Time, and in particular timelessness, plays a key role in Daoism,
both in its more speculative and practical dimensions. This book
explores this in comparison with other philosophies and religions.
It alternates presentations of a more theoretical, speculative
nature with those that focus on concrete life situations, examining
the psychological potentials of time perception, the nature of
situations, Daoism's holistic worldview, similarities between Laozi
and Plotinus, and Daoist versus Greek geometric models of the
cosmos. They further study the role of Daoist notions in New Wave
Taiwanese cinema, relate Daoist ideas to modern thinkers and its
cultivation techniques to Zen Buddhism, trace the relevance of the
Yijing to the Jungian concept of synchronicity, and explore the
problem of boredom and predictability in prolongevity and
immortality. The book offers a wide range of topics and
perspectives, engaging with new materials while stimulating
innovative insights and opening new avenues of exploration. A must
for all interested in the nature of Daoism, issues of time, and
comparative philosophy.
