Taoism

 

This page contains powerpoint presentations that introduce important ideas, concepts, and issues pertinent to the understanding of early Taoism. These ideas, concepts, and issues are based primarily on the Tao-te ching/Daode Jing (TTC/DDJ) and the Chuang-tzu/Zhuangzi (CT/ZZ). Although other texts related to Taoism may be discussed, they are discussed with special reference to these two texts. If you use Microsoft Office XP or 2003, you can view these powerpoint presentations easily. Otherwise, you need to download and install the Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer onto your computer.
