Description: Introducing Daoism, Hardcover by Kohn, Livia, ISBN 0415439973, ISBN-13 9780415439978, Brand New, Free shipping in the US In barely two hundred and fifty pages Kohn (religion, Boston University, emerita) provides an amazingly comprehensive introduction to the Chinese religion/philosophy of Daoism. She traces the development and alterations in Daoism from its beginnings to the present. Giving clear lucid explanations of complex concepts, Kohn touches on every aspect of Daoist life, including health, diet, exercise and divination. Each chapter contains suggestions for further reading and discussion. The main points are highlighted in boxes and there are many illustrations. There is a glossary of terms along with a pronunciation guide. Kohn does an excellent job of presenting the all-encompassing nature of Daoism as well as the ways in which it has been fragmented both by the contemporary government of China and Western dilettantes who pick and choose the aspects they wish to try.
