Recenzii

'Amid the paucity of reliable textbook and introductory treatments of Daoism, Kirkland’s work does an outstanding job of synthesizing contemporary scholarship with a highly readable overview of the historical, textual, and ritualistic aspects of Daoism. - Jeffrey Dippman, Central Washington University, Religious Studies Review

'Those of us who have been waiting for a thoroughly undated introduction to Daoism need wait no longer. Russell Kirkland, among America's best known scholars of Daoism, has offered us one in Taoism: The Enduring Tradition. ... [T]his work is a genuinely new introduction to Daoism that helps clear away much of the dense underbrush of Daoist history and textual relations, and also utilizes the most recent findings and conclusions of scholars of Daoism to set the reader on a more solid path to understanding China's most misunderstood and underappreciated transformational tradition.'
– Ronnie Littlejohn, Philosophy East & West
