      Laozi's Dao De Jing, written over twenty-five centuries ago, serves as a foundational text in philosophy and a rare glimpse into pre-historical matriarchal thought. Emphasizing feminine virtues, it critiques the rise of science and technology, offering a counterpoint to modern life's challenges. This work resonates with environmentalists, feminists, and pacifists, encouraging critical reflection on societal norms. It's essential reading for Daoist scholars, philosophy students, and those interested in exploring Daoism.

    • Exploring the intersection of philosophy and sexuality, the author reflects on personal experiences and philosophical insights gained during a painful divorce. By teaching a course on the "Philosophy of Sex," he challenges the lack of serious discourse on sexual topics in philosophy. The narrative combines real-life sexual reminiscences with philosophical musings, aiming to provoke thought and subvert societal sexual norms. This work aspires to be a Manifesto of Sexual Liberation, seeking to tell the truth about sexuality and inspire change in contemporary mores.
