This book's original and textually nuanced inquiries into Daoism avoid the all-too-common reliance on a one-sided interpretation of Heidegger's writings. Building on existing analysis, it reveals that Heidegger's conception of world-view philosophy prevented his genuine engagement with Chinese thought. Lacertosa's analysis of Laozi and Zhuangzi shows a number of concrete ways in which 'Chinese philosophy' can communicate messages that are missing or distorted in current Western philosophy. It will play a role in overcoming the unilateral trend in comparative philosophy, especially when it comes to Heidegger. - Lin Ma, author of Heidegger on East-West Dialogue: Anticipating the Event
