It is the author’s contention, however, that one overriding concern pervades the work the attempt to define the essential conditions for a Taoist political utopianism. The present study emphasizes Chapter Six of Huai-nan Tzu in expounding the theory of kan-ying STIMULUS-RESPONSE; RESONANCE, which postulates that all things in the universe are interrelated and influence each other according to pre-set patterns. Only in the True Man, who is ‘one with Tao’ and ‘attuned to the cosmos’, does kan-ying attain its ultimate realization, ‘the Great Peace’ and ‘the Great Merging’. ‘After all,’ concludes the author, ‘it is in Huai-nan Tzu that we find the statement.’ “The relation of the Sage to Tao is like the relation of the sunflower to the sun; although they cannot be together all the time, the fidelity of their tendency never wavers.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Columbia University Press","offers":[{"title":"Misc","offer_id":45268649115799,"sku":"9789622091696","price":1620.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789622091696.webp?v=1769236311","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/huai-nan-tzu-philosophical-synthesis-i-9789622091696","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
