those who are interested in Asian beliefs and religions as well as for specialists in the field of comparative and Chinese philosophy, Daoism Explained is a comprehensive and fascinating - yet easy-to-follow - introduction to Daoist thought.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 228mmItem Length: 152mmItem Weight: 283gBook Series: Ideas ExplainedRelease Year: 2004 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
