Springer - Dao Companion to Xuanxue (Neo-Daoism) Book

Explore the depths of Chinese intellectual history with this comprehensive volume on Xuanxue (Neo-Daoism). Published by Springer, this work provides a holistic look at the philosophical and religious traits of the movement. By examining the core concepts of non-being, being, and oneness, readers gain a clear understanding of this significant period in thought. This book goes beyond the major figures to examine thinkers and texts on the periphery. This approach demonstrates how Xuanxue grew from the continuous evolution of pre-Qin Daoism rather than arising in isolation. With 25 chapters, the text covers major philosophical arguments and figures from the Wei-Jin dynastic period. It is an essential resource for anyone studying Eastern mystical philosophy or the historical development of Chinese ideas.
