These fifty-nine pioneering articles by scholars from around the
world (17 women / 22 men) showcase recent advances in Taoist
Studies. Instead of upholding conventional paradigms, these
innovative studies expand our very concepts of Taoism by probing
social and historical dimensions unimagined by twentieth-century
minds. Overturning virtually all customary premises, they
demonstrate Taoist activities by centuries of emperors, officials,
literati, and women; Taoist involvement in medicine, the sciences,
and the very origins of printing; Taoist art, architecture, music;
even Taoists as healthcare providers. Rather than decaying in
late-imperial or modern China, Taoism has continued to evolve and
reach new audiences (for instance marketing age-old
self-cultivation practices to educated men and women in today's
urban settings). A critical Introduction by Russell Kirkland
(author of Taoism: The Enduring Tradition and co-editor of
Routledge Studies in Taoism) analyzes the Present Generation
compared to earlier scholars. This collection offers today's
freshest, most stimulating insights into Taoism's durability and
rich diversity. It is an essential work of reference and is
destined to be valued by scholars and advanced students as a vital
research tool.
