Daoist Philosophy

Forcing a situation can block the very order you are trying to create.

01 / SUMMARY

In short

Texts associated with Daoism explore dao—the way—naturalness, and non-coercive forms of action gathered under wuwei. The Laozi and Zhuangzi do not offer one identical system.

03 / SCENE

In the wild

Guiding a conversation with one small question may accomplish more than dictating every step of the answer.

04 / LIMIT

The limit

Wuwei does not mean laziness, immobility, or waiting for the universe to discharge your duties.

FINAL NOTE

What remains

Look for the intervention that works with the situation without adding needless force.
