Çin İnaçları Taoizm Giriş, Taoizm Nedir? Lao Tzu, Yin Yang ve Wu Wei | Prof. Dr. Kürşad Demirci #18

What is Taoism? Who is Lao Tzu, and what does the Tao Te Ching, attributed to him, say about humanity, nature, and the universe? In this chapter, Prof. Dr. Kürşad Demirci examines the historical context in which Taoism emerged, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, accounts of Lao Tzu's life, and the fundamental concepts of Taoist thought. The chapter also discusses the meanings of the concepts of Tao, Te, Wu Wei, Yin Yang, and Ziran; the transformation of Taoism from a philosophical doctrine to an organized belief system; its importance during the Tang Dynasty and its development in subsequent centuries. The oldest surviving manuscripts of the Tao Te Ching, the Guodian bamboo texts and the Mawangdui silk manuscripts, are also examined within their historical context. This chapter covers: • How did Taoism emerge? • Did Lao Tzu really exist? • What does the Tao Te Ching say? • What do Tao and Te mean? • Does Wu Wei mean “inaction”? • How should Yin and Yang be interpreted? • What is Ziran and harmony with the flow of nature? • How did Taoism transform into a belief system? • Why are the Guodian and Mawangdui manuscripts important?
