Discussion of what Taoism is, how it should be approached and interpreted. Sponsored Links What is Taoism? Is it a highly sophisticated ancient Chinese philosophy? Is it an organized form of popular religion? Or does it have anything to do with either of these, or both? Questions such as these are fundamental for an understanding of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching. In what mindset should this work be read and analyzed: from the same perspective one would use to analyze the bible, or more like the perspective one would use to analyze Socrates or Kant? This question, posed in this way, is the fundamental example of what must be avoided when analyzing the Tao. Taoism is unknown and enigmatic, but it has a pervasive influence on Chinese religion, philosophy, and daily life. It cannot be reduced into a single western category of philosophy or religion, etc. It can, however, be examined in terms of its historical or quasi-historical origins and from a comparative perspective with western culture. The primary difficulty in analyzing the Tao Te Ching is that of translation. The indigenous language in which the Tao Te Ching was written uses symbols to represent things. For example, one symbol represents "the way" (Tao), another represents "virtue" (Te), and although there are qualifiers such as a symbol which represents "nothing" or "without" (wu), there is no coherent way of absolutely knowing the relationship between symbols. There is no linguistic construction for concretely representing causal relationships, for emphasizing certain characters, for detailing exactly what is meant to be said, etc. For example, if a series of characters read:

The Home page of Randy Constan alias Peter Pan My Visions, My dreams, my life A journey of 1000 miles begins with a first step (..Not sure who said this, some say Confucius, other say King Lau Tzu. But my Dad used to say it ALL the time!) The Internet has made it possible to make all of our thoughts available to everyone... quite literally, the whole world! In doing so, our capacity to touch lives, make friends, and share interests has been multiplied beyond anything before in history. Well I, for one, have a lot to share. So much in fact, that I've avoided starting this process for a very long time, as it seemed an endless task. But as my Father always said, a journey of 1000 miles begins with the first step! So with that said, here is my 'home home' page. No, I didn't mistype. My interests are sufficiently diverse, that this starting 'home' page will also serve as a launch pad for many home pages. kind of a 'site map' to my life! That may or may not make sense, but it will help me to organize my thinking a little! Bear with me though, as this is a labor of love that will likely branch out a long way. And though one of my many interests is computer programming, building web sites is something I've still much to learn about. Peter Pan's Home page!
