The world has entered a new era that humans have never experienced
before. Scholars predict that different cultures will replace
nations to compete with each other to find a better way of life for
humans. The modern world with a powerless United Nations as a
platform for countries to work out their difference at various
levels in pretty much like the ancient Chinese super state of
primary societies from 2200 BC to 476 BC when Taoist lifestyle was
popular. If all human societies are divided into the genetically
coded primary society and the man-made secondary society, Western
civilization started with secondary societies while Chinese
civilization started with primary societies. Taoist philosophy
summarizes the lifestyle in the ancient primary society. Taoism
emphasizes the value of naturalness and simplicity, which is well
complimentary to the modern philosophy of materialism. This book
contains 14 essays: The first one presents an outline and the
remaining ones explore various aspects of Taoist philosophy in
modern terms. The author has made every effort to accommodate both
academic and general readers. There are four academic essays that
all start with a summary, which allows general readers to know the
main content if they decide to skip over the main part of the
essay. The remaining essays provide a much lighter reading from the
author's own experience to the lives his mother and grandmother had
lived.
