Catherine Despeux's book Taoism and Self Knowledge is a study of
the Internal Alchemical text "Chart for the Cultivation of
Perfection." It begins with an analysis of pictographic and
symbolic representation of the body in early Taoism after which the
author examines different extant versions of the "Chart" as it was
transmitted among Quanzhen groups in the Qing dynasty. The book is
comprised of four main parts: the principal parts of the body and
their nomenclature in Internal Alchemy, the spirits in the human
body, and the alchemical processes and procedures used in thunder
rituals and self-cultivation. This is a revised, expanded edition
of the original French edition Taoisme et connaissance de soi. La
carte de la culture de la perfection (Xiuzhen tu) Paris, 2012.
