New attention and fresh perspectives on the classic, but neglected text of Daoism, the Liezi.The Liezi is the forgotten classic of Daoism. Along with the Laozi (Daodejing) and the Zhuangzi, its been considered a Daoist masterwork since the mideighth century, yet unlike those wellread works, the Liezi is little known and receives scant scholarly attention. Nevertheless, the Liezi is an important text that sheds valuable light on the early history of Daoism, particularly the formative period of sectarian Daoism. We do not know exactly what shape the original text took, but what remains is replete with fantastic characters, whimsical tales, paradoxical aphorisms, and philosophically sophisticated reflection on the nature of the world and humanitys place within it. Ultimately, the Liezi sees the world as one of change and indeterminacy.Arguing for the Liezis historical, philosophical, and literary significance, the contributors to this volume offer a fresh look at this text, using contemporary approaches and providing novel insights. The volume is unique in its attention to both philosophical and religious perspectives.
