This paper argues that the Taoist tradition of philosophical naturalism was an indigenous outgrowth of the southern culture of Chu, thus disputing the long-lived legend about its founder, Lao Dan, being steeped in the learning of Zhou in the north. Its development is seen as a humanistic movement charting a course of distinctive philosophical wisdom, steering clear of the Scylla of archaic religiosity and the Charybdis of Confucian moralism. |
