Chen is a leading contemporary Chinese thinker and spokesperson for a new Daoist approach to existential and socio-political issues. He was born in mainland China in 1935, but after having resettled to Taiwan, he received his education there and was a student activist in the 1960s. He became famous in the Chinese-speaking world with his writings on Nietzsche, Laozi and Zhuangzi. At present he is a Professor at Peking University. This volume collects representative essays from the past 25 years which not only outline Chen’s interpretation of Daoism as a deeply humanist way of thinking and living, but also show how he employs this philosophy in a critique of totalitarianism and neo-imperialism.Modern Chinese philosophy ;Volume 15.Taoist philosophyTaoist philosophy.181/.114Chen Guying1601064Moeller Hans-Georg1964-Jones DavidFlavel SarahMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812002703321The humanist spirit of Daoism3951597UNINA
