Chinese Culture
Promoting Taoism as a philosophy.
http://www.openface.ca/~dstephen/chphil.htm

Extractions: I am interested in, but far from being an expert of, oriental philosophies. The purpose of this section is to help promote Buddhism and Taoism as philosophies and at the same time dispel the general perception that Buddhism and Taoism are mere idol worships, incense burning and fortune telling. I am neither a Buddhist nor a Taoist and do not agree with everything they say. For buddhism, I am intrigued by the way they look at nature. I am attracted to their idea that: "Emptiness or Imperceptibles" (Huon/Kung) Sunyata is the "real world", imperceptible to our senses ; "Form" (Sik) is our "perception" of the "Impercetibles" ; and finally, , is the "representations" we made from the "forms" we have in our minds. This is very similar to the Quantum Mechanical view of: Huon= wave function before a measurement; Sik=result of the measurement ; Shan=representation of the result of the measurement.

http://www.edepot.com/taoroman.html

Extractions: Learn and convert between Chinese Romanizations A romanization system is a method of using letters of the Roman alphabet (ABCD...) to recreate the sounds of a language whose writing system may or may not use the Roman alphabet. A Chinese romanization system would thus be a method of using the Roman alphabet to pronounce Chinese characters (or hanzi) used in Chinese languages. In Mandarin, every Chinese character has a set pitch or tone. There are four possible tones. Because the Chinese characters in Mandarin can also be de-tonalized, a fifth tone can also be considered. Romanization systems indicate tone by one of the following methods... Tone marks: Placing a special mark over a vowel in a syllable to indicate tone.

Chad Hansen's Chinese Philosophy Page (Daoist Interpretations)
This site contains segments of an extended interpretive theory of Classical chinese philosophy that takes Taoism as the philosophical center. The interpretive theory turns on a new, more philosophical reading of the Taoist philosopher Zhuangzi (ChuangTzu).
http://www.hku.hk/philodep/ch/

Extractions: Chad Hansen's Chinese Philosophy Pages Daoist-oriented interpretations This site contains segments of an extended interpretive theory of Classical Chinese philosophy that takes Daoism (Taoism) as the philosophical center . The interpretive theory turns on a new, more philosophical reading of the Daoist philosopher ). My analysis highlights skeptical and relativist themes in his thinking. The crucial novelty is the assumption that Zhuangzi was a philosopher of language , like his close friend and philosophical interlocutor, Hui Shi , . He was deeply engaged with the linguistic and other insights of the Later Mohists (sometimes called Neo-Mohists or Dialectical Mohists) and the School of Names . His relation to the other famous Daoist, Laozi (Lao Tzu) is rather more indirect dao guide at a higher level than do Confucians or Mohists. The site also contains my related writings about Confucianism, Mohism Legalism and some reflections on Asian values human rights and rule of law If you find the interpretive approach and style worthwhile, you may be interested in my systematic and more complete treatment of Chinese thought. I am please to report that Oxford University Press has reissued my book, A Daoist Theory of Chinese Thought , in affordable paperback (at last!). You can find it at
