5. Daoism

I focus here mainly on the Daodejing (Tao-Te-Ching), one of the two earliest classics in the Daoist tradition, based on research published in two SUNY Press books, The Tao of the Tao-Te-Ching, and Tao and Method, where you can also read a detailed commentary on each section of the Daodejing.

• The Daodejing (Tao-Te-Ching): Its Historical and Social Context
• The Message of the Daodejing
• “Turning Back”: Explaining Paradoxes in the Tao-te-ching.

• ”Nature” as Part of Human Culture in Daoism
• History of Daoism
