About this listen

Hans-Georg Moeller has achieved the perfect blend with Daoism Explained. It is both a fascinating introduction on Daoist thought as well as an original and insightful contribution to Eastern philosophy. This book will take the place of The Tao of Pooh by Hoff. Like that book, Doaism Explained offers a comprehensive presentation of Daoist philosophy that is interesting and easy to follow.

The study sheds new light on many Doaist allegories by showing how modern translations often concealed the wit and humor of the Chinese original or imposed alien philosophical frameworks on them. It attempts to take away the metaphysical and Christian disguises with which Daoist philosophy has been obscured by Western interpretations in the past 100 years.

The book is published by Open Court. The audiobook will be published by University Press Audiobooks.

unspeakably profound and beautifully written

i feel a far deeper connection to Daoism after reading this fantastic dive into daoist philosophy. My only hope is that Hans Georg-Moeller continues to publish more audioboks based on his knowledge of daoism. I most certainly will be listening to this one over and over again until that happens
