Summary: | On the basis of etymological exploration, the essay analyzes Daoism through the lens of mysticism, studying both what we might term its religious and philosophical dimensions. The essay identifies mystical elements in both philosophical Daoist traditions and religious Daoism and notes some of their distinct features. It endeavors to show that the concept of mysticism affords a unique and instructive perspective from which to understand these traditions and explicates two modes of mystical expression and thinking - the inclusivist and exclusivist - that it asserts are represented by philosophical and religious Daoism respectively. |
