Recenzii
‘Livia Kohn has demonstrated that she presents a view representative of a wide range of texts and approaches. No one has a more comprehensive perspective on Daoist Studies. The material is well-organized and goes into significant detail. I especially appreciate the fact that she doesn’t, as so many others do, over-generalize the scholarship on the subject. I believe that it will be of interest to scholars as well as students.’ – Alan Fox, Professor of Asian and Comparative Philosophy and Religion, University of Delaware, USA
‘For about a decade now, several of those of us working on Daoism have sought to find the best way to introduce its philosophers, teachings, methods, and practices into the stream of academic discourse in the West. Works by Moeller, Komjathy, Miller and my own introduction (among others I may have overlooked) have each made a contribution. However, no one has done more in showing the value of Daoism to scholars both inside and outside of China than Livia Kohn. This work builds on the mountain of scholarship she has developed and it extends even her most recent works on Daoism and Chinese Culture and her introduction to the tradition published in 2008. This text must be added to the libraries of teachers and students of Chinese religious studies and philosophies.’ – Ronnie Littlejohn, Virginia M. Chaney Distinguished Professor of Philosophy and Director of Asian Studies, Belmont University, USA
