Taoism: An Introduction to Taoist Philosophy and Principles (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798215616284)

Taoism is an ancient philosophical concept originating from 500 B.C.E. in China. According to a widely accepted myth, it was created by a natural philosopher named Lao Tzu, who believed in keeping harmony in all areas of life. Due to its reverence for doing what comes naturally, Taoism became very popular in the region very soon after its emergence. In modern times, dictated by rigid societal norms, unrealistic expectations, and economic, cultural, and other pressures, Taoism can provide much-needed relief. Regardless of the reasons for your interest, this book offers a comprehensive explanation of Taoism as a religion, including its philosophical concepts and principles. You'll also learn how this religion differs from Buddhism and Confucianism.
