The Myth of Taoism Wayne L Wang Ph D

The purpose of this book is to restore the logical system of Laozi ??. We analyze the Tao Te Ching, or the Sutra of Tao and Te. and eliminate the errors introduced by Chinese Taoism. The result is that the philosophy of Laozi is not uniquely Chinese, but is a universal philosophy, consistent with the Greek, Western, and Buddhism philosophy. Traditional Taoism has a deep influence on society, it lets us accept fuzzy thinking and lose the correct principle of thinking. This book shows that the Sutra can be freed from the influence of Taoism and shows the true Laozi's philosophy. Because the hypothesis introduced by Wang Bi of the Pro-Wu group seriously distorts Laozi's basic thinking logic, so the Sutra cannot show consistent logic. This is due to a series of historical confusion. Since ancient times, China has considered logical thinking to be an act of "fooling and confusing people", so it does not pay attention to logic. Historical scholars often use the Sutra to come up with an interpretation, coupled with their observations, and show a special vision and thus express the mystery of Laozi's thoughts. In the age of the Chinese monarchy, this has never been a social problem.
