Chinese texts and philosophical contexts Book

This is one of the best contemporary interpretations of classical daoist thought. Hansen challenges the traditional interpretation of classical daoism being a kind of mystical, esoteric monism and interprets it from a Wittgenstinian perspective. Hansen is one of the best American-born daoist philosophers today. He is chair of the philosophy department at the University of Hong Kong and considered by some to be the reincarnation of Zuangzi. This book is not for beginners but if you have read some of classical daoism and familiar with 20th century philosophy of language, you will love this book.
