Taoism is an ancient Chinese school of thought concerning human existence. We will examine the ideas of Taoist thinkers like Lao-tzu, Chuang-tzu, and others to see how their views about the Tao, return, no-mind, and non-activity/naturalness provide a philosophy of the human condition.
Although it is not a requirement, it would be helpful if students brought the following book with them:
James Legge, The Texts of Taoism, volume 1, Dover 1981. ISBN 978-0486209906. This book can be easily ordered from any book shop or online.
