Steve Coutinho explores in detail the fundamental concepts of
Daoist thought as represented in three early texts: the Laozi, the
Zhuangzi, and the Liezi. Readers interested in philosophy yet
unfamiliar with Daoism will gain a comprehensive understanding of
these works from this analysis, and readers fascinated by ancient
China who also wish to grasp its philosophical foundations will
appreciate the clarity and depth of Coutinho's explanations.
Coutinho writes a volume for all readers, whether or not they have
a background in philosophy or Chinese studies. A work of
comparative philosophy, this volume also integrates the concepts
and methods of contemporary philosophical discourse into a
discussion of early Chinese thought. The resulting dialogue relates
ancient Chinese thought to contemporary philosophical issues and
uses modern Western ideas and approaches to throw new interpretive
light on classical texts. Rather than function as historical
curiosities, these works act as living philosophies in conversation
with contemporary thought and experience. Coutinho respects the
multiplicity of Daoist philosophies while also revealing a
distinctive philosophical sensibility, and he provides clear
explanations of these complex texts without resorting to
oversimplification.
