How do you respond to abundance and power?
Are you rooted and calm, or do you flit about impatiently? Could you be entrusted with a kingdom? Join the Kinship Cafe discussion this week to explore these questions and what they may have to do with a heavy supply cart in chapter 26 of the Daodejing (Tao Te Ching). See the calendar for the online and in-person meetings.

I have seen this one. It is a good way to see what is in the Daodejing from a contextless perspective. By that, I mean the commentary assumes the chapters of the Daodejing don't need any grounding in their history, culture, language, or philosophical context. He just starts talking about them as though they were written in a modern context. This is a common practice, and there is nothing wrong with that approach. I personally find more meaning in the text when I strive to understand what was said within its context.
Language Is A Parasite

An ancient ecological philosophy?
One of the defining characteristics of the Daodejing (Tao Te Ching) is its commitment to Naturalism. Join the Kinship Cafe discussion on Chapter 25 this week to explore the Naturalism described in the Daodejing.

An ancient ecological philosophy?
New Class!
Introduction to the Daodejing is now available in the Classroom! This is a lecture I gave at the Scientifically Informed Philosophy Lecture Series, where I make a case for interacting with the Daodejing in developing a personal philosophy. I am joined by Lawrence M. Krauss, a renowned theoretical physicist, to explore the implications. This event was recorded live at Pauma Valley Country Club, CA, on May 2, 2024
