Thomas Michael is Associate Professor at the Beijing Normal University, China.
This book presents a distinctive interpretative framework that uncovers an early yangsheng reading of the Daodejing through the differences between its early phenomenological and the later metaphysical versions. It engages with current literature from West to East to make a rigorous and genuine contribution. --Robin Wang, Professor of Philosophy, Loyola Marymount University, USA Thomas Michael offers a refreshing interpretation of early Daoism as a philosophy for living-well and the practice of nurturing life. He delves into Huang-Lao, Han dynasty Daoism, and the practices of the Daoist alchemist Ge Hong in the Wei dynasty. The book concludes with a comparative study of the Daodejing and the phenomenology of Martin Heidegger. --James D. Sellmann, Professor of Chinese Philosophy, University of Guam, Guam
