Looking for an introduction into taoism
Looking for an introduction into taoism
I'd like to learn about taoism, the teachings and their historical context.
Does anyone perhaps have a good suggestion for english language works on the subject?

Alan Watts isn't the worst place to start either, especially if you're a total newbie.
The Tao of Pooh and The Te of Piglet are two books that relate to Taoism through Winnie the Pooh and Piglet. A nice start.
I love these two!!
Not quite the historical context I expected, but I'll have a looksy. Thank you!
There is a community !taoism@lemmy.world that might be able to give you some good suggestions.
I will pose the question there too. Thanks for the suggestion.
