This book explores ancient Daoist philosophy and argues against
interpretations that paint the early Daoist philosophers as mystics
or cosmologists. It claims that Dao is best understood as awareness
and that Daoist concerns are primarily with the nature of human
experience, meditation, and our relation to the world. The Dao of
Awareness starts by placing Daoist philosophy within the context of
ancient Chinese thought. It then proceeds by critically engaging
each of the major Daoist thinkers, works, or schools: Laozi, Yang
Zhu, Zhuangzi, the Inward Training, Liezi, and Neo-Daoism. It
concludes by pointing to ways in which Daoist thought can offer
insights into contemporary Western philosophy. Throughout the book,
comparisons are drawn with Western thinkers, psychological
research, and Buddhist thought. The book is both a scholarly
examination of Chinese and cross-cultural philosophy as well as an
original work on ethics, metaphysics, and the philosophy of mind.
