Review & Description
Thedynamic relationship between the individual and society has been a centralconcern of Taoism from its ancient beginnings—which is perhaps why certainTaoist classics, like Sun Tzu’s Art ofWar, are so often consulted these days for leadership advice. Thisanthology presents a wide range of texts revealing the processes of integratingpersonal spirituality with social responsibility central to Taoist traditionacross the centuries and throughout the schools. There are a wealth ofapproaches to life in the world presented here, but at the heart of each is anunderstanding that even a mystic must be socially responsible and thatself-cultivation is primary preparation for anyone called to lead.
