Product Description
In The Tao of the West, J. J. Clarke shows us how Taoism has transformed many key areas of Western life and thought. Taoist texts, ideas and practices have over several centuries been assimilated into a whole range of interests and activities found in the West. From the everyday impact of practices such as Feng Shui and Tai Chi to more esoteric formulations found in religion, philosophy, ethics, politics, and ecology, Taoism has inspired the Western world. The Tao of the West not only provides a fascinating introduction to Taoism but offers a timely insight into the history of the West's encounter with this ancient tradition.
