"Nature" in Taoism and Its Enlightenment in Modern Times

"Nature" in Taoism has rich rational connotations. It contains the animalism which stresses the living right of animals, the humanism which lays stress on respecting the freedom of human-beings, the critical realism which is full of the rebellious spirit, the aesthetic concept which advocates the principle of "observing the nature's law and cherishing the truth, the super-realism which emphasizes breaking away from the conventions and common views, and the fatalism which advocates "Happiness consisting in contentment" and "Letting fate take its way." A careful study of this treasure of cultural heritage will give us enlightenment in different respects in modern times.
