<p>"The masters of the Huainan were a group of eight Taoist sages who lived at the court of the king of Huainan during the second century B.C. Their ideas were based on the works of Lao-tzu and Chuang-tzu, two classic Tao writers who are believed to have lived around the fourth century B.C. However, while Lao-tzu and Chuang-tzu wrote their masterpieces during times of civil war and chaos, the masters of Huainan lived during an era of reconstruction and relative peace. Their writings reflect this atmosphere,and deal with issues such as government, culture and civilization. This book contains a selection of texts from these Tao sages. The collection covers natural, social and spiritual sciences, connecting issues that concern individual development, the natural environment, and social and political aspects into one humanistic whole. The prevailing idea is that of harmony and peace between the individual and the universe. It contains a program for self-enhancement that can help people attain repose and peace of mind in society and in nature"--p. [4] of cover.</p>
