Clarke shows us how Taoist texts, ideas, and practices have been assimilated within a whole range of Western ideas and agendas. We see how Chinese thinkers such as Lao-tzu and Chuang tzu, along with practices such as Feng Shui and Tai Chi, have been used as a key Western inspiration in religion, philosophy, ethics, politics, ecology and health.The Tao of the West not only provides a fascinating introduction to Taoism, it also offers a timely insight into the history of the West's encounter with this ancient tradition, and into the issues arising from inter-cultural dialogue. Anyone interested in understanding the key influence Taoism has had on the West will welcome and embrace this book.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51862799581472,"sku":"NEW0415206197","price":268.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71RR6A2E76L.jpg?v=1781635626","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-tao-of-the-west-western-tranformations-of-taoist-thought-0415206197","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
