Vol. 1 (2008) - Vol. 11 (2018)
1. Pristine Affluence: Daoist Roots in the Stone Age
Livia Kohn (2017)
The golden age of Daoists, rather than being imaginary, cemplosely matches life in the Mesolithic, ca. 9000-5000 BCE, a sedentary form of hunting and collecting before the full development of agriculture and the rise of stratified societies and discriminating consciousness. The book examines fundamental Daoist values, modes of thinking, dietetics, communities, leadership ideals, nonviolence, gender equality as well as methods of selfcultivation in relation to prehistoric patterns. An enlightening account of Daoism in the context of human development since the Paleolithic, Pristine Affluence offers a new vision of the Daoist tradition, Chinese history, and essential human choices.
2. Daoist Priests of the Li Family: Ritual Life in Village China
Stephen Jones (2017)
Along with Jones’ moving film “Li Manshan: Portrait of a Folk Daoist” 一watch here: https://vimeo.com/155660741—this engaging and original book describes a hereditary family of household Daoist priests in rural north China. It traces the vicissitudes of their lives— and ritual practices—over the turbulent last century through the experiences of two main characters: Li Manshan (b. 1946), and his distinguished father Li Qing (1926-99). The story anchors changing ritual practice in the ethnography of ritual specialists and their patrons today. A vivid portrait of a rapidly changing society, the work will fascinate anthropologists, scholars of Daoism and folk religion, world-music aficionados, and all those interested in Chinese society.
3. Ecofamilism: Women，Religion，and Environmental Protection in Taiwan
Wan-Li Ho (2016)
Based on extensive interviews with women founders, leaders, and members of six non-governmental, often religious-based, organizations 19902015, Ecofamilism presents contemporary issues in Taiwan from the perspectives of social anthropology, geography, inter-religious cooperation, and global ethics. The book offers a new way of approaching life in contemporary Asia, portraying the experiences of Taiwanese women—whose gender roles are ancillary to motivations of family, religion, and society. Its key concept of ecofamilism pairs the notions of ecology and family while drawing on Chinese religio-cultural traditions of responsibility to the family to illuminate ecologically responsible positions toward society, environment, and all living beings.
4. Science and the Dao: From the Big Bang to Lived Perfection
Livia Kohn (2016)
Science and the Dao presents a comprehensive examination of core Daoist facets from the point of view of modern science. Exploring its cosmology, physiology, psychology, cultivation, and visions of immortality in the light of astrophysics, particle physics, paleoanthropology, behavioral kinesiology, cell biology, and more, the book enhances the credibility of traditional Daoist ideas and practices, thereby making them more accessible to modern people. At the same time, it offers additional perspectives to scientific understanding as well as new dimensions of practical application, offering a new and enhanced level of translation—of Daoism into Western science as well as of theory into practice—with beneficent effects for both. It is an absolute must for scholars, practitioners, and anyone interested in the interface of religion and science.
5. Tao of Sustainability: Cultivate Yourself to Heal the Earth

This work presents the traditional Daoist path of self-cultivation as a framework for bringing human beings back into a sustainable relationship with the Earth.

Part philosophy, part meditation manual, part nature awareness guide, Tao of Sustainability draws on a variety of disciplines and traditions, from Daoism to Stoicism, from Ecopsychology to Buddhist mind training, from the visual arts to movement, and thereby offers numerous pathways towards reconnecting with nature and the Dao.

8. New Visions of the Zhuangzi
Livia Kohn, ed. (2015)
A collection of thirteen essays on the ancient Daoist philosophical work Zhuangzi, this presents new angles and approaches. It overcomes the traditional division of schools in favor of topics, sheds new light on key philosophical notions, examines Zhuangzi's use of language, and explores issues of his use of language. In addition, it also applies modern neuroscience to its instructions, explores its vision of the ideal mind, and connects Zhuangzi's teachings to issues of education and community relevant in contemporary society.
9. Rediscovering the Roots of Chinese Thought: Laozis Philosophy
CHEN Guying (2015)
This book translates Lao Zhuang xinlun, a key work in contemporary Chinese Daoist scholarship. It offers a unique discussion of the Laozi, arguing —in contrast to standard Western scholarship— that the text goes back to a single author and identifying him as an older contemporary, and even teacher, of Confucius. This places the Confucian Analects after the Laozi and makes the text the most fundamental work of ancient Chinese thought. Chen explores these debates regarding these points, providing evidence based on materials excavated from Mawangdui and Guodian. His book is fascinating documentation of contemporary Chinese arguments and debates previously unavailable in English. It is nothing less than a complete revision of the history of Chinese thought with Daoism as its major focus.

The book integrates a vast spectrum of original and secondary sources, examines the history and ideas in a wide context, both within China and cross-culturally, and relates many of the Zhuangzi's key notions and practices to modern science, notably physics, biology, and psychology. Encyclopedic in scope, meticulous in execution, and skillfully presented, it is a must for anyone interested in traditional Chinese thought.

40. Living with the Dao: Conceptual Issues in Daoist Practice
Livia Kohn(2001)
Daoist practice is often seen as a predominantly physical and meditational activity, where the alignment of the body and harmonization of qi bring about the transformation of the emotions and unfolding of the spirit. While this is entirely plausible, progress along the path in all cases also requires the rethinking and reformulation of one's basic ideas about the world, the adjustment of the mind and sense of identity to the flow of the Dao.
Little has been written on this subject, practitioners focusing largely on the presentation of techniques, while thinkers and scholars tend to concern themselves mainly with cosmological, philosophical, and historical issues. This 250-page collection is designed as a first step to fill this gap, and for this it presents ten papers on difference conceptual issues relevant to Daoist practice.
In conversations with practitioners, often questions arise in regard to the tradition's understanding of the mind, the emotions, and the self, its views on the origins and manifestations of evil and on the role of family, society, deities, and the various levels of the otherworld. The thirteen essays collected here provide some answers to these questions.
The papers divide into three groups. The vast majority are articles written ten to fifteen years ago and published in journals or collections that are difficult to find and often already out of print. Some papers are more recent and appeared in more accessible venues, whose editors kindly agreed to allow this electronic redistribution. A third group has never appeared in English, but was written for presentation and/or publication in German.
