{"product_id":"the-way-of-awareness-in-james-giles-9781931483452","title":"The Way of Awareness in Daoist Philosophy","description":"This book explores ancient Daoist philosophy and argues against interpretations that paint the early Daoist philosophers as mystics or cosmologists. It claims that Dao is best understood as awareness and that Daoist concerns are primarily with the nature of human experience, meditation, and our relation to the world. The Way of Awareness in Daoist Philosophy starts by placing Daoist philosophy within the context of ancient Chinese thought. It then proceeds by critically engaging each of the major Daoist thinkers, works, or schools: Laozi, Yang Zhu, Zhuangzi, the Inward Training, Liezi, and Neo-Daoism. It concludes by pointing to ways in which Daoist thought can offer insights into contemporary Western philosophy. Throughout the book, comparisons are drawn with Western thinkers, psychological research, and Buddhist thought. The book is both a scholarly examination of Chinese and cross-cultural philosophy as well as an original work on ethics, metaphysics, and the philosophy of mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Giles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1931483450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781931483452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Three Pine Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.91w x 0.71d","brand":"James Giles","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49097102917887,"sku":"9781931483452","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-way-of-awareness-in-james-giles-9781931483452","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
