The Daode Jing, a highly enigmatic work rooted in ancient Chinese cosmology, ontology, metaphysics, and moral thinking, is regularly offered to college and highschool students in religion, philosophy, history, literature, Asian studies, and humanities courses. As a result, an everexpanding group of faculty with very different backgrounds and training routinely confront the question: 'How should I teach the Daode Jing?'Written for nonspecialists who may not have a background in ancient Chinese culture, the essays collected in this volume provide uptodate information on contemporary scholarship and classroom strategies that have been successful in a variety of teaching environments.A classic text like the Daode Jing generates debate among scholars and teachers who ask questions like: Should we capitalize on popular interest in the Daode Jing in our classrooms? Which of the many translations and scholarly approaches ought we to use? Is it appropriate to think of the Daode Jing as a religious text at all? These and other controversies are addressed in this volume.Contributors are wellknown scholars of Daoism, including Livia Kohn, Norman Girardot, Robert Henricks, Russell Kirkland, HansGeorg Moeller, Hall Roth, and Michael LaFargue. In addition, there are essays by Eva Wong (Daoist practitioner), David Hall (philosophy), Gary DeAngelis (mysticism), and a jointly written essay on pedagogical strategies by Judith Berling, Geoffrey Foy, and John Thompson (Chinese religion).
