Taoist communication theory  

Définition

  • One of the two great philosophical traditions that originated in China, Taoism (also known as Daoism) is both the opposite of and complementary to the other indigenous philosophical tradition, orthodox Confucianism. Whereas Confucius (6th–5th century BC) and Mencius (4th–3rd century BC), one of the foremost Confucian thinkers, promoted moral cultivation and a hierarchical system of human relations as solutions to the social chaos of their times, the founders of Taoism, the mythical Laozi (dated as early as 6th century BC) and Zhuangzi (4th century BC), viewed such moral and social efforts as artificial constraints on the very nature of human beings and the Tao (Way) of the universe.
