Reviews

The overall argument is a direct challenge to the prevailing tendency to read much early Daoism politically. The author confronts this issue directly and makes a very strong case for an essentially religious reading. As a result of this work, we can now proceed to make more intelligent and interesting comparisons of Chinese Daoism with other religious traditions.
