Taoista nézőpontok a nyelvértelmezésben és értékelméletben II. by András Várnai

“…Saját tanításuk megalapozásában a dao kiterjesztett jelentése mindent átfogó és mindenben benne rejlő voltával alapvető funkciót tölt be. A Laozi belső feszültségét mindenekelőtt az okozza, hogy valamilyen módon „a kimondhatatlanról” mond valamit, s miközben „a kimondhatatlanságot mondja”, a dao megragadhatatlanságát deklarálja. …”

Defending Paper Gods: Aleister Crowley and the Reception of Daoism in Early Twentieth Century Esotericism by Johan Nilsson

“…At a time when the Theosophical Society started Buddhist schools in Ceylon, Crowley traveled through China arguing with Christian missionaries and sleeping in Daoist temples. Later he praised Laozi as a saint in his Gnostic Mass, proclaimed Daoism “the best of all [mystical] systems” and claimed to have received the original and uncorrupted version of the Daodejing in a religious vision; all this in an intellectual climate where Chinese religion was widely viewed as stagnant and escapist superstition. …”

Translative Trends in Three Modern Greek Renderings of the <i>Daodejing</i> by Dimitra Amarantidou

“…More specifically, I offer an account of the reception and interpretation of the text by looking at three renderings of the <i>Daodejing</i> 道德經 (or <i>Laozi</i> 老子) in modern Greek. I first summarize the translators’ methodologies, overall understanding of the <i>Daodejing</i>’s focus and current relevance, and views on authorship and translation, and identify a set of translative trends: reliance on familiar notions, frameworks, and cultural experiences; mystification; attention to poeticity; and emphasis on a perceived remedial function of the text for a modern Greek readership. …”

A Rhapsody in Pink: Reflections on Seducing Nature through World Philosophies by way of James Joyce’s Ulysses by David Jones

“…Various sources are employed through a variety of philosophic literature: ancient Western, such as Heraclitus, Parmenides, Anaximander, and Plato; the Continental philosophical tradition, such as Nietzsche, Heidegger, Husserl, and Merleau-Ponty; and Asian sources, especially Buddhism (Dōgen and Thich Nat Hanh) and Daoism (Laozi and Zhuangzi). The meditation metaphorically opens with an encounter of the color pink, which is allegorically represented as our entry into the natural world, and how this color has been neutralized through its human intensification in the color red, which in its attempt to exaggerate pink and the natural accomplishes the opposite – the covering up the self-same reality of the world and the human place in the world. …”

Emptiness and desire in the first rule of logic by Jamin Pelkey

“…These layers include a closer reading and exegesis of the original passage and surrounding text; a semiotic reanalysis of this reading in light of recent advances in the semiotic theory of learning; a resituation of these distinctions within broader contemporary discussions of emptiness ontology to which I contribute in part via an original semantic/rhetorical analysis of a linguistic construction in Laozi; the introduction of a closely related pedagogical tool under development in the context of my own university-level teaching in ethnography and research methods; and the dialogic situation of this diagram within discourses of psychotherapy, philosophy and literature. …”
